“Amazing..meaning Taj always kept folk history alive….and now in 2009 I’m studying banjo and blues (on the very historica) instruments he is playing. Now I will take his advice and have 10 year African-American child begin banjo…Taj thank-you as well as Thirteen for keeping the archives….
Taj makes the banjo sound so cool
And the Kalimba …. awesome
