Thanks for posting, I recently got a banjo and threw research found about the Akonting! I taught myself to play a bamboo flute with youtube help, now on to the Akonting/Banjo!

Correct. It was Daniel I found living 5 miles from my home in Stockholm fall 2000. I brought Daniel to 2000 annual meeting in Boston that fall thus presenting him to the banjo world.

Why did you take what I said as "hostile"? Did I shout or say it with an angry face? I'm just saying that given historical events, it seems obvious to me.
Chill.
