The Alan Lomax Archive just released some video's of Tommy Jarrell playing banjo and they are incredible. I've always liked Tommy's banjo playing (love his fiddle playing), and these 2 video's are fantastic, you don't get to see Tommy playing the banjo much...this is the way CH banjo should sound, no clucks, no mutes, no scoop and a strong downbeat. Compare this playing with the earlier thread I started showing Dink Roberts and Lucius Smith...very interesting...Alan Lomax Archive please post more of these amazing videos by these artists...thanks in advance!!!!
