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 |
