Little Roy Lewis joins the Tennessee Bluegrass Band on stage at the Withlacoochee Bluegrass Festival on March 18, 2023 for a rousing rendition of Reuben's Train.
The gentleman not wearing a shirt is an incredibly talented banjo player! I've been listening to old time jazz and bluegrass music and black jump music for many years, and this gentleman is one of the best improvisers I've ever heard. WOW!
There's no such thing as talent, this is a skill, and they all learned to play from hard work and lots of practice. Talent is a word invented by people who think they cannot do things like this.
@@WNActivist88 Someone with talent through practice can become a great musician. Someone without talent through practice will not become a great musician.
Little Roy. That ain’t the first time he’s done funny stuff at a show. I was in a group and we were opening up the show and I happened to glance over at the steps leading to the stage and saw that he had a grape stuck in his nostril and he was just grinning at me. I almost forgot where we were in the song..lol
He would always come on stage in some crazy get up during the Osborne Brothers set and mess with Sonny. His "suspender playing" during the Lewis Family's Honey in the Rock is epic.
The man without a shirt is very good. The people wondering why he's without a shirt. It's his alter personality. I guess you haven't seen stringbean or grandpaw jones.
I'd like to know where he got the rubber ears? My late grandfather,that died before I was born,was also a banjo picker & had a pair of ears like that. I Would like any information about the ears & why??? My grandfather also has distant relatives in Tennessee. His name was Carson Guthrie " Red" Howard.
