@Banjerman07 Thanks for the info. You cleared all that up. Don use to play in my hometown regularly and he was not only an innovative banjo player with licks all his own, but was a very nice guy and would speak to anybody. Don, Earl and Ralph Stanley must have crossed paths often back in the late 40's, 50's and early 60's as Don told us in the 1960's that Ralph and Earl are two of his best friends and he really enjoys their company. I like J. D. Crowe too but he's a little too much an Earl clone

@boblackey1 and yes, him and earl traded. thats how earl ended up with the granada and don got the RB-75

[Banjerman07]

@boblackey1 Some people call it a RB-3, but it was in fact a RB-75. Its a cousin to J.D Crowes RB-75.

@Banjerman07 Don told us fans back in the 60's that in the 1940's he had a Granada(is that what it is called?) that Snuffy Jenkins once played and Earl Scruggs had been after him to let him have the banjo for several years and finally in Bristol, Tenn in 1948, Scruggs was playing a banjo that Don actually liked so he finally let Earl talk him into trading banjos. You think the RB-75 is the banjo Don got from Scruggs?

@TruegrassBoy Kind of funny, how southrons preserved a hair-feature named after a yankee general.

Hey! Them sideburns are awesome! Go get 'em Tennessee Cutups!

[Banjerman07]

Dons was a RB-75, though the 3's and 75's look so alike

I have played one of those stellings, the one Don Wayne has...

I agree about Hayseed Dixie, what the hell happened?

You're drifting too far from the shore, from the shore.... come back to Tennessee!

I guess they are having lots of fun in Europe anyways....

Happy Birthday Don Wayne...(46)

My name is John and I was at the Reno Revival in 1995...anyone out there remember me?

Brings me back to the golden daze of the 70's and early 80's when my dear old Dad, Donald Kissil of Morristown, NJ would produce various BG concerts in and around the NJ area. To be a scrawny ass youngin and have gr8 artists like these guys sleeping in your home the night before and jammin in the living room till the small hours were experiences that I treasure for my lifetime. Thanks RenoPicker :D
