Lots of good banjo pickers out there. Wouldn't want to put them in any order...but of course Earl, JD, and Sonny are pro favorites. Local "heros" on the banjo include Lonnie Hoppers, Allen Jones, and although he is no longer with us...Dean Crowe.

I started playing guitar with my father in 1978. He was a good old time fiddler player. I then became interested in the banjo after buying an old Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs album at an auction for $1.00 :) Been hooked ever since! I played with Cedar Bluff Bluegrass with my Dad in the early '80's then from 1995 until 2006 with The Bluegrass Five. I've started driving a truck now and don't have as much time to play as I'd like but I do have a Deering that I take along on the road to try to keep my fingers limber. lol
