Episode 15: Pre-Deliverance, Part 1
Manage episode 390142120 series 3317440
Play a game of word association with the average American.
Say "banjo".
Chances are, a great many would reply with words like "hillbilly" or "redneck".
Some might venture to mention bluegrass music.
How did a musical instrument which started off hundreds of years ago in Africa end-up becoming a symbol of "white" American music culture?
And what if some of the earliest people of non-African ancestry to take-up the banjo were actually...Appalachian Jews?
Join us for another winding trek through the hidden history of heartland America.
