Movie trivia: Did you know that the Deliverance kid didn’t play the banjo, but someone behind him put his arms around the kid and played?

More Trivia: James Dickey, the author of Deliverance, played the role of the sheriff at the end of the movie. And he was actually pretty good, too.

More trivia: According to Burt Reynolds, McKinney really did penetrate Ned Beatty and had to be pulled off of him by the film crew. The banjo kid was apparently the progeny of this unholy alliance.

Yep. The American Legion used to run a square dance in Mountain City, GA, at the "Mountain City Playhouse" up until the early 1990's. It was THE thing to do on Saturday nights in the summertime and would draw locals and folks who had cabins on nearby Lake Burton, Seed and Rabun. When I was a kid we always went to Mountain City and I used to see the banjo guy from Deliverance pretty much every Saturday. Lots of folks out of the Foxfire book series were usually there, too.
