Another one of the world's finest musicians has crossed that lonely river.

Like many in rural Appalachia during his youth, he grew up poor. His dad would sing Pretty Polly and other songs while he practiced the claw hammer style banjo picking his mother taught him on a stick!
Didn't get a banjo until his was 15. His biography is truly fascinating!
