Mama and Papa use to watch Hee Haw every Saturday night and the Grand Ole Opry and as a young child of 10 or 12 around 1970 I hated every damn minute 😢 I just turned 60 and it was Hog Heaven to this old Hillbilly now. Always good to return to your Roots, from Bloody Harland County Kentucky
Fairly sure thats the thing that got me into listening to his music. Its unreal. In some of his solo stuff you can hear what hes doing a lot clearer and then ya realise going up the neck in reverse isnt just to look cool. Btw, i tried doing that maneuver a few times and can never get it right. He wasn't a "good" banjo player from a precise point of view but if you listen to it with the intent of hearing the little run ups in his songs and the parts where he backs off a little hes probably the best at it. Rest in peace Stringbean. And wont forget his dear wife Estelle, may she also rest in peace. 2 very respectable people who tragically had their lives cut short by some scum. Those brown boys should have been left to rot in prison. 1 died, the other finally got his parole. A thing he did not deserve or earn
And...when he looks at Earl Scruggs and say's "I'm on fire' ,I think he is saying this is the best hammerclaw style he is gonna see so enjoy,and Grandpa Jones could get fire too,I think he is giving Earl the nod...Earl changed the banjo world with his 3 finger style and String had to to pass the torch,I want to mention Stanley Flatt,God Bless all thier soul's and good fishing! watch Grandpa Jones Mountain Dew vid,it's a Hoot! Then Foggy Mountain Breakdown!
He should have been left to rot in prison. Stringbean was taken from us far too soon. His friend and colleague grandpa jones was fairly broke up mentally afterwards. Video of him giving a tribute on hee haw shortly after the terrible event happened and you can hear it in his voice that he was deeply saddened at the time, nearly like he was recieving the news again and just didnt know how to process it
Hang On Chillen' is what dad say's when he punches the gas peddle in the old Chrysler and fly's down the wrong side of the road passin 5 cars (hang on children) aka:here we go,lol!

No one can out banjo a Hillbilly....
He sure could play that banjo. Makes it look easy. He'd play high up the neck to control the volume, free and effortless. He was a genius.

Soft comforting voice.
I can't believe they let the murderer out!
One died in prison the other spent 40 years. They,robbed but didn’t get the $5,000 cash inside his pants 👖
