Tha master himself who had such influence on the music and the legends he attracted to his side, not only with his banjo , also with a fine baritone voice and incredible talent for selecting songs to adapt. My thoughts and thanks to his family and friends. He had an influence on the music in my life I remain grateful for over the many decades of enjoyment and pure love for the music.
How fortunate we are that ETSU did this and left this to us. J.D. was great in so many ways. And thanks to Jerry Keys for this. He is a great banjo player whose tone, timing, and taste are 2nd to none.
I met JD , twice , and he was everything I hoped he’d be!! He was soo kind and just amazing !! My heart and ears weep for Crowe and his “claw”!! RIP JDC!!
I met JD at one of John Lawless Banjo weekends in Roanoke. He was very approachable and kind. I passed along a hello from Phil Trump (Lebanon,PA). His eyes got bright and he ask "How is Phil doing?" I said well. However, although Phil is a banjo player, what JD told me is that he and Phil got together over CARS! JD and Phil were into cars and that was the basis of their friendship. It made me stop and acknowledge that we have other sides to our life - so did JD!
I am glad a friend of mine, to whom I had loaned a custom built banjo by Dave Kennedy after he left Gibson as engineer of their banjo Dept, took it for JD to play. JD had remarked that all good banjos were Brass and never Stainless Steel. He liked it so well I have a JD Crowe Signed Kennedy Banjo!
I guess after playing several hours every day for 70 years, I'd be tired of it too. Retired means time to relax. Sonny didn't play much in his last year's either. I'm pretty sure Doc Watson kept on pickin til the end though. Not sure about Earl.
