Bill Keith is one of my favorite players of melodic-style banjo. Eric Weissberg is one fine melodic-style banjo player also. The work he did on the Deliverance album is hard to beat!
@@josephanderson7237 Yes thats it...! It has also come out that Arthur Smith did not compose feudin banjos. Arthur got the tune from his piano player multi instrumentalist Harry S Turner of the Crackerjacks. Arthur wrongly took Harry's tune " Duelling strings ". Harry was illiterate and not knowledgeable enough about legal rights that he never challenged Arthur about the tune. Erics melodic genius and blended banjo chord changes is due all the credit for Duelling banjos.
Since Bill was in large measure inspired by Earl and learned much of the Scruggs technique and repertoire, you, as one inspired by Bill, are very much a musical child of Earl Scruggs.
The Man was phenomenal!

Im pretty sure Bill was inspired by Erics melodic playing an interview somewhere mentioned he first heard Eric play melodic at an evening gig.
In Melodic Banjo book Trischka.

The man who made me attracted in banjo playing : Bill Keith, not Earl Scruggs.
