Sleepy Man Flint Hill Special, 10 Years Later

  • Hey guys, Jonny here! Exactly 10 years ago, my brothers and I released a video jamming to the classic bluegrass song Flint Hill Special. I was 8, Robbie was 12, and Tommy was 13. Little did we know how much that video would change the course of our lives over the next decade. We thought it would be a blast to release the same jam 10 years later. Hope you enjoy!

    Every time I hear a banjo it brings back a fond memory . I've been a musician for 34 years and I was a heavy metal guitarist in my youth but I studied classical and play many styles . One time me and all my metal head friends were in Gatlinburg TN. and we were hiking and came across this old fellow playing the banjo on the porch of his cabin . I immediately pulled out my guitar and started playing dueling banjo guitar parts and he jumped right in . We ended up drinking a bunch of moonshine and slept right there .What a blast we had .

      My piano was destroyed in the fires of Cali but I still have my banjo and my husbands got his guitars and now you have just inspired me to bring my banjo out to this fifth wheel trailer were living in north Idaho and perk up the air in here!
