Legendary banjo player Raymond Fairchild passed away on October 13, 2019. This tribute was shot on June 7, 2019 at Raymond's "second home," the Maggie Valley Opry House in Maggie Valley, NC.
I was honored at each visit to be ask by Raymond to the stage to sing his closing song Will the circle be unbroken. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW Jesus as your savior to be in that circle. Much love to all of Our bluegrass family and friends. Oldfirekeeper 61 Great Smokey Mountains N.C. Love you all
What a treasure to bluegrass music that Raymond was! God Bless his soul. I hope that he and Earle are Picking for Our Lord ! He as such a treasure. May he rest in eternal Peace. I’m lucky to have a CD to listen to as well as so many wonderful videos to watch. RIP Raymond 🤙🤙🤙
He taught my sister, Bren to play "Whoa Mule Whoa" in 1967. Awesome!
I wrote him once and he answered. It was clear he didn't have much education, but he was very intelligent. What a creative mind. He thought of stuff nobody else had thought of. I have a CD of him.
RIP Raymond!!! I'd been there 2 times to the Opry house and the man was amazing and he would talk to you like he knew you all his life he was good man God rest his soul!!.. he was the best picker that I'd ever seen!!
I met Raymond on my birthday, August 10th, in 2003. He played a tune for my birthday during the concert (my wife had asked him to). I still have a photo of him that he signed. He was a truly incredible banjo player, and I feel honoured to have met him.
Happy birthday!
He was so nice!!!! Played sloop great too!!!
I loved Raymond! I went to Maggie Valley and met Him. He played my Gibson and put His Signature on it. I didn't know He passed away in 2019
Good stuff fellers 👍🇺🇲✝️ thank you and God bless
He was one of the banjo greats ,may he rest in peace and play his banjo in the Grand Ole Opry in the sky
He not dead
Yes he is ,check the internet 🤷♂️
Rip Raymond. You’re the reason I started playing 5 string. I loved you then when he came down to visit many years ago. Still love you and no one will ever pick a banjo like you did .
We meet him once down at Bill Monroe camp ground. I always wish i would have purchased a quart of his wiskey and had him sign it and out on my desk just to remember him.
Love you guys! Greetings from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
I saw a VHS video of Mr. Fairchild about 25 years ago and He was telling a story about a lady that came up to him at a concert and said, "You ought to be ashamed with that snuff running down the sides of your mouth" And he said well lady who did these 10,000 people come to see you or me? It was all about the music. RIP Mr. Fairchild.
Oh my God! I didn't know he died! I'm just now seeing it here! He had a truly unique style that was a real pleasure to listen to.
He will be missed. Thankfully his music will keep him alive in spirit.
RIP, Raymond Fairchild, my banjo hero. Make those five strings reverberate in heaven!
Best Banjo picker ever!
R.I.P. Raymond it truly sadden my heart to find out he died no body could pick it like Raymond he had his own sound like no other sad sad day 😥💔
Memory Eternal.
R.i.p Ramon's fair child only got to see him 1 time
Greatest banjo picker ever,in my opinion..
Makes that Banjo talk,
Anyone know the name of the tune at the opening?
Military Five String by Don Reno. Which is the Marines Hymn. But check Dons recording of it.
