Might as well not reply to a 2 year old comment, but guess I will. I've been a banjo player since I was 5 and Grandpa Jones is indeed playing clawhammer. In fact, frailing is just another term for clawhammer. There are no upstrokes for either. Unless the banjo player decides to do his own thing.

This was written by Dolly Parton. She has explained that she wrote it based on a combination of characters she knew growing up, including an uncle. She has peformed it live hundreds of times. See 'Dolly in London,' 'Heart Songs,' 'Live and well,' concerts etc, to mention a few. She wrote this when she was very young. It is a wonderful song.

@Wntrkill This is not clawhammer, this is the older style known variously as frailing or rapping a banjo. it consists entirely of downstrokes, which gives it it's unique sound and character. Clawhammer uses both up and down strokes, and a syncopated version of that style bacame what we know today as Scruggs style.

I think there's plenty of young people who are into roots music of all types, and are actively playing it. The main problem is that mainstream media will never publicize it because they cater solely to an American pop audience who is only interested in the latest "entertainment news" (an oxymoron if there ever was one). So, in other words, there's plenty of people out there playing this music, but it's just kinda gone underground.

Shame of it is there's nobody around to take these old-timers' place when they're gone. Its a part of our heritage that has almost disappeared. Try searching "Sherman Mountain Boys" though. They are 4 young teens who can really pick the bluegrass!
