		The four-string banjo is generally strummed, and the five-string banjo is generally picked.
		I would have to down-tune the banjo until it was in the same key as the down-shifted recording, which caused the strings to become so slack that they would oscillate like a slow-motion jump rope.
		The Topanga Canyon Banjo and Fiddle Contest took place in the summertime in California, and the contest was held under trees in the dry forests of the Santa Monica mountains.

		Banjo!" she squawked, recognising two of the three yelling voices as those of Tooty and Bottles the mole.
		Pull yourself together!" Banjo groaned again, rolled over, and was about to say something else when Kazooie's struggles proved too much for the supporting stand, toppling it onto the floor with a crash and an undignified squawk.
		Banjo gulped and searched the room for his feathered friend, realising that this was definitely going to be one of those days.

	Banjo & Sullivan - The Ultimate Collection 1972-1978 (Album Review)
		The story of Banjo and Sullivan is the stuff of country legend, and the music is pure roadhouse fun which is why it is so odd that no one has ever heard of them.
		In fact, Banjo and Sullivan is the creation of heavy metal star and horror movie auteur Rob Zombie, whose film The Devil’s Rejects concerns the story of the duo and the murderous gang who slaughtered their wives.
		Banjo and Sullivan’s The Ultimate Collection 1972–1978 is not only one of the coolest marketing ploys in recent memory, but it’s also one of the most enjoyable and smile-inducing country albums released this year.

	Thumbnail History of the Banjo
		The banjo, as we can begin to recognize it, was made by African slaves, based on instruments that were indigenous to their parts of Africa.
		There are records of urban banjo contests and tournaments held at hotels, race tracks and bars, especially in New York, to the enthusiastic cheering and clapping of sometimes inebriated crowds.
		The banjo was played in the "classical" style, which meant that it was picked with the fingers in imitation of the popular guitar players of the day.

	The Banjo Player - Blackguard Bewilder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Its ancestry is African, but the banjo as we know it is a far cry from the hollowed-out gourds with crude necks and strings first played here by slaves on the Southern plantations.
		Played solo or as an accompaniment to their singing, which in itself became the wellspring of the Negroes' social and cultural life, the banjo soon came to the attention of the slaves' white masters.
		In the 19th century improved models of the banjo, with machined pegs for precise tuning and vellum heads with adjustable tension, were a staple instrument in the minstrel shows; virtuoso performers, both fl and white, began to appear on the stage.

		When Banjo finds all the members of a jinjo family, the family will automatically reward Banjo with a jiggy.

	Huber Banjos - The Huber Banjo Story
		A little more than five years ago I decided to build and market a banjo that was made to the same standards as the great pre-war mastertones.
		Great care is used in fitting the ring, flange and neck to the rim, as this is very important to the tone and volume of the banjo.
		I am constantly striving to learn more and more about banjo tone and I will incorporate everything I learn into the Huber banjo and hope that these banjos will be the finest ever produced.

	Banjo-Kazooie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along their journey, Banjo and Kazooie receive help from Mumbo Jumbo the shaman and Bottles the mole, as well as from various other characters in smaller roles.
		On that particular morning, while the sun is shining and the fauna are flourishing, Banjo lies snoring in his bed while Tooty is waiting for Banjo to "go on an adventure" with her.
		Gruntilda the witch always spoke in rhymes (which she would declare inexplicably as Banjo and Kazooie wandered about her lair), such as "it really does sound quite absurd, adventure of a bear and bird!" Kazooie was always very annoyed at Bottles the mole, and various other smaller characters made memorable appearances.

		This little Christmas story started back in the late 1800s sometime, and as incredible as all of this is going to sound, I'll swear on a stack of Bibles that it's 100 percent the truth.
		The head was busted, the strings and tuning pegs were missing, and it had been played so much that there were holes in the neck where the favorite chords had been played for the last 75 years or so.

	Outer Sound: Features = Punk Rock Banjo
		The person in the picture is Eric Johnson, a guitar and banjo instructor at the school who, as fate would have it, became my teacher.
		The banjo is popping up in dozens of songs -- not just the usual countryfied suspects such as Wilco and the Bottlerockets, but also indie-rock staples like Ani DiFranco and Pavement.
		Take this to the logical extreme and you unleash a torrent of fiddles, banjos, and mandolins onto rock listeners, maybe even creating a genre with the staying power to silence critics who say alt-country is nothing more than a fad.

		More than anything else, you’d have to mention that he is one of the pioneers of the melodic style of clawhammer banjo, a style not for the musically faint of heart or technically inept.
		It is a technique that has opened up new possibilities for the five-string banjo, allowing a greater repertoire of songs to enter, and in some cases, return, to the realm of old-time music.
		Perlman and his banjo caught some fiddlers of the region by surprise, and he couldn’t resist a wicked bit of fun.

	The Banjo Story Review \| Beck \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		I say this because the album is comprised of a banjo and a five dollar drum set (AKA bucket, trashcan, coffee container) and the sound does not stand well on its own.
		The banjo twang gets a tad annoying and the drumming is a bit distracting but what can you expect from an 18 year old kid trying to make his first album?
		They can not be learned and they have been with him since birth.

	Banjo in Traditional Music
		This prototype was eventually to lead to the evolution of the modern banjo in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
		The overwhelming likelihood is that it was the 5-string banjo of the minstrels and not the earlier three or four string variety which was common on the plantations.
		The tenor banjo had 17 or 19 frets, a shorter neck tuned in fifths, just like the mandolin or fiddle, though not necessarily at the same pitch, and was played with a plectrum.

		His banjos proved popular and in three years he had set up an instrument factory in Newhall Street and was employing a staff of twenty-five, all making banjos.
		He made the first mandolin banjo with a back built up of separate segments and in 1893 took out a patent to use the same method for the backs of zither-banjos, although he continued to use one-piece backs on his cheaper models.
		The firms range of banjos, zither-banjos, banjolins and mandolin-banjos was wide because, they offered a large discount on catalogue prices, their lower-priced instruments became known in the trade as "pawnshop banjos".

	Emile Grimshaw, Banjo
		Emile Grimshaw was a noted English banjo player who played for many years in a quartet in the early part of the 1900s and eventually extended his contributions to composition and instruction.
		The banjo had been in existence long before it was rediscovered in America at the beginning of the 19th century.
		The banjo's rich, full tone can be used to great effect as a self-accompanying solo instrument incorporating melody, harmony and chords all at once to produce a complete and exciting solo pieces.

	Music Folk Features: A Brief History of the Banjo
		Though many people think that the banjo is the all-American instrument, born and developed in the good ol' U. of A., they're only telling you a partial truth and a very small part of the whole story.
		It's the most prevalent type of banjo in many popular styles of American music such as Bluegrass, Dixieland, and Country, so naturally, being exposed to no other types of banjos, one would assume that the 5-string IS the banjo.
		The banjo didn't actually make it to America until the African slaves were forced to come here in the 17th Century.
