To truly learn the roots of the banjo, one must travel to AFRICA! Imagine that; a musical instrument many think of having bluegrass country roots has origins in the mother land.  Or how about this one; the 'King' of Rock 'n Roll is actually a 'QUEEN' by the name of Rosetta Thorp, who credits her inspiration to Rock 'n Roll as being gospel music.
