I was amused, when at the Maryland Banjo Academy this last weekend, at a concert with about a dozen banjo virtuosi performing, called "The World of Clawhammer", to hear Bob Carlin, a highly respected banjo player of the old-time persuasion, playing a boomy, bassy fretless banjo(a "folk instrument" if there ever was one), playing and singing a Beatles song, "He Said, She Said". A laff riot, as they say, and a crowd pleaser!
