      Yes, in modern bluegrass everyone is impressed with the banjo for some reason. Meanwhile, fiddlers have the most difficult job.

      You can't actually. Blowing on it is useless. It would work the same if you just took the cartridge out and then put it back in again. In fact blowing on it makes it worse because of the saliva, so it can degrade faster.

      Stereotypes from people who probably use phrases like “people of color,” “White Privilege,” etc, etc.
      And of course no one cares when an a show business elitist think exploiting children so the Walton family, and their puppets like Hillary and Bill Clinton and get themselves power and wealth by pretending they give a rats ass about working underdogs, is appropriate material for his monologue.
      People in “fly over country,” have watched since the 1960s while their communities have been destroyed by the money changers and their Congressional, Judicial, and Executive Branch Minions forced workers to train foreign workers to do their jobs, closed their plants, crated the equipment inside,and shipped anywhere they could to get beyond the reach of fair labor laws, safety rules and regulations, pollution controls, and pensions. Then they turned around and sold the often substandard merch (because uneducated barefoot 9 year olds who work 66 hours a week, week in and week out, they just don’t know how to produce the quality.
      So go ahead and mock fly over country, and Trump supporters who want manufacturing of America needs.*•

    • @oldcremona
      @oldcremona 5 ปีที่แล้ว +153

      The composer of the tune, Earl Scruggs, had what we call "cam-tuners" which were placed between the regular tuners and bent the strings behind the nut to provide the effect. The young man in the video is using a 1960's invention of banjoist Bill Keith which enables the banjoist to manipulate the tuners with stops at pre-selected intervals.

    I taught myself Flint Hill Special 58 years ago (when I was 12) by slowing down a Flatt and Scruggs album to 16 RPM on an old record player. I didn't have the tuner gizmo, so I did it on the fretboard. I never mastered the tune, but then again, I never mastered the 5-string. But, I still play it to this day. This kid would plays in Sleepy Man Banjo Boys out of NJ and is still ripping it. We haven't heard the last of the Mizzone Brothers.

    These are the Mizzone brothers from New Jersey of all places! On Banjo nine-year-old Johnny, on fiddle twelve-year-old Robbie, and On guitar 14 year old Tommy! Yep, New Jersey's a little out-of-the-way for Bluegrass, but these brothers do it very well! Robbie said that Johnny started the song too Fast and the other brothers had to really play to keep up on this appearance. They are older now of course and they changed the name of the band to just Sleepy Man!
