The banjo player is my father. His passion was to always play the banjo. There is not a bluegrass player out there that cares more about that music than he. My dad lives, breathes and sweats bluegrass music. It is not a hobby for him. It is his life. He's has probably played all night bluegrass jams longer than most of the people reading this have been alive. Personally I never really took to bluegrass music. But there is no better banjo player in the world than Billy Lee Cox. My Dad.
I can not believe this video is still out in cyber space..I had to miss cabin fever last year ..we got snowed in up here in Flintstone,Md.. my wife and i hope to make it this year...it is always a great pleasure to play with Billy Lee ..great musician and friend....
THAT banjo player is self-taught and has won national banjo contests...and yes, does work as a janitor to pay the rent so he can go out on week-ends to do what he loves best....play that banjo! And proud to say he is my cousin who used to tease me to death by playing country music to me. But a really great guy!!!
I was playing the harp that night,was around 2am ,all of us had been playing all day,Billy Lee played so fresh and clean,as all ways...I was worn out by that time...had to stop and get some sleep...
Mr. Cox (my cousin) works at a non-stress job to pay the bills so he can do what he does best...play that banjo!!!!! He is self-taught AND has won national banjo contests. His band is also going to be heading to Ireland to play. Might want to get to know him, he may be really famous sometime. Also, ask him to play, "Salty Dog" like he used to.
Those are some fine musicians, i like his verson on the banjo, its good, and the harmonic player just flat out burnt it up

It was a jam session. Every one was welcome. And the harp player is a genuinely good soul as well as a solid musician.

What is it about School janitors? They seem to make the best jammers- Kenny in San Diego , a primo bass player!
