Thanks for the friend add! We hope you enjoy our music and we appreciate your support. This is a great site in honor of one of the most memorable banjo pickers of all time.
I appeared with String on the Grand Ole Opry in June 1967. He was the nicest and down to earth man and funny. We all miss him and his wife very much. Thanks for the add.
Although I am too young to remember Stringbean, I have seen him on TV Shows and heard his records. What a great entertainer. I wish I could have known him.
