Does anyone have a video of Eric playing this banjo?

Jim could pull tone and power out of a tin can with some twine strung on it. One of a kind.

Got to talk to his wife over the phone, just as nice as he was. Jim was a great businessman, husband, and a super inspirational banjoist. My favorite song of his has got to be Hide head Blues

How about some detail on the banjo, FON, who has it now, etc? The tailpiece looks strangely familiar.....

What would really be amazing if someone could detail the evolution of Eric's banjo. What ever happened to the first neck that banjo had with all the inlay.

Great player but always wondered why he looks at the keyboard so much while he is playing. Sort weird

Thats the banjo that started the greatest bluegrass revival in history early 70s. To add to more correction, Arthur Smith didnt write duelling banjos he took the tune from Harry S. Turner his piano protoge' in his group the crackerjacks, it was called duelling strings. Arthur was miscredited for this.

the RB3 must be the greatest of all banjos in existence. However, I hear a tone difference in everyone I listen to online. Anyone who can say anything about that . What kind of tonering was this banjos issued with originally ? Since I will never afford one, what is the best clone to a manageable price ?

I just don't understand how there are two people in this world who didn't enjoy that. I mean, if you don't like banjo, and if you don't like gospel music, why did you click on this video in the first place? If I could play (pick) that song the way he does, and couldn't play any other song, I'd be a happy man.

Jim, great banjo player, Eric the Legend....! His Duelling banjos and that legendary 2 piece flange pre-war started the largest 2nd generation Bluegrass revival in history. Sad to hear Eric has recently went to rest. A Legend.

If Jim Mills is testing out a banjo just keep quiet. You may never get the opportunity again to hear this genius at work in such an intimate setting. Frustrating!

You people are the most soulless creatures on the face of this earth. Who cares if they’re talking. It’s a banjo camp. You don’t have to sit and listen intently while he plays like you’re listening to a sermon from Jesus Christ himself. And who’s to say that Jim didn’t play more once the camera wasn’t recording?
