Great overview. Coming from the guitar to the tenor banjo (and recently, the plectrum), this is completely logical. Check out some of Harry Reser's work, such as "Lollypops" and "Crackerjack", and you'll hear (from the 1920s) the similarities between single string flatpack/tenor style and the way it has been developed from Don Reno through today on the five string. In fact, give a listen to "Feudin' Banjos" (the tune the more famous "Dueling Banjos" was taken from) to hear this in one tune, with Don Reno on the five string tracking licks with Arthur Smith on tenor.
