text:
James "Dink" Roberts was an American old-time banjo player. His performances, which were recorded in the 1970s by folklorists, illustrate a style of playing that pre-dates the blues. Born in Chatham County, North Carolina, Roberts learned the artistry of the banjo from local black musicians—particularly Mince Phillips who was a close friend Roberts sometimes performed with—active in the corresponding Alamance County. As a young adult, Roberts worked as a tenant farmer, and became well-respected
