The Banjo Man - gryphon - 12-11-2010
I have come across many references to "The Banjo man " in songs by contempoary arits and with a bit or reserch have managed to put a name to the man
Derroll Adams..................
Youtube has given me a few more leads to his work:

Does any one know any more about him and his work
He seems to have a connection to Belgium as people talk about him being found "South Of Antwerp "
The wiki gives little
