Mark your calendars and set your DVR players to record. On Friday November 4, 2011, PBS will be airing an 82 minute documentary on the banjo entitled "Arts From The Blue Ridge Mountains: Give Me The Banjo".
The program is narrated by Steve Martin and will chronicle the journey of America's quintessential instrument - the banjo - from its African roots to the 21st century. It brings together banjo players such as Earl Scruggs, Pete Seger, Bela Fleck Mike Seeger, Abigail Washburn and The Carolina Chocolate Drops (to name a few).
