Welcome to the sixth installment of Leroy Troy's new music Tuesdays. This recording was made in Goodlettsville, TN. The song being performed is Marie Laveau. I think y’all are going to love this video. Be sure to check out the 0:27 second mark in this video.

I'm unable to find this or any Leroy Troy videos on the Hangout, nor on your page.
Where are they?

I think that's probably somewhat of an overstatement. Some may love it - but all? Hardly.

I would like to see him get serious once in a while. I've heard he is a talented banjo player but his silliness....or Uncle Daveisms are so over the top that it doesn't come through for me.

I can't tell if this is deadpan humor or not, but if not, it seems unnecessarily snarky. By "y'all" is doubt he literally meant every single member of the forum.
For what it's worth I did enjoy it (I used to listen to Bobby Bare sing this - dad had a compilation of novelty songs from the 60s and 70s he played in the car when I was a kid), even though I understand where Montanarick is coming from. It's the first one of these I liked enough to comment on. I like the way he's playing that riff of the banjo.

Fair enough, but I'm just being selfish, I've had people tell me that he can really play beautiful old time banjo. I would just like to see some of that shine through once in a while. I for one would take him more seriously as a well rounded musician if he mixed it up a little.

I didn't think that was snarky. I do think the OP's estimate of our collective enthusiasm for this stuff is "probably somewhat of an overstatement". I was holding back on expressing my actual opinion of the multiple YouTube videos of Leroy Troy that I watched as a result of this thread, searching for some redeeming features. I guess if you like acrobatics and tricks the guy's great. Some of us are less than enthusiastic about that sort of stuff.
