One of my buddies told me a story once that he and his son was camping in one of the hollows in West Virginia. I guy stop by, he said he was homeless and just camped in the woods. He said he was a very nice person. Now my buddy had his 5 string banjo. He is a world class picker and performed at the Opry.   My friend said this guy asked if he could pick a song and my friend said sure. The guy reached in his pocket and took out finger picks for all 5 FINGERS !!   My buddy said he never heard anyone play bluegrass that clean that fast or that good.

Amazing
