  • Once, while sitting backstage at the Ryman with June and Stringbean, she was talking about how String was teaching her "drop thumb" style. She said she had John Henry down, but was to shy to play it for anyone. She came by playin' the five string naturally. RIP Carters. You were country music classics.

  • I love it! This, I would figure, is a rare recording.

  • Yay! Some 5 string pickin' by Mother Maybelle! :D
