That was 47 years ago! No wonder Burt looked so young.
I'm camping on the river at Kevington from tomorrow for 4 days. Should I watch out?

Never been there, Googled it and looks pretty heavily wooded.
Watch out for pig hunters.
Enjoy

Basically LLD, if you hear a Banjo, run or at least stay seated and don't stand up at any time mate. If we hear a squealing pig we will know you stood up.

Last year at Kevington a full size female blowup doll floated past on the river.

Interesting point, the young bloke couldn't play the banjo, he was an actor named Billy Redden, he had a banjo player behind him.
"At the age of sixteen, he was selected for Deliverance from his school in Georgia by director John Boorman. He portrayed a banjo-playing "local" during the film's famous "dueling banjos" scene. Boorman felt that Redden's skinny frame, large head, and almond-shaped eyes made him the natural choice to play the part of an "inbred from the back woods." Because Redden could not play a banjo, he wore a special shirt which allowed a real banjo player to hide behind him for the scene, which was shot with carefully chosen camera angles that would conceal the player, whose arms were slipped around Redden's waist to play the tune. It is interesting that the hidden banjo player was shown playing "clawhammer" style, while the soundtrack had the banjo music as three finger "Earl Scruggs" style."
Though I don't have a clue about that 'clawhammer' or 'Earl Scruggs' style stuff.
(This is what google says about him ...Earl Scruggs practically invented the word banjo, and perhaps because of that he can count some of the most elite musicians among his "friends": Elton John, Sting, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley, Johnny Cash, John Fogerty, and the list goes on. In a career that spans 50 years, Scruggs' five-string banjo stylings have helped to define American music.) So there you go. I'll be able to impress people with that bit of trivia & hope that they don't ask me to expand.
Beautiful instruments & great playing on the clip that follows.
I could listen to that sort of music all day .. especially after a few reds. I might just record a bit of it to play late at night at over the fire on my upcoming RedClaw fishing trip (over a couple of glasses of port, perhaps).

On ya Cupie, I'm a big time banjo fan, here's one by Flatt and Scruggs, 3 finger style, I'm sure you will recognise.

Classic from Deliverance, Burt Reynolds and gang.
Watch out for those Rednecks in those woods when camping by the River.
