What's the name of the song at the end? It is not only engaging but perfectly sums up the points Clifton Hicks made about banjo music.

2021-06-17 02:04:09 +0000 UTCTo me it is that history is always more complicated than it looks, it is rarely as pretty either.

2021-04-18 10:04:13 +0000 UTCI love how both you gents can talk about topics that are really tough, and acknowledge seemingly in one breath that you are not really the right people to talk about how it affected everyone, that its more complex than most of us know, but also not make any excuses for the past. I don't think its a "southern" thing. I think you both understand your own limits enough that it comes across in a way that really hit home in a way that added more clarity to my understanding of the world. Odd that adding complexity adds clarity, but maybe its more adding more resolution to the image. Either way, well done gents.

2021-04-18 08:35:30 +0000 UTCI'm never going to learn to play the banjo. After hearing this podcast though I subbed to Mr. Hick's youtube channel and have been binge watching his videos. The history is fascinating, and his passion for the subject really comes through. Thanks for turning me on to his content.

2021-03-28 22:07:40 +0000 UTCWow! I've always appreciated it as one of the few Native American instruments. And I've had friends who have done quite well playing it. But the opportunity has always escaped me

2021-03-26 21:04:07 +0000 UTCNice episode. The History of everyone going away from the 5 string except the south was interesting to me because of a purchase I made awhile ago. I am a drummer and always looking for vintage drums. I was in an antique store and saw a strange looking banjo in a back corner. I kept on walking because well it's a banjo. But I kept thinking about it and a little later went back for a closer look. Someone had bolted a guitar neck onto a snare drum to make a banjo guitar. As I looked even closer I found the drum the neck was attached to was one of the coveted 1919 Ludwig and Ludwig Nickle on brass two piece shell! Best $125 I ever spent.

2021-03-26 20:10:52 +0000 UTCSuperb episode & I've gone on a search for the banjo pickers of bygone days. Gandpa Jones ... from Hee Haw and David Stringbean Akeman. Yes - now subscribed now to Clifton's YouTube channel. I also enjoyed the history of Clifton's house. Fascinating.
2021-03-26 13:35:39 +0000 UTCHe really did under estimate just how captive of an audience he would have for this topic. I loved it!

2021-03-25 16:23:48 +0000 UTCSomewhat off topic but if you're looking for early accounts of American frontier life check out the diary of Charles Woodmason. He traveled around South Carolina in 1760 and wrote a detailed account of how people lived.

2021-03-25 06:09:34 +0000 UTCDue to the arrival of twins I have not had much time to watch your primer episodes in recent months. Which is why I would like to thank you so much for continuing to produce these excellent podcasts. These days they are my primary source of engagement with your channel and they have saved my sanity during a late night more than once! Love the channel and plan to continue being a patreon for a long time to come :-)
