Presents the origin of the banjo, the development of southern folk music and its influence upon Americans. Pete Seeger plays his banjo and narrates the story.

Review (excerpt):

"Fine views of the "back to the simpler past" movement of American folk music before, just before, it was discovered by the main stream. It gives a glimpse into what the hootenannies were really like in the folk underground in New York...." (vteach)

NOTE:
Although both archive.org and imdb.com give the date of this film as 1947, the film's (presumably lapsed) copyright date is given as 1946 (in Roman numerals).
