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.
What's your favorite banjo scene from the movies or cartoons?
Uncle Pecos played guitar in “Crambone”

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?

Can I play it? yes on all the instruments i play to different degrees
