Mike Seeger's in-depth survey of southern banjo styles teaches nine pieces to help players develop a full range of repertoire and traditional techniques. Each section features a performance of an important historic song, information as to its style and source, a close-up view of each of the nine banjos used, and detailed instruction on how to play it. Songs: "Soon in the Morning, Babe", "Roustabout", "Jim Crack Corn", "Battle in the Horseshoe", "Darling Cora", "Devil's Dream", "Little Birdie", "Around the World", and "Whoopin' Up Cattle". The material presented here is based on Mike Seeger's Grammy-nominated Smithsonian CD Southern Banjo Sounds. 86 minutes, VHS Video Cassette
