"Highly recommended….an exhilarating, musical and multi-dimensional journey….a provocative political and social history of America." - Chicago Sun-Times In this tour-de-force Miles portrays the banjo’s journey from an African instrument in the hull of a slave ship to the “our towns” of America. Miles weaves this musical narrative with five banjos, a fistful of songs, and the exquisite work of Pete Seeger, Carl Sandburg, Woody Guthrie, Walt Whitman, Solomon Northrup and J.S. Bach and many others. Protest songs, fiddle tunes, minstrel songs, ragtime and a dazzling array of banjo playing form the backbone of From Senegal to Seeger, but it is the poetic and compelling stories along the way that complete this portrait of America. "Give the banjo to Michael J. Miles and you'll hear a mighty soul-stirring sound!" - Chicago Sun-Times More info at MilesMusic.org
