Morgan Sexton won a National Heritage Award for his "amazingly pure and unaffected singing and playing style." Music at once deeply grounded in the mountains of East Kentucky and coming from a ethereal world.

Here's a documentary about him:

I had this little banjo riff that felt so right for these tender words.
The whole arrangement was basically about using space & melody to bring a wistful ray of hope into a dark place.

Learning #banjo without a teacher can be challenging. YouTube helps, but books are much less annoying.

The standard method for Clawhammer is Ken Perlman's "Clawhammer Style Banjo" and it's brilliant.
