The Banjo is truly an international multi-cultural instrument. The banjo dates back 5000 years to the Chinese instrument the Qinqin. It would have made its way to India and North Africa via trade routes and then to America. Modern Qinqin even look like modern resonator American banjos. Europeans were first introduced to the banjo when they were captured by Barbary pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. If they survived the castration procedure they would surely have encountered similar instruments in the slave camps where they toiled. Yes, the Banjo is an International Instrument and unites many cultures.
I always pass this place and I can’t help but cringe. I hope this place closes down it’s so racist. Don’t belive me? Try to find a single black or Hispanic person here
I've grown up in Newton grove a small town about 25 to 30 minutes outside of Smithfield and I always hated bright leaf vs brown hotdogs but eventually i grew up and realized how much better they are, coukd sit and eat 6 in one sitting if I wanted to they are delicious
"To Lead, and to March, it is designed to establish further and restore the vastness of the lands thereof, therein and in the areas, waiting for its grandeur, preservateur, Congratulateur" KJV 1611. ∆ Thy Words are LIFE.
I did 12 plays at the Kirby when I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. Children's Theatre, Roxboro Little Theatre and Person Players productions. The Kirby is my favorite place in Roxboro. I have carried the lessons that I learned at the Kirby with me throughout my life. I am so glad that the Kirby still exists and hopefully it can continue to contribute to the lives of the kids and the community of Roxboro for many generations to come.
I've been coming to Calabash and eating at Beck's since I was a child with my grandparents and parents. My dads side of the family are all from around Columbia SC and they found this gem many years ago. We have lived in Kentucky since 1974 but always vacationed somewhere up and down the coast around Myrtle Beach. If we stayed a week, we drove north across the state line to Calabash at least twice to eat! I've tried to explain to people that "Calabash Style" isn't the real deal and they MUST go there and experience it! Amazing
as a former resident of tarboro, my heart was broken by the devastation of the flooding. I haven't been to the area in over 20 years and plan on returning this year hopefully I can stay this time

Mr. Madren, what is the best wood to make a dough bowl from. My step son has an old bowl that is a family heirloom. I believe it is made from American Chestnut wood. The wood is very rare theses days. Have you ever seen a dough bowl made from American Chestnut?
Hello my name is Kenneth, my Mother was Sarah Pigford from South Carolina. I'm researching my family history, any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.🙏🏼
This very Nice... People please do your own research. Freemans are not African Americans or decedent of Slaves. Peace to All Living Freemans no matter your Nation . FREEMANS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN AMERICAS BEFORE THE 20TH CENTURY
Back in 1976 I was working at Burlington Coca Cola. I got a call " take the spare truck with a load of Cokes to Siler City. Wound up staying there just about a year. Got to know Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, when I went every week to deliver a couple of 5 gallon syrup cans. He would make me a burger just about every time I went. I try to make a few trips a year now when I can . They are probably the best burgers in N.C.
