The best banjo picker ever --- Bobby Thompson (wearing the brown hat).

The other banjo pickers are Roy Clark ----- still alive;

Dave Akeman (Stringbean) --- murdered in 1973, at age 58;

Grandpa Jones --- Died of a stroke in 1998 at age 85;

Bobby --- finally succumbed to MS in 2005, at age 68.

This ones for my Dad. I just got back from his 91st birthday and he's still the biggest kid I know and always has been

He still has the enthusiasm of a 10 year old and still holds the wide eyed wonder of a child ---when its all stirred in with the wisdom of age it makes it quite a combination. I count myself as being very lucky

Every line in this song exemplifies him.

[excathedra]

thank you mstar and happy birthday dad

you are so lucky to have him and vice versa

all my love,

ex

[DontWorryBeHappy]

as usual, typically fabulous posts by great artists, from two of the usual song-of-the-moment's suspects!........thanks fellers!........here's one of my favorite taj tunes............

[DontWorryBeHappy]

another one by taj.........from one of his best, and most influential albums............

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMeKlDnOSt4#

[DontWorryBeHappy]

can't find taj's version of this old blues standard........which, imo, is the best, and definitely the one that forever popularized the tune..........this version, of all the ones i saw, comes closest to taj's original vocal version, and the backup band includes booker t and the mg's, matt "guitar" murphy, and the famous horn section.........the harp's not too bad waysider, but it sure ain't ni l'il walter!..........
