    I've had this video for almost 20 years. It's been put up for years but the news of JD's death prompted me to dig it out and watch it again. I felt l should post it for others to see. I'm sure many will enjoy as much as I did the first time I watched it. This was 3 long time friends just sitting around doing things bluegrass buddies tend to do. Learn a lick or maybe some backup for your next jam or band practice. That would be the best way honor JD, I think. Rest in Peace.

      I have watched this great video many times now. Among other things I am getting , as you mention , that by closely watching J Ds left hand , and with an intermediate experience picking 5 string - it is a great lesson in back up licks etc. Get out your banjo and copy his moves . pause and go for it . No TAB required. RIP J D Crowe..

Harley Allen and Mike Lilly do a wonderful rendition of it. The banjo break Mike Lilly takes will blow you away. Mostly all chopping with chords up and down the neck.

    I got to know JD through Ricky Wasson while recording a project in Ricky's studio just a few years ago. JD was a fine person. He was a big Andy Griffith fan. We got to talking and laughing about the Ernest T Bass episodes. He loved those things. The world lost a great treasure. He was one of the greatest banjo players that lived. I just hope that this new generation holds up his tradition.

      @@47Banjoman Some years ago I saw an interview with J. D. and he discussed how he so taken with Earl Scruggs when he was a youngster J. D. wanted everything just like Earl does it including the banjo strap over the right shoulder which must be part of Earl's sound and tone. When he was some older J. D. got to travel around with Flatt and Scruggs and found out the only reason Earl wore his strap over his right shoulder is so he didn't have to take his hat off when he switched to guitar and later back to banjo:) I just found out J. D. had passed away today. J. D. was one of the absolute best!!

      RonBlockAKUS, Thanks Ron, I'm glad to have been able to post it. I was extremely lucky to get a copy. My old friend that had it, guarded it and thought JD would get mad at him if he let a copy get out. And the only reason he let me have a copy was as a favor for converting his VHS to DVD. -And I had begged and begged :). After 18 or 19 years my friend died and then less than a year later, JD followed him on to Glory. Well, at that point, I figured I had sufficiently kept my promise. I loved JD as a musician and I loved Jack Chaffins as a friend. Thanks so much for watching.

The name Frank Neat should speak for its self, Frank Neat hand crafted banjo maker and banjo repair guru. This video is absolute GOLD! 3 amazing banjo players in a room togethor all cutting up and making bluegrass memories!

      I would encourage you to. I have quite a bit of festival footage still on VHS that was stored in a garage that unfortunately was subject to high humidity and there is a white mold on the tapes. I'm going through the process of cleaning them, which requires a sacrificial donor VCR that you take the cover off of and use a soft cloth to physically clean the tape as it fast forwards and rewinds. My trouble has been finding VCRs that will work. The last two have bought have quit working just days after I started using them.

    This video proves even farther, J.D. never got casual with that banjo. He did his finest always.

    The way JD worked his right hand position constantly looking for the sweet spot is amazing.

    Superb banjo work, and the singer sounds about as much like Lester Flatt
    as Lester did

      ​@@nippynf4l831 Tom Mckinney- maker of the Mckinney/Elliott guitar/banjo capo. Tom was a incredible banjo player also, he played a near replica style of earl scruggs picking. Also amazing banjo setup man, he setup 3 of my banjos!

    The thing we can’t really hear here is the volume. Most likely the mic isn’t picking up all the difference in the volume which I can imagine that banjo with him playing it in that room musta have been HUGE.
