In 1965 I was only 1 year old but already loved Bluegrass and the great sounds of banjo !!

For any of you who might know who Carlton Haney is there is a group on Facebook called 'Carlton Haney's Bluegrass Festival'. It is an open forum where pictures, videos, comments, conversations, etc. are posted about this era of bluegrass. Just a heads up.

@TruegrassBoy Don't think it was Vernon (Junior) McIntyre as he would have still been playing at the Ken Mill in Cincinnati, OH. He did play banjo for Martin sometime after that.
