.....here's an interesting note:



"Let me clear this up.... That story of Dueling Banjos, the fatasy version.... is just that... fantasy! There is no truth whatsoever to it. The scene was scripted... we rehearsed it for days and then spent the better part of a week filming it. Billy Joe Redden could not play the banjo... that was music magic. The song was played by Eric Weisberg and Steve Mandel. That's the truth!!!"
