This YouTube video showcases a late 1890s S.S. Stewart "Special Thoroughbred" banjo with a 10-5/8" pot. The description extensively details the historical and cultural context of the banjo, linking it to Native American heritage, folk music traditions, moundbuilders, outlaws, and early minstrel shows. It highlights various playing styles, musical genres (including blues, waltz, skiffle, tin pan alley, Afro-Caribbean, West African, Cajun zydeco, Métis, Creole, and Melungeon indigenous traditions), and associated artists and musicians. The creator, Clifton Hicks, also provides links to his Patreon, SubscribeStar, Bandcamp, merchandise, and payment platforms.
