• I am deeply indebted to Bill Evans, ethnomusicologist and world‐class banjo player, for guidance toward relevant literature and for generously suggesting areas of academic exploration. His academic work, banjo workshops, and musicianship produce a more musicologically grounded account of the material I present in this essay.
