3 boys - Sleepy Man Banjo Boys

A nine-year-old banjo player with his older brothers were the last act on the Letterman show tonight (June 28, 2011). They call themselves the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, because, according to the older brother, the banjo was so heavy for the littlest one that he used to lie back on his bed playing banjo with the instrument on top of him with his eyes closed.

As more information comes up, they might be fun to follow. They were very good!

They're on YouTube. This is just one example. They were real little in this one.

This is closer to how they looked and sounded on Letterman.

Eight year later and they've grown up! I seem to be revisiting old threads this evening.
