    Hee Haw Banjo

    I am getting a lot of questions about the story and the set-up of Bobby Thompson’s studio banjo, also referred to as the “Hee-Haw Banjo”, and would like to give an in-depth description of the perhaps most often recorded banjo ever. Bobby gave me the banjo in 1996 because he could no longer play it anymore due to his illness. I’ve always loved Bobby Thompson’s banjo sound ever since I started to play the banjo in 1968. The sound of his banjo and his great musicality to me represented Nashville more than anything else. But as unique as his banjo sounds on the countless recordings (so far my collection of albums featuring Bobby Thompson’s excellent banjo work contains about 400 records or more) as unique are the features of this historical instrument.
