Master fiddler Art Stamper picking the banjo at Cowan Creek Mountain Music School in Letcher Co KY - 2003 for Jimmy McCown another master oldtime musician.
The gentleman peering over Mr. Stamper appears to be Jimmy McCown, a fabulous fiddler and banjo player himself! I think I heard John Harrod in the background somewhere, also. Great history!
he learned his playing from his father hiram stamper...my great grandfather RIP

Holy cow, you have here a banjo lesson from Art Stamper. What a piece of history for the rest of us to enjoy. 5*****

I can't figure out if he's doing clawhammer (downpicking) with his index and middle fingers, or whether this is a kind of 2- or 3-finger style.

Art was a nice fellow... one time he came out and fiddled with me on open stage at Clay City Ky. I'll never forget that.
