I think we're long overdue for another Banjo Interlude

Not from me, this time, though. This is my friend "Whitey", and his composition "Can of Cream Corn"...only playable by him, because he is the only banjo player that plays the way he does. He invented a whole new style. I played opposite him in a jam a couple weeks ago, and was just amazed watching him play (my banjo).

And if that wasn't enough to satisfy your appetite for John White's unusual take on Traditional Music, how about this cover of Ernest Tubb's "Waltz Across Texas"

Thank you for watching.
