I don't know who he is but seeing his photo makes me a bit sad.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I don't know him either, but it's always sad when a long-neck banjo player passes on.

"Mary Mack" I've heard this 100 times at RenFaires and it's not Period! The horror! The horror! Interesting how many of his songs I recognize, but I've never heard his name before.
