Re: The Banjo Database.

I particularly love the tinted ambrotype of the young woman playing the banjo with that great big ring on her finger. She's a beauty.

You talkin' about the African-American woman? Rare image that. And she is rather handsome, I should think. I dig her Boo-shay banjo. It looks exactly like my Wunder

Re: The Banjo Database.

Greg and I met with the NEH yesterday to look into future expansion and funding. We will meet again Monday to work on grant wording. We hope to add a scholars forum for comentary on images as well as an expanded search function.

I hope you will all support this efort. We have many more entries to make but time and money are always short!

If you find a banjo, please send it to us to a work-up! We hope that this will expand many times beyond its current humble parameters.

Thanks, Cousin Samuel :wink_smil for those wonderful images. I particularly love the tinted ambrotype of the young woman playing the banjo with that great big ring on her finger. She's a beauty. I enjoyed the chance to see the humble interiors in these pictures. What a nice collection.

Carl -

It's a great site.

Do you think Greg or George want old banjo-related finds forwarded to them for evaluation and possible contribution to the database? We of the 'early banjo' community know how to contact them, but it seems there should be a link for contributions if they want the database to grow.

Greg Adams is as good an archivist as he is a player (and he's a pretty impressive player).
