can shane play banjo

[MacRua]

Can Shane play the banjo? It remains one of the great metaphysical questions of the age. Not even Tony Brown, Steve Earle's producer then and one of the most powerful people in Nashville now, was able to give a definitive answer.

Is that the recording session that can be seen on the "Completely Pogues"-Video you are talking about, Phil?

I would say it's rather about Steve's Copperhead Road and Shane's take on Johnny Come Lately in particular.

Well, yes, Shane can be seen playing banjo along to "Johnny come lately". But does anyone know whether his "input" got actually recorded ?

[Grievous Angel]

The liner notes of Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road" have him credited as playing both banjo and bodhran, and that must have been some trick to play both at the same time.

It´s maybe something only Shane is capable of doing.
