Very Strange, if you go to forum and sort by newest discussions it shows up, but not sorting by latest activity. In fact, the number of discussions is different depending on how you sort. This looks like a software bug. I'll notify ning.
My name is Satoshi Hara of the banjo player of the Japanese.
I live in Yokohama Japan.
I am examining about banjo's being played first in Japan.
It was played by the ceremony when permitting American's entering Japan since 400 year national isolation in the times of SAMURAI first.
In 1854, a minstrel show was played in that ceremony which was done in the eve of the conclusion of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan inYokohama Japan.
Then, it invited about 400 warriors of the Japanese into the Black Ship and an welcome party was opened.
The picture which was drawn then is kept in some of the Japan museums.
Also, the program which was played then existed in America.
I could find music in the program from the homepage in Library of Congress in America.
I held the reappearance concert of their music in Yokohama with several banjoists in Japan.
However, there is music not to understand yet.
I want the information on these music.
Hi Jim,
I hail from the central Delaware area, so I can travel to Philly or Baltimore or maybe Wash DC. Would like to start a slow jam in my area for old time music this spring. I'll post it when its up and running. Thanks for the welcome to the page!
That is a very nice banjo you have there. Yep thats one of mine in the above pic. I would love to make you a gourd banjo one day. The gourd banjo class will be a blast.
