Great musician. He’s on many of the early Judy Collins’ albums when she was still a folk singer. She always surrounded herself with talented artists.
I always hated Dueling Banjos because I had the original version, Feudin Banjos, with Arthur Smith and Don Reno, Weissberg told Banjo Newsletter in 2006. I hated it because it wasnt bluegrass at all. It had a rhythm section, with drums. Who needs that?

He did, because he then formed a group called Deliverance.
Lol. I reckon that's one way to refer to said banjo player. A young Joe Biden could be another (in looks and mental acuity).
I am acquainted with Steve Mandell’s sister on another forum. Until she mentioned it, I had no idea who played this. A great piece.
I never knew.....I always thought Billy Reddin, the boy with the banjo, was the actual player..........
RIP.
