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.

I made a change to the way discussions are listed. Hopefully this will help.

Hi Jim!

Thank you your comment.

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.

This is Blog of me about this.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes I love making banjos. I am building a larger shop to expand my banjo making production. I just finished 100 Boucher shoes.
