Wow, Bob! I just watched the PBS video and was totally blown away. You certainly live in a musical part of the world. I would love to have you take me to meet the rural people of WV.

Q: Early in the program it said the banjo was an "African instrument" then, later, they said it was an "American instrument." Which is it?

Also, I know "hammer-ons" and "pull-offs" date back perhaps hundreds of years but I have never credited Pete Seeger with originating those terms. What had they been called prior to his book?

Anyway, thank you sincerely for giving me a fabulous, musical morning.
