Post subject:  Shun the Frumious Banjitar

I was recently asked to contribute information about 6-string banjos to a newsletter. Then I discovered that the name of the article was going to include the word "banjitar," a derogatory term used to make fun of guitar players who swallow the marketing hype that 6-string banjos will turn them into "real banjo players" instantly. Even if that were true, which it's not, such thinking betrays ignorance about the 6-string banjo's origins or its long history as a Jazz instrument both in the United States and in Europe.

So I blogged about it. Plus I made a little sort of cartoon (below).

The article that spurred the “Banjitar” Blog is now published here: http://blog.deeringbanjos.com/what-is-a-banjitar/

One of the photos isn’t properly explained, but I gave the editor such a hard time I think I’ll let it go. :-)
