It delves into traditional southern Appalachian mountain hoedown and early minstrel show techniques. The content also touches on the history, anthropology, folklore, research, and musicology of banjo playing, including breakdowns, blues, waltz pieces, tin pan alley, Afro-Caribbean and West African influences, and references to Cajun, zydeco, Métis, Creole, Melungeon, and indigenous North American music traditions.
