The first recorder (a tenor) I remember hearing was played by Pete Seeger. I caused my to go out an buy one a couple of eons ago. I learned to play Greensleeves and then quickly lost interest.

I was glad to see someone (Big Jim from Jackson) talk about the women who played banjo on Hee Haw. Ronnie Stoneman was a better banjo player than Roy Clark but all they ever let her do was stand at an ironing board in a house coat and curlers.

And what about Little Neo, AKA Banjo Bonnie? She turned out to be a fine banjo player.

And why is everyone so interested in great big guys with teeny little instruments?
