Backroads and Banjos

Omer Forster

This week’s Backroads & Banjos segment is devoted to the music of little known banjo player Omer Forster. Forster was a Tennessee musician who developed his own two-finger style of picking the banjo that made for a very clean tone and great precision on the instrument.
