Obituaries of Some of the Past Great Classic Banjoists

Over the course of the last two Centuries, many banjoists have come and departed. Many of them are unfamiliar to most of the present day banjoists. This section is an attempt to show that they were missed by their colleagues and remembered forever. Though this is a small introduction to the many banjoists that will be missed, it should stand as a starting point for adding obituaries of other departed banjoists. If you have an obituary that should be included on these pages, please contribute to Classic Banjo Research.
