First heard about this on QI, then did a little research.  Amazing story of playing the banjo during brain surgery…This video explains it all, then we’ll listen to some of Eddie Adcock’s music:

So I didn’t know Eddie.  Here’s some of his best work:

1.  Eddie and Martha Adcock and Tom Gray, 2009

2.  Eddie and Martha on a Porch…

3. A little clip of Eddie in the Documentary ‘Echoes of America.’

4. And if you like that clip, here’s a bit more on the history of the 5 String Banjo

A. Part One:

B. Part Two:

C. Part Three:

D. Part Four:

E. Part Five:

Well, I imagine that is more than you ever wanted to know about the banjo.  Or brain surgery

That’s it
