That was a wonderful video, thank you for the link! For anyone interested in more about the Hammons family, there is a great booklet that was written by Alan Jabbour and Carl Fleischhauer, with help from Dwight Diller, published by the Library of Congress in 1973. You can find it online here.

Thanks R.D., I had not seen this little video, though I am familiar with the pictures and recordings in it. It is a nice compilation.

I was happy to see Trevor mentioned at the end of it, he is a fine banjo player, and a fine young man. We always camp next to the Hammons at Clifftop, and they are some real nice folks.
