Ernie Williams on Banjoquest/Bully of the Town
Here is Ernie Williams, long time banjoist and teacher in the state of Florida, playing "Bully Of the Town" a few years ago at the Florida Folk Festival. Ernie is originally from the Sand Mountain area of Alabama and you can see that wonderful influence in his style. Many, many, Florida old time banjo players have learned to play banjo from him.
