I once bought a dbl LP called "Don McLean Live", in which he played a somewhat different version of this medley - done blowed me away!
Well, he's gone & done it again, right here!
There's even ANOTHER version on y/t, which has a postcard pic of a kitty playing banjo - that's yet another fantastic 'live' banjo medley by D-Mac, from 'way on back when I was just an impressionable young teen. He made an impression, boy - Mom called him "your friend" - in my dreams, all right!!!
Wonderful.

Nobody can make a banjo ring quite like Don McLean.

All these years I've loved Don's music I really didn't know he was a fellow Banjo Picker. Pick on my brother of the 5 String clan. 5stringpicker2

Look out Lindsey Buckingham...you are not the only one that can play with a lightning picking style and a falsetto voice!

Actually it's Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, and then Muleskinner. Wicked playing, didn't know he was that good on the banjo.

Many thanks for the correction, have adjusted the title. It used to mention Old Joe Clark on my copy of 'Solo' now you mention it. Cheers.

Yet one MORE thing that the typical 70's-singer-songwriter couldn't do. Mclean is in a category of his own.
