Dueling Banjos - On Stage Battle of the Banjos

[@abbyduttonwright1908]

Thank you to all who have watched and enjoyed our rendition of dueling banjos! We have fun performing on stage and definitely do not take ourselves too seriously haha! We have taken parts of several different renditions of this song and even added a few of our own. We realize it is not how most people have heard it with a guitar and banjo, but instead with two banjos. We have several banjo players in our family, so we figured why not take it way back and follow the example of the original way it was played😊

It was great to see the Duttons when I traveled with a church group from Cypress, TX last week October 10th. Abby joined us on our bus. She is a sweetheart and so talented.

[@theduttons]

Thank you so much for coming with your group to see us! We think Abby is pretty cool, too

I woke up this morning a few hours ago feeling terribly depressed. Been a rough two years. I have less mobility than ever before, deconditioned limbs and severe spinal nerve damage. Yes it gets me down, of course it does, I don't think I'd be normal if it didn't but just now, watching this pair of superbly talented people, who I must admit that I didn't know, gave me hope for a good day. I've always been a sucker for Duelling Banjos, yep, I saw Deliverance when it came out. Anyhoo, just wanted to let you know that you helped me this morning. Oh and greetings from London, England.

Truth of what Steve Martin said... "It's impossible to sing or play a depressing song with a Banjo".

[@theduttons]

SO TRUE! Everything just gets happier with a banjo on it. :)

True, but it’s also impossible to look cool while playing a banjo. 😂

Bravo siblings. I'd say this is a virtuosity in banjo playing. Master Earl Scrugs would certainly be pleasantly surprised to see what could still be taught to the banjo after his death.

[@theduttons]

We are huge Scrugs fans, thank you for mentioning him. He is certainly someone to aspire to!

[@mpospisil101]

@@theduttons Thank you for the pleasing answer. When I talked to some great banjo players in our country, they generally told me that they had learned to play according to Earl Scrugs' gang school. Greetings from CZ.
