Hate I didn't live closer to Raymond. Banjo is my favorite instrument and he was definitely one of the best every. Felt like I was filming the master too. Wish I'd had my tripod that day. Never dreamed I'd be able to film a legend like Raymond. What an honor that I'll never forget. JD Crowe is another of my favorites. Both were kind enough to allow me to film and even talked for a while. Treasured memories.
Marine'72 I’ve seen ‘ol Raymond several times, and the only time I remember him smiling, was when he was talking about and selling me some of his Moonshine Jelly...a little harsher than his playing;) Part of the Maggie Valley/Cherokee mystique!
I didn't appreciate growing up around this man until it was too late. Thank God i got to know him and even be on stage a time or two.
My husband and I saw him everything we went to mountain always great show he was a very nice man
No body can play this song like Raymond , he is the best ,Just love to listen to him play the banjo Thank you for posting , Canada

I miss you buddy! "Charlie "Gary Justice

Wow, he cracked a smile! I don't think I've ever seen Raymond change his facial expression while playing! =O
They used this footage for tourism in Maggie Valley maybe that's why.
that's exactly what i was thinking, never seen anything besides that one face ge always makes
My neighbor plaid this tune a lot ~ I'll be glad when we can still play on the porch. (G&
the master lives on
The best that's ever been............................
