[dcab-l] Re: Banjo Picker Bill Blackburn

Bill Blackburn moved to Arizona years ago, was playing banjo in a band called Sagegrass.  He might still be in Sagegrass. I last saw him in Arizona in 2011 at the Benson BG festival, used to see him some years at IBMA.  He was a high school friend of John Duffey.  Together, they played with Lucky Chapman and the Ozark Mountain Boys, out of Frederick MD.  I still have the 45 rpm record they made...

25 years ago I happened to meet a banjo picker named Bill Blackburn;we picked some, and he happened to mention that actually he was a "notable" figure in the early DC bluegrass scene.
