So you may well remember Star Wars on a Banjo, as originally featured here on TheBestOfYoutube.com. It is up to 439,000 views on Youtube now, with over 1500 comments.
Someone posted the above link in the comments recently, and I thought it was too funny to pass up. It’s his or her daughter headbanging to Star Wars on a Bnajo.
The folks at the Redneck Photo Site put together this lovely montage of whitebread America set to Dueling Banjos. Grab some jerky, a beer and your sister and enjoy the show.
OK, so I still haven’t had time to read through the 1100+ comments in response to my Star Wars on a Banjo video, but I did catch the guy above asking me to watch his video response.
Thank you, kudjo24, for taking the time out to create this - it’s quite funny and has started the wheels turning in my head, formulating ideas for a response.
In other words, I see your Master of Puppets, and raise you…raise you…
You’ll just have to wait and see!
Many of you already know I am a banjo picker, so this video pretty much stunned me. Earl Scruggs, the pioneer of the three-finger bluegrass banjo style, one of the last remaining, living bluegrass legends, has teamed up with some of his ‘younger’ counterparts to form Men With Banjos That Know How To Use Them. None other than Steve Martin joins them.
Since I have been scouring Youtube for the best videos lately, I decided I would start contributing some of my own. Using my Logitech webcam, I recorded the following video this evening for your listening and viewing pleasure. When I was in The Second String Bluegrass Band, we used to play this tune when the crowds were rowdy. Have a look-see.
