The banjo seems to be going through another Renaissance. People are rediscovering the music, the rich history, & the cultural significance of the instrument.
When the early Opry stars toured, Deford Bailey was denied hotel accommodations because of his race. Uncle Dave stepped in and said that Deford would be staying with him as his "valet". Deford stayed with Uncle Dave.
Fact that a black man actually enjoys this type of music makes me happy

Awesome! Hubby, a pioneer and historian of American folk helping reclaim history. Big fan.
He does it really well. Hope he does more Uncle Dave tunes.
That's a great version--well played with great tone, and fine singing.
Love Uncle Dave, you did him well thank you.
Spectacular! Wonderful clawhammer style and a vice to match!
Wow! Can’t be done better than that!
Fantastic performance!
Excellent! Traditional African-American music!
I hear the Celtic influence there as well
