Comment on Africa Polka by Lucas Gonze

Glad you stopped by, Chris.

The vamp is a risk, musically. It’s like a breakdown except that it goes on for a whole verse.

Anyhow, yup, classicbanjo.com… I’ve come across it in the past. The scans of old banjo books are incredible. A-ma-zing. For example, this thing is like the British invasion in reverse:

Hey, Lucas, I haven’t been here for awhile, but very nice recording of Africa Polka. Thanks! I like the vamp in the middle, gives it a nice character. If you haven’t already, check out classicbanjo.com for more about upper-class banjo in the late 19th. c.
Best, and keep playing,
Chris.

I like artists who understand that a concert can be in a grocery store aisle, and that a world tour can include not only libraries but also laundromats and great big rocks.

Awesome. That guy is so Wilfred Brimly. I would gladly buy oatmeal from him.

I like how in the introduction the author points out that he is no music monger. I am no music monger, not me.
