From 1980-1984 Pat Terry, Jr., with the able assistance of his wife, Judy, and Assistant Editors, Randy Morris and Van Gilbert, published INTERNATIONAL BANJO magazine. The publication featured interviews, articles, news and music for all styles of banjo, Tenor, Plectrum, and 5-string. Here are a few excerpts from its pages... The above "Page from the Past" is not an advertisement. It is strictly presented for its educational and entertainment value.
Every issue of INTERNATIONAL BANJO magazine has music written for all banjo styles. Many have songs written for tenor, plectrum and guitar-tuned banjos on the same sheet. We call it the "Tri-Chord System". Try the music below. You Elvis fans will recognize that his hit, "Love Me Tender" was almost entirely taken from this very, very old traditional tune, "Aura Lee".
