Was a member of the folk trio
The Tarriers in the late 1950s, with
Eric Weissberg and
Alan Arkin. He played bluegrass guitar on the 1963
album "New Dimensions in Banjo and Bluegrass" with Weissberg; this was
later reissued as "Dueling Banjos", a pseudo-soundtrack album for
Deliverance (1972) (the title track was the only piece that was
actually used in the film).
