"...the best all-around banjo player to ever travel the old roads of the American nation..." In the early 1960s, students of American music rediscovered artists from the '20s and '30s, like John Hurt, Clarence Ashley, Skip James and others, at sold-out concerts. It's happening again. Billy Faier's landmark first album "Art of the Five String Banjo" was recorded fifty years ago. His newest live album was released in 2007. DO NOT MISS THIS RARE PERSONAL APPEARANCE!!!
