But at the same time, lots of ballads were still about castles and royalty, lords and ladies, stuff like that, which is what they were about originally.

Okay. And was that some sort of banjo I saw on stage during the performance?

Did you know that banjos are of African-American origin and that settlers in Appalachia adopted banjos for their folk music?
