Hi. This is the big ugly bass player in this video LOL....... The band consists of Ed James on Banjo, John Thatcher on Bass, Dennis James on Guitar and Donnie Mcrae on Mandolin. I love seeing the comments on Ed's playing. I am truly blessed to be able to pick with such a great person. I have been picking for 2 years and was a beginner when I met Ed. My son, John Jr. has now joined our band as the full time guitar picker. We are working on Dueling Banjos with John. Thanks for posting.
I can tell the difference for sure with the acoustics from the other video. Again fantastic musicianship..yeefreakinhaw! The best groups of players seem to always be the regular folk who know one's heard of. Thanks for the video!
Just some local guys who always play at a monthly bluegrass venue. The group's name is Southern Cross. The guy on the banjo is a mechanic but is the best banjo player I've ever seen. He does a lot of really different stuff which isn't all shown in this clip. Unfortunately, the acoustics in this are horrible. The hall is all block and tile.
Hello friends
Really good with the banjo.
The accompaniment of other instruments is fabulous.
I liked the name of the band, The Southern Cross.
Here in Argentina, the gauchos on the pampas were guided huge night with the Southern Cross in the old days when herding cattle.
It is formed by four stars, and the longitudinal axis marks the north.
A big hug and greetings from Buenos Aires, Jose Luis.
God bless.
