The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys

"A bedroom practice of Ralph Stanley's How Mountain Girls Can Love. Brothers Jonny Mizzone age 9 on banjo, Robbie Mizzone age 12 on fiddle, and Tommy Mizzone age 14 on guitar. Jonny is playing a Huber Vintage VRB-75 Banjo."
Hearing the music brings back fond memories of my ten years living in Kentucky.

Their website is here.

    Jonny appears to have only five fingers on each hand. He sounds like he has at least ten per hand! I also liked how big the banjo looks.
