Skin, string, wood, and gourd.
We are pleased to have Jeff Menzies with us on the show. Mr. Menzies is a visual artist, musical instrument maker, and educator working out of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. In this chapter, he shares his journeys and approaches towards creation, as well as the journeys of the banjo and its predecessors, from Africa through the Caribbean Islands.
Tune into the sounds of Menzies.
