I was at his Gravesite Feb 12, 2024. I went out to see his house in Baker Hollar too

Those SOBs that killed him and his wife should have gotten the death penalty.

Don't you just love it? Classic. String was awesome. RIP string.

String bean is an lyrical genius. To be so creative in character and song. And by God can he play that banjo. Seemed like such a genuine person too, RIP

in the year 2021 most younger people don't like this kind of music... but I love it.

This is false. I played on the street today and made 7$ in an hour. Not great, but not bad for what I would essentially be doing at home but with no practice in front of actual people.

I still remember Stringbean singing this. Thanks for uploading.

My 4 year old Granddaughter’s favorite song. ❤️ Stringbean

Then I bet my good right arm she'd also like the song named "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?"

Never has such trash brought such joy to so many Miss you Stringbean 😭

An awesome country song.

It is funny, Old String come on TV shows with low rider pants and now younger people, Black and white are doing this style.

masterpiece best banjo player in the world RIP String, them bastards will pay for their crimes for eternity!

Great !!! love this people, so creative.

This is great! :D

String will always be an inspiration to me. The reason i puck the 5 string make darn sure i enjoy every second of it

Wish i could find banjo tabs for this song

so sad how he died...

Looking back at this wondering how many musicians he's influenced over the decades just by his caricature alone. First one I think comes to mind is Les Claypool of Primus- I can see him watching old clips of stringbean and being influenced by his character and his musicmanship.

Stringbean. This is as real as it gets.

This is my cousin

i smell a hit

Man he could really make that instrument ring and sing🎉

Never heard of this guy but I like the music and his style I’m needing to do some research on him

Notice how String uses the 2 Finger picking style

Genuine 2-finger style, RIP.

How is he playing the banjo only with two fingers?

I believe it’s something he learned from Uncle Dave Macon. Now how it works, I have no idea

4Jakov Because this guy is someone that people either really like or really don’t like. He plays the character of a lovable fool, and some people take offense to that I guess. A few years ago, when Ireland was trying to promote themselves as a modern country, a strong member of the EU and all that, it was hard for traditional Irish music acts to get attention. The mood in the country was that they did not want to be seen as rural, folksy types anymore, and so groups with a more traditional approach got something of a cold shoulder.

Shoulda went for it string!!!

I know I have this backwards chronologically but he reminds me of Les Claypool from Primus. Lyrically and instrumentally what Les does as a lead bass player isn't too far off from this. Watch Primus playing Tommy the Cat live. Music is a lot different at first but wait until he settles down on the verses.

Need some for the 3 children .. understand 3 sticks worth.

Genius!😅
