I joined HTMA in late 2005, and by 2006, I had heard Dan Charles’ beautiful fiddling at many meetings.

  • The Integration of the Banjo Into 19Th Century American Folk Music
    An Olive Branch in Appalachia: The Integration of the Banjo into 19th Century American Folk Music by Sean Peters Few instruments are as identifiable to Americans as the banjo and arguably no time period was more transformative for the banjo than the 19th century. Appealing to the wealthy, bridging racial gaps, settling the west, and finding its home in the mountains, the banjo witnessed American history transpire firsthand. A stick attached to a gourd and strung is a relatively simplistic invention, but the history of the banjo is full of challenges and intrigue that make this instrument an important symbol in American music. The banjo’s journey through the 19th century exemplifies what the “American Dream” is and shows the impact a symbol can have on a culture. A quote from Philadelphia Music and Drama from 1891 describes the banjo and its appeal. According to the publication “the banjo has a positive musical charm in the country. Here we can see that it fits the surroundings. Its half barbaric twang is in harmony with the unmechanical melodies of the birds.” 1 The association of African American culture and the banjo led to the minstrel shows of the 19th century. The minstrel show brought the banjo into the mainstream, and at the beginning of the nineteenth century, represented African American music at the time. It was in the 1840s that the minstrel shows began to popularize the banjo in America. These minstrel shows in the United States appear to have helped secure a permanent, albeit niche role, in American folk traditions.

  • Custom and Tradition in a Modern Early Banjo Revival
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: NINETEENTH-CENTURY BANJOS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: CUSTOM AND TRADITION IN A MODERN EARLY BANJO REVIVAL Greg C. Adams, M.A., 2012 Directed By: Professor J. Lawrence Witzleben, School of Music This thesis demonstrates how members of a modern music revival use the banjo to create a counter narrative to America’s whiteness. Within this revival, nineteenth- century banjos are central to a growing interest in antebellum, early minstrel, and Civil War era music and culture. As researchers, collectors, musicians, and instrument builders pursue this interest, they explore the dissonances of the legacies surrounding slavery, blackface minstrelsy, and the traumas of the American Civil War. Framing this phenomenon within Eric Hobsbawm’s theories of custom and tradition and Thomas Turino’s concepts of habits, socialization, and cultural cohort relationships, I argue that this modern revival supports a form of critical ethnography aimed for advocacy on three fronts—advocacy that challenges marginalizing stereotypes, promotes opportunities to rethink the banjo’s cultural significance as a national instrument of whiteness, and creates greater infrastructure for the knowledge and material culture amassed by members of the banjo community.
