| Publisher Description: Frank Converse, sometimes called "The Father of The Banjo," published his "Banjo Reminiscences" in Cadenza from June 1901 through September 1902. They comprise one of the few primary sources on the history of minstrel shows and banjo playing in 19th century America. "Banjo Reminiscences" is essential reading for any scholar or enthusiast who requires a first-hand look at the players and makers of the five string banjo. |
