A big WELCOME to all visitors here at the NEW home of
Basic Bluegrass Banjo. Having been forced to leave the original site
Id like to pass on a big THANKS to my
song co-writer and friend Julie Ferris
for hosting my site, keeping it free and now AD FREE (except for my affiliaties).
A few years ago I noticed there wasn't alot of basic information available on banjos on the internet so
I began this small website. For any folks interested in how to buy or play
a banjo this site is for you.
The second part is a document I call, History of Banjo Players In The 20th Century.
That section tells about many of the major banjo players, in all genres during the last century.
It includes, pictures, sound clips and short bios. It is not a complete record
but I do try to cover the major players of the 20th century.
Additionally there is a page at the end for the resources used in assembling that information, which
should be of interest to all banjoists and people who enjoy banjos. It also
includes discographys of all the players mentioned in that section.
This section also has navigation tools on each page, but to return to this main page you
must return to the main index page of that section to access a link back here.
You may wish to bookmark my websources and links page before you leave. I update it frequently. Many great resources, banjo makers, publications you can access over the web, links to links, newsgroups to visit, lots of stuff there. If you're looking to find old time music and bluegrass
on the web, make sure to visit some of the Real Audio websites I have listed you won't be disappointed.
NEW ADDITIONS to this site
include a page on banjo great Vess Ossman in the History section.
Included in that page is a link to a great bio on Fred Van Eps. Both of these
men were giants in their field. I hope you enjoy this site, come back often. I'll continue to update and add new things as I find it. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
