- Nat Piccirilli is a 92-year old Rhode Island musician. He plays guitar, violin, mandolin and banjo. He's also an accomplished winemaker, gardner and golfer. Nat's been married to his wife Frances for over 66 years. He's played with Bob Hope and actor Jack Lemmon, to name just a few. He's played for President George Bush at his home in Maine and continues to play as a member of The Aristocats, entertaining Rhode Islanders for years. Nat is a Rhode Island treasure and we were thrilled to sit down and speak with him about his music.

He turned 100 this year April 2, 2020.
Thank you for making this awesome video of my grandfather! He's a fantastic person and truly talented. I hope to be as blessed as him in his love of life and his love of music.
sidereus7 He's your grandfather? You can really be proud of him. I hope I'll learn how to play a banjo like him one day too.
What is the MSU connection? I live near East Lansing and teach there. Thanks you for the video.
We stayed next door to your grandfather in Myrtle Beach..What an amazing man..You must be very proud...
Chicago-tuning: DGBE, for those interested. Same as the geetar, without the E and A.
what an inspiration. great film and what an honor to see him play that banjo.
bravo
these guys were not always on time, but still spectacular.
I love this. Time machine back to a simpler time.
Uncle Nat....one of a kind!!!!!!!
Super performance!! Thank you for your service too!!
What a Inspiration to us all! Godspeed
At 0:48 i spy with my little eye a pioneer sx-424 mini stereo reciever on the top shelf to the right, ahh yes, back when things were made to last. Not only was he a great musician, but knew good hifi gear as well.
Thank you for this this is so inspirational I hope I can play half that good when and if I get 92
Fantastic and you make it look like so much fun thanks for sharing that
Loved this! - Thank you. Very inspiring to this aging musician and artist. I might have to find some banjo
resonators to paint up!
Wonderful job, Nat!
I love Italian Americans and Vega banjos, that make me happy, so I tell you: Yeaaaah, great youngster !!
A brilliant performance
Have a Vega Style N in excellent condition.....Time to dust it off and practice (am only 74, so there's time left...)
Fantastic musical performance !
Absolute Gems of Humanity
magnificent!
WONDERFUL, GO NAT GO
makes me want to tune mine up again
An American treasure!
Uber inspirational!!
Lyfts your spirits, huh?
This man is the les paul of the banjo.
great video
Great ! I'm afraid I'll have to play the harp at that age...
I know a magnificent 5 string player named Piccirilli.
Yeah!
I'm sad to state that he passed in February of 2021. You can find his obituary on Google.
WOW
Kind of like Jed Clampett groving to Django!
Albama jubilee?
This guy is now 100. I think?
I live in Rhode Island. What would it take to meet this man?
Really enjoyed hearing you play. Fantastic. Do you play much five string banjo? I see a Vega Whyte Laydie five string leaning against the wall.
Weird that he marked his 9th. Wonder if he marks his 10th on guitar to keep them consistent.
Django on the banjo
Django Reinhardt was his favorite!! He would've been very flattered to hear that comparison.
They don’t make things like that for the common man in America anymore
Bass player looks like Bernie Sanders.
what a great hairline
