I don't quite understand why a lot of banjo players have to play lead and hammer rolls while the lead singer is singing. Guess I was brought up different.
i didn't think i would say anything about this but i guess i have to do it now! jimmy is being jimmy...he is not being an ass...he is being himself...cia might not at the time have heard the kick to this...refer to alan, kenny, jd or any of jimmys banjo players...i laughed and was abit taken back when i saw this...but they "cherryholmes" jumped in and played with and delt with one of the legends...i wish i could have been that lucky
@plindjr123456 Yes, I've been playing banjo since 1977. The group I'm playing with right now does this song, and I'm qualified to make the observation about Cia's playing here. Somehow I suspect that she's learned how to play this song since then. Her playing here isn't that bad... it's just not right for this song. If you look, you'll find a video here of Jimmy singing the song with ace banjo player Alan Munde mashin' the 5, pickin' it straight.
Those guitar runs of Jimmy Martin really make that song. And nice job by those kids...you can tell by Jimmy's smiles that he's getting a kick out of playing with those kids!
gosh ithought the king of bluegrass was bill monroe or the louvin brothers just an opinion
