Banjo and fiddle player, David Bragger, talks about his surreal experiences traveling with itinerant street magicians in India. A monkey skull bursts into flames when blood is poured on it! Do you need to know any more? He also talks about his obsession with raw Appalachian folk music, and plays some incredible fiddle and banjo tunes.

David Bragger is a musician based in Los Angeles. He teaches bowing and banjo, in person and on Skype, as well as running a label that produces videos and recordings of contemporary old time musicians, including Dan Gellert, who gets my vote for greatest banjo player alive today.
