A History of the Banjo by Frank Converse

Description

When Frank Coverse died in 1903, his obituary proclaimed him as the "Father of the Banjo." Born in 1837, he performed in minstrel shows and was recalled later as "the man who made the banjo popular." Late in life he prepared a series of articles for The Cadenza, a monthly music magazine. These fifteen essays he called "Banjo Reminiscenses" are collected in this 150 page paperbound volume, edited by Paul Heller. ISBN-13 978-1466308114.
