What I like about this one is the banjo player is wearing clothes more fitting with the rustic look of his bedroom... and as we saw in the first video, the rustic look of his bedroom is offset nicely by that freakin' huge model of the Millenium Falcon.

The banjo can be deceiving like that.

VERY talented kids.

I derive a fair portion of my living recording bluegrass musicians and I can tell you these children are the real deal.

Phenomenal is what they is.

specifically, bluegrass music. It was everywhere and the closer you were to the mountains, the more of it there was.

Then I looked these kids up and found out they're from New Jersey!

Now that really is amazing. I've seen kid acts before down south when they stuff a banjo into a toddler's hands as soon as s/he can reach the bottom half of the fingerboard but few of them were as good as this kid is.

By the time he's a teenager, he will be leaving the grownups in the dust. His brothers aren't too shabby, either.
