OMG... This is a blast from the past. I was working on the ship when this was filmed. It was nice to Danny the assistant cruise director after all of these years and Morry if you ever check this Chriss from the gift shop was here says hello!
Todd Taylor does 210 beats per minute and Morry can do 280 or more per minute....he should call to beat the world record...The metronome couldnt keep up...hahahahaha...take my word I know...
this bloke ain't got nuthin on T. First start, he is strumming tenor. No offense but don't take him to Kentucky. I know 75yo gits that blow him outta the H2O. Done.
I don't hear the banjo played with that kind of music much these days. Usually it sticks to bluegrass.
Fastest or not, that was a damn good performance. Those in the audience really got their money's worth.

I appreciate the effort, but the whole "worlds fastest" thing is garbage. I`m glad that Scruggs or Reno never went that route.

Just kidding. I'm Just more partial to Bluegrass style over RiverBoat.

I'd like to see how fast he was playing a banjo roll instead of strumming it. he plays banjo more like it's a eukele .

very beautiful clear banjoplaying!
Incredible!
But the outfit is definitiv a miss.
I like his concentrate style, a suit would be a better combination.

it could also be that "worlds fastest banjo player" is a title for him and he never tried to set a world record for it.

He is in the world guiness book of records 2009! What you talking about?

Morry plays a 4-string tenor banjo, Todd plays a 5-string bluegrass banjo. They are used with totally different techniques and playing styles.

If Morry Coleman is the worlds fastest banjo player, why does Todd Taylor hold the world record for it?

@fxe1200 I don't care who holds the record, no one is faster than Jens Kreuger.
