Charlie Poole 1892-1931 |
| |
| Charlie Poole & his North Carolina Ramblers were one of the
most popular string bands of the 1920s and had a great influence on
the development of banjo music. His three-finger banjo technique is
a fascinating predecessor to Earl Scruggs' more fiery technique. Poole
is largely responsible for popularizing the banjo and created a unique
playing style involving his thumb and two fingers. |
