im from nashville and i remember my parents talking about how great he was because they used to go to the grand ole opry all the time...a real gem..thanks
you should check out the album here ua-cam.com/video/atXPTEtICIQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LivinTheBlues there's another banjo song on it along with guitar and harmonica
Actually he was the absolute first member of the grand ole opry, he was a member before they were even called members and before it was even called the grand ole opry, it was called WSM barn dance in those early days.
@@livintheblues202 It makes it so different bnecause he is playing the top string with his thumb, and picking the fifth string with his second or first finger, the opposite of normal 2 or 3 finger picking
Wow unbelievable livingTheBlues you made it clear to me that you got the music from its root and guess what I can't do nothing but agree with you🎼🎙🎵🎶🪕👏👏👏👏

Sounds a bit like "Old Dog Blue". I love it, thanks for posting
He was the first black man to play the Grand ole Opry in Nashville. The Solemn old Judge honored his presence.

I love his Banjo Playing!!
hes playing its upside down too because hes left handed . which makes it even more incredible

@@writerrad ya its pretty incredible
@@livintheblues202 and his harmonica playing is out of this world!!
Great recording, thanks for sharing.
I think I have a whole CD of him playing the banjo.
really id love to hear that
@@livintheblues202 I was incorrect. There are two banjo tunes on the 1998 CDC, including this one, four guitar tunes, and the remainder are harmonica.
Left handed and upside down playing? So cool.
Elizabeth Cotten (1895-1987) also did. Cotten-picking style.
When was this recorded?
i believe October or February of 1974
