DVD-The Banjo of Ralph Stanley
This intimate look at Ralph Stanley's pioneering banjo style begins with the first tunes he learned from his mother in the old-time clawhammer technique, and progresses through the three-finger bluegrass picking he helped make famous. Included are both detailed instruction and full-band performances of some of the most beloved Stanley Brothers tunes: "Little Maggie," "Hard Times," "Dickenson County Breakdown," "Little Birdie," "Clinch Mountain Backstep," "Train 45," more.Produced by Smithsonian/Folkways and Homespun Video
