   That's a lovely version by those unidentified banjoists.  I heard Doc Watson' voice talking afterwards; maybe he played.

   Here's a 1963 version by Hobart Smith.

   Very cool version!  Here is a vid of those same banjoists many years later:

   They sound great.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are more people playing banjo like this now than there were fifty or so years ago.  The other night I went to a screening of short underground films, and during intermission a young guy played clawhammer banjo and sang Appalachian folk songs.
