yes.... that Duane Eddy !!!

Watched the 1961 Western "A Thunder of Drums" on the weekend..

Literally in the background - strumming guitar during the whisky guzzling 'comic relief' scenes.

Then came the surprise - a party scene where Duane Eddy picked a pretty good banjo tune !!!???

Google lead to me then discovering his 1960 LP "Songs of Our Heritage"


... and here it is if you fancy a listen....
