Elmer Bird - The Banjo Man From Turkey Creek
It`s been a while since I posted some good old-time banjo. This is some very hard driving, rhythmic style claw hammer picking. He played what I tend to call the Tennessee style claw hammer banjo, which is more rhythmic than the North Carolina style, which tries to match the same notes as the fiddle, note for note. Mr. Bird had a VERY hard driving style. Listen and enjoy!

Can`t argue with that comment!!
DeleteI'll have to get back into this, I keep finding comments for myself that I don't ever recall making, but I still agree with them. I don't remember downloading some of these albums, were they able to be played directly from the website at one time? I'm certainly glad they're still around, I might also be confusing blogspot with blogger, which I do think is defunct at this point. Glad to see you're still posting :-) and thank heavens the material is still up.
