I have two LPs of Clyde playing the banjo while W. L. Gregory plays fiddle. I also have a tape Jim Nelson made of Clyde at home with a lot of banjo on it. I think Clyde's banjo version of "The Old Cow Died on the Fork of the Branch" is on one of his recordings.

Clyde said that he once played this tune when his wife was in the audience. Somebody dedicated it to her as a joke, and, after that, she wouldn't come to see him play. I don't know if it's true, but it's a good story.

Do you have any videos of Clyde playing banjo? If he plays it half as well as he does the fiddle, then the world needs to hear...

We need more videos of Clyde playing he is fun to watch and learn from.
