I'm pretty sure that my commentary on these video clips doesn't really do justice to Don Reno. He was an extremely versatile entertainer -- a killer banjo player who pioneered an entire style of playing, a fearsome rhythm guitar player, a great singer, an excellent songwriter, a decent comedian (comedy was a highlight of the Reno and Smiley band). Reno died too young. He should be around still, jamming with Earl Scruggs.
