	Eddie Peabody - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		Peabody entered the stage by sliding down a giant prop of a banjo neck, wearing an eye-boggling blazer, and pants large enough for a medium-sized giraffe.
		Peabody is often credited with inventing the idea of playing the banjo with a soft pick instead of the fingers, however it is hard to imagine other players not having tried something like this from time to time.
		Peabody's use of a pick to play the fiddle was definitely unusual, however, and country fiddlers that use this gimmick tend to credit the idea to Peabody.

		or nearly 50 years, Eddie Peabody kept the banjo on center stage, starting out in vaudeville and winding up on television with appearances on "The Lawrence Welk Show." Peabody was introduced to string instruments starting with the mandolin at age five and was playing on stage before the age of ten.
		Peabody was interested in the technical aspects of the instrument, and at one time licensed his own special plectrum banjo design to a leading instrument manufacturer.
		Peabody usually stuck to the standard banjo material--"Yes, Sir, That's My Baby," "Tiger Rag," and other country/Dixieland/flapper numbers, but he experimented on occasion--proving on more than one occasion, for example, that the banjo and Latin music do not mix.

		He claims to have worn the grooves off of Eddie Peabody's records, trying to learn the legend's licks by ear.

		By the time he was 16, he found himself on the same stage as his hero, Eddie Peabody, for a Banjo Spectacular organized in 1969 by promoter Ralph Martin.

		Peabody did not have that background and came out with a style that was pure plectrum banjo.
		Peabody was the supreme show banjoist and Reser was the supreme recording studio and orchestral banjoist.
		Peabody once told me during a jam session in his later years that when he was on stage he was not playing for banjo players but for the audience.That philosophy gave him a career with his banjo for half of a century.

	History of the 4-String Banjo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The rising plectrum soloists like Bill Bowen, Eddie Peabody and Perry Bechtel drew more from the styles of the classical 5-string players.
		As these syncopated plectrum solo styles of star vaudeville performers like Eddie Peabody gained musical popularity, they also created a new model for what the banjo was supposed to sound like.
		So, tenor players, in a noble act of self redemption, began playing chord melody on a tuning for which it was never intended.

	Re: Rickenbacker Banjoline (GuitarSite.com)
		The electric banjoline was developed by the late Eddie Peabody, a phenominal plectrum banjo player.
		The trasditional tuning for the plectrum, which Eddie would have used, would be (from the lowest strings to the highest,) C-G-B-D.So, even though it has six strings, you play it as if it had four.
		The instrument was developed so Eddie could play softer music at his gigs and on his recordings.

		On a similar note: Being a long- time tenor banjo player (I play mostly ukes and mandolin now), I was a big Eddie Peabody fan in the 60s and played full-chord melody similar to his style (though not quite as good, of course).
		It was only a couple of years ago that I read in some articles that Eddie Peabody actually preferred Gibson banjos.
		His Vega banjos (which he was paid to endorse and play) were special made, one of a kind, unobtainable to the masses, highly modified, worked, re- worked, set up, and made to sound and feel as close to a Gibson as they could get them to.

		The sound of the plectrum banjo first caught my ear when I heard the instrument played by Eddie Peabody on the old WLS National Barn Dance radio show out of Chicago in the early 1940s.
		In my ignorance about banjos, I promptly went to the local music store in my hometown of New Ulm, Minnesota, bought a second hand tenor banjo for $10, and started taking lessons from the proprietor, Bill Brown, Sr., a good violinist who did a fair double on tenor banjo.
		As much as I have enjoyed playing the banjo as a diversion to my day job in journalism, I have found myself drawn increasingly to the historical research and writing side of banjo activities.
