Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

Commonly found as an instrumental in the Briggs' banjo Instructor of 1855. It's main popularity was it's presence in the early Minstrel shows. My interludes are directly from the Briggs' book.

I sent a link to this thread to my folksinger friend Alistair, in St. Ives, Cornwall. He said, "Oh yes indeed. There's hardly a dry eye in the house when Trelawney strikes up"....

Oh yes indeed. There's hardly a dry eye in the house when Trelawney strikes up. Actually it is the Cornish Flower of Scotland.
