  • These men were my uncle Aime Lemire, my grandfather, Alfred Lemire and my father, Raymond Lemire. They were not twins. My father started playing professionally at the age of 8. This video was made into a newsreel promoting the "biggest banjo in the world" in the mid 1920's.

  • Nice music anyone with the same name as these guys should be proud his ancestors were so talented!

  • That's the second biggest banjo I've ever seen!

  • Hi all, This might sound like a stupid question!!! Was the large banjo a "one-off" instrument! I have never seen any thing like it before. Music is great and a rare gem.
