Ray Fairchild, one of my favorite banjo players. Now, a couple years later I have changed my opinion. Raymond is the best banjo picker ever.

Our family arrived in America in 1741. Cass is from our line that went to Western Carolina, later became Tennessee. His ancestors were closely related to Col. John Servier
