These classics from Andy Griffith!
What's your favorite banjo scene from the movies or cartoons?
Do you think ol’ Earl ever thought “If I have to play FMBD one more time I’m going to smash this banjo.”?
LMAO! Yep, I have wondered that! I imagine after a while, though, he just rolled with it. GET IT?
Don’t know, but Rod Stewart’s has stated that his favorite song was Maggie May, and by far his favorite to perform at every single concert he ever did.
How the Tom and Jerry cartoon “Froggy Went Courtin, He did Ride” “Crambone”! He kept pulling out one of Toms’ whiskers everytime he broke a banjo string.
Uncle Pecos played guitar in “Crambone”
“Ya know durn well I can’t play without a g-g-geetar string!”
I don’t know @Mark_Rocka, he sure looks like he’s still having a heap of fun here.
(But not near as much fun as Paul Shaffer on that piano!)
That’s the exact video I practice FMBD to. I guess as long as he’s still making money at it, why not?
I knew Earl, Steve, Marty , Vince, Paul, can anybody name some of the other?
To add, I was so impressed by this video, I had to watch it a couple of times. Which leads me to a question I hope does not sound foolish.
These guys are playing at probably the top of their game. Are this a song any advanced musician can handle, regardless of their instrument?
For example, fiddle wood comes to mind. Could you play this quite easily?
Jack
Can I play it? yes on all the instruments i play to different degrees

Hah, heres a classic! The Marx Brothers play banjo in their classic movie Duck Soup! Banjo starts at 1:37…
Albert Lee… wowsers.
What about Steve Martin? No pressure… it’s just FMB with Earl.
Fun video.
I don’t know about you guys, but I just found the next modification to MY banjo!!
I Love a happy ending… gets me all choked up! (sniff sniff)
That’ll be a Recording King Springfield .58 calibre banjo
I think there’s room for a flame thrower in a dreadnought. Hmmmmmm…
