Another Advert Break | this one’s a BOOK! | Go Back and Fetch It by Gaddy and Giddens

 

: Recovering Early Black Music in The Americas for Fiddle and Banjo

Now we like Rhiannon Giddens and since the Carolina Chocolate Drops ( a name poor ole whitey here always struggled uncomfortably with though enjoying the music - of course!) have always checked out her work but here she has written a book . . .we should go buy it. Woman is a force of nature!

"Rhiannon Giddens has joined with music writer Kristina R. Gaddy to create the songbook 'Go Back and Fetch It: Recovering Early Black Music in the Americas for Fiddle and Banjo,' due in September 2025 from University of North Carolina Press. Presenting music from 1687 through the 1850s in modern treble clef and banjo tablature, along with the stories behind each song, Gaddy and Giddens take readers on a journey from the Caribbean across the Americas."
