I just saw the new banjo documentary "Give Me The Banjo" on PBS last 
night and there I wuz, about 2/3s of the way through it in Pete Seeger's 
interview/history section. Seems someone shot footage of me and Charlie 
Chin at the Bitter End c. 1962 and the footage survived. Zow! The clip 
is not a long one, but boy was I surprised!
Charlie was a Chinese banjo frailer who went on to record with one of 
Steve Stills' groups.
