To truly learn the roots of the banjo, one must travel to AFRICA! Imagine that; a musical instrument many think of having bluegrass country roots has origins in the mother land.  Or how about this one; the 'King' of Rock 'n Roll is actually a 'QUEEN' by the name of Rosetta Thorp, who credits her inspiration to Rock 'n Roll as being gospel music. The truth is, the further you dig into the beginnings of music as we know it, the blacker the roots get. Our apologies if we come off radical, but in the Season Premiere of Sunday Sips, you can expect more conversations on the topic: Black Music? Or Music the is Black?
