Saw Sonny and Bobby perform as well as Bill Monroe, Seldon Scene, Johnson Mountain Boys, Stanley Bros., among many many others, at Berkshire Mountain Blue Grass Festivals late 70's early 80's at Rothross farm, Acromdale, Ny.
What is Sonny playing ? It's neither a 5 string banjo nor a recognisable "guitar". He appears to be playing it with conventional 5 string banjo style/fingering.
Amazing to hear Bobby singing the Jesus out of “bluegrass melody”” I mean perfection and then you have the leader master Sonny just absolutely butchering the song with that goofy ass bullshit banjo backup. He couldn’t pack JD the follower Crowe’s case from my couch to the front door
Great musicians and wonderful music! Thanks for posting and I´m sending big hello from Czech Republic, Central Europe! 😊
Great musicians for a great show! Thank you for posting that video.

Sonny, a no match for Duffey....Sonny equal and better than Eldridge, Both greats! Did I mention Joe Val, and the New England Blue Grass Boys?

It's Sonny's "gitjo". Five string neck on a guitar body.
