Tom Saxton from WV took these videos. During the late 1980s and early 90's we all met at campouts and picked together. Andy was a man of many talents. .

This is so great to see Andy! I did not think anyone took a video of him before he passed away. Whoever wrote this , are you his son, or grandson. I may have met you I visited Andy in Hedgesville years ago. he called his style Melodic Banjo, he used all 5 fingers on the right hand , He played a tune for me he wrote called My Home In West Virginia,said it was in the Library of Congress. used to trade Ginsang , We played tunes out in the workshop . I am still playing the banjo he gave me

Andy used to visit with Raymond Fairchild some in the 70's and Raymond learned a lot of licks from Andy including the tune Custards last stand.
