The South Road-In 1846 my mother's great, great grandparents, Wilson and Abigail Lee, joined a wagon train in Holt County, Missouri, bound for the Oregon Country on the Emigrant Road. They followed the Applegate, or South Road, to Oregon and settled in Polk County OR, near present day Dallas. I'd like to think there might have been a banjo player or two amongst the company of emigrants.

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
