OMG, my favorite scene!! "That was mighty fine pickin' and a-singing, boys. Now come on in here and sign this piece of paper here. I'm gonna pay y'all ten dolla apiece". I still LOL when I think about this scene!
It was the song Man of Constant Sorrow that hooked me and the hymns like Angel Dance and Keep on the Sunny Side that touched my soul.
Then I dragged my reluctant family to see it in the theater and we bought the DVD the next day.
One of the greatest movies ever made. Godfather, Wizard of OZ, Caddy Snhack move over.
