Subject: RE: your favourite banjo player
Some greats already mentioned. There are others. Look up Roger Sprung and listen to him. He's pretty darn good. Also a fella (last)name of Barnes, used to be in Austin, Tx., then moved to Seattle. Did soooo terrific on old-timey; did the music for a movie about some robbers in Texas (who only stole out-of-state) and were related. I hear he moved more into jazz after going to Seattle. Also a guy who used to work around Austin in a group called the LOST AUSTIN BAND, name of John Clay. They did some records. Barnes worked with a group called BARNBURNERS and they have some recordings. Sprung's group (name escapes me right now) also did some recordings.      Tw
