[dcab-l] Banjo Picker Bill Blackburn

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. I haven't seen him since.

 

I recently re-read the liner notes (9 pages!) in Buzz Busby's CD

"Going Home", and, sure enough, there was Bill Blackburn playing

bass on a cut (or two).

 

Anyone know what happened to banjoist Bill Blackburn?
