@tallskinnypunk The kid was really a student at a local school with great guitar skills. He's not impaired at all really, there was a lot of makeup used, although he does look a bit 'out there' in reality.
@fajitaboys totally not true, this kid was written in the book, so it wasn't a spur of the moment thing. He was actually a jr. high school kid they made up to look like an inbred. He's a hell of a banjo player.
Yes, i know this, I grew up next door my later teens anyways, we use to go over there on sundays for lunch, called her grandma beasley, her first name is Leona, anyways at 3:13 she herself is looking out the window, I dont know who the other people are
He does actually play, and still does today, though the other posters are correct, Eric Weissburg and Steve Mandell recorded it. But it was written by Arthur Smith years ago.
Yes, he does actually play. Still does today, too. Saw a pic of him online somewhere today, still looks pretty much the same. But that is not him playing the song heard, Weissburg and Mandell recorded it for the movie.
This is great scene... The movie is one for the books... You have to see it to believe it!!! It is good, just...well watch it for yourself... It is for Adults... Thank you for posting. David

I read that they actually found that inbred kid near the set, and this was a coincidental scene.

Correction, Billy Redden doesn't really play, but I saw a pic of him and assumed he did; he was holding a banjo in the pic.
