Tom Banjo & Ethan Azarian (VPR Article & Video)

"Growing up during the Great Depresssion, we remembered the lack of food and how a hot dog was a luxury. Homemade music and radio kept hope alive across the USA. Our family jammed with neighbors on Saturday nights. At 11 years old, my older brother and I worked on many tobacco farms where I saved money to buy my first banjo.Our music was called "hillbilly" music. During the 60's college kids called it "folk music" as it became popular. I'd never been to college, or even high school, but that's where an appreciative audience was.In 1959, students at the University of Connecticut named me "Tom Banjo" because they didn't know my last name, only that I was an unemployed, wandering vagabond who would appear and disappear playing the banjo."
