    To those people calling this man an Uncle Tom, I would say that singing, resurrecting the instruments of the slaves, and demonstrating that all of those people who suffered under slavery were people, with art and culture and songs, is NOT a disservice to them. It makes them real, so mankind can realize the evils of the past and never repeat them. To see a man with different skin from your own allows you to believe he does not suffer as you would. But when you hear his words, listen to what his instrument sounded like and how he used it to sing about his life, you can no longer persist in that safe delusion of difference. We are the same, and that realization helps people to understand the evils of the things men do to one another.

      Not even remotely the same thing. You see, when you have a child, nobody makes your child work the field at the age of 3. Nobody will sell your child to the farm next door. Nobody will sell your wife to a stranger at auction. Nobody can beat you for leaving your home and going somewhere else. Nobody rapes your wife because she's their property.
      So, it's KIND OF different.

You have to be a VERY competent musician to make one of those sound good and Cedric truly excels in that department. Thanks for posting that gem, Cedric!

    Just love it, Cedric. The 19th century was a very difficult time for black folks so it makes sense that the string instruments and stringed instrument music from this era have largely been shunned by black folks in the second half of the 20th century up til now.

Nothing but autotune and a bunch of entitled rich fucks singing about immoral shit. The good music (like bluegrass and real country and folk) is timeless. Us folks who enjoy real music will never stop listening to it nor stop playing, and then we pass it down through the generations so it will be enjoyed for all time.

    Oh, go dig a hole in the meadow
    Go dig a hole in the ground
    Go dig a hole in the meadow
    And let me lay darlin’ Cori down
    The last time I saw darlin’ Cori
    At the edge of the deep blue sea
    Forty-four around her
    And a banjo on her knee
    Wake up, wake up darlin’ Cori
    How can you sleep so sound?
    Revenue officers are coming
    He's gonna burn your still house down
    Go way, go way darlin’ Cori
    And bring to me my gun
    I ain't no man for trouble
    But trouble has just begun
    I ain't no man for trouble
    But I'll die before i run
    The last time I saw darlin’ Cori
    Had a forty-four in her hand
    I killed that revenue officer
    If he leaves here with my man
    It crossed the deep blue ocean
    It crossed the deep blue sea
    Bring to me darlin’ Cori
    Wherever she may be
    Go way, go way darlin’ Cori
    Which your hanging around my bed
    The whisky done ruined my body
    Pretty women gon’ ruin my head

      @@The_13th_Hussar I agree in part, but the early Banjo called the Banjar derived from the African instrument called the Akonting. The Akonting is the folk lute of the Jola people, found in Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau in West Africa.
      The akonting is made with a long bamboo neck called a bangoe. The material for the neck, called ban julo in the Mandinka language, again gives Banjul. In this interpretation, Banjul became a sort of eponym for the Akonting as it crossed the Atlantic.

    Beautifully played, and a wonderful sounding instrument. Cool song, also, and I could have left it at that, were it not for folks referring to it as a "slave" song. This is a song (though collected in North Carolina, originally) of the south, via the Appalachians all day long. In that way, it so transcends color. The fact that it has been recorded by Bill Monroe and Harry Belafonte alike testifies to this. The banjo truly carries with it a tradition that spans continents. From Ireland/Scotland, to the Appalachians, down through the deep south, to the Caribbean, it is an instrument that brings folks together.
