@MHLee, yes, Gus wasn't in my archives, but I'm getting in the habit of looking a little further now.

Gus Canon and Canon's Jug Stompers were one the really big names in jugband music. The rival band was the Memphis Jugband.

I've got the complete recordings of Charlie Poole who to me is one of the most important early banjoneers. Loudin Wainright III did a great cover album of his songs a few years back.

Ah, thanks for another line of inquiry!

This one I have never heard though and I love. I know a banjo player who would get a kick out of this.

This sounds so good! Listen to that tuba (?)!

I think that's the "jug"

It might be a jug

The jug part is fantastic

And there might be a bariton sax playing along, but it could also be a second, bigger jug

Thinking of other early banjo players. Dock Boggs was very active in the 1930s... in the late 20s there was a Dock Walsh... Stringbean was playing some stuff and in Bill Monroes bluegrass boys before Scruggs created the Scruggs style of banjo playing which revolutionized banjo

I think we found ourselves another rabbit hole!

My first exposure to banjo came from our next door neighbor, Mr. Moynihan. He used to greet me and my brothers with a deep, loud, “Hey gang!” every time he’d see us. One day he was sitting on his front steps playing his banjo. My Dad , (a piano player himself) brought us over to listen to him play. That was the only day we ever saw him play but I’ll never forget it. He was good. Wish he would’ve played it more. Hard to find banjo-playing-neighbors these days
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46am
MHLee:

Indeed. Heck I can spit tons of names. There's a big difference in the style of playing and in the banjos played. Jazz prefers the plectrum which is a kind of four stringed banjo. Pre-scurggs most banjo playing is "failing" or clawhammer, there are some early 3 finger banjo players like Don Reno but 3 finger becomes predominant with Scruggs and in bluegrass music.... you see scruggs doesn't just play notes in melody he produces "banjo noise" which makes his banjo playing very loud and full
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48am
MHLee:

per wikipedoia "Scruggs style is the most common style of playing the banjo in bluegrass music. It is a fingerpicking method, also known as three-finger style. It is named after Earl Scruggs, whose innovative approach and technical mastery of the instrument have influenced generations of bluegrass banjoists ever since he was first recorded in 1946. It contrasts with earlier styles such as minstrel, classic or parlor style (a late 19th-century finger-style played without picks), clawhammer/frailing/two-finger style (played with thumb and nail of the first or middle finger), jazz styles played with a plectrum, and more modern styles such as Keith/melodic/chromatic/arpa style, and single-string/Reno style. The influence of Scruggs is so pervasive that even bluegrass players such as Bill Keith and Don Reno, who are credited with developing these latter styles, typically work out of the Scruggs style much of the time."

Paul, it so happens that a few weeks ago I was sitting outside in my little back yard garden with a friend, hearing somebody play and I asked my friend (also music teacher) "Is that a banjo I'm hearing?"
It turned out is was. A black family with three or four young children has moved into a house in our street. Every now and than the father sits in the garden with his kids and wife and friends around him and plays the banjo for an hour or so. Sometimes the kids are playing along on glockenspiels. That really makes my music teacher's heart make a jump!

Jan Turkenburg:

And the funny thing is, he is mostly playing African (Senegalish) sounding music on a banjo, singing along sometimes.

That sounds amazing, Jan! What a gift! You need to do yourself a favor and introduce yourself to them! They sound like a great family!
