James Rogers is a very popular State Champion Banjo Player from Ft. Meade, Florida. He was and may still be the banjo player for the crowd-favorite Sunny Bluegrass Band. He inspired me to learn to play the banjo. My banjo teachers were Harry Trott, James Dockery and Ron Rimmer in the 1970s.

This was with Band In A Box Accompaniment. I made two or three mistakes but in general it's a pretty good example of how I play this great tune by James Rogers of Ft. Meade, Florida. James has been the Florida State Champion Banjo Player many times and the Banjo Player for the very popular Sunny Bluegrass Boys. He's one of the best banjo players I've ever heard and a really nice guy! I have three of his albums autographed by him....Robert

I did this version up and down the neck; without picks! Ben Eldridge has mentioned he sometimes plays without picks around the house when he is trying something new....Robert

This is my latest, current recording of my favorite song of all time. With digital MP3; for David who has this very discerning, acute ear;-) It's a bit "slower-paced" but I think the quality is better and David will appreciate the endeavor....anyway, here it is and I feel it's not too bad for an 'ole codger like me to sing at the age of 75...many of my relatives and friends my age are facing going into nursing homes....but not me!!! This is too much fun to seek security, food and shelter provided by someone else! ;-) Robert
