A feel good story about Meredith Judd
Our feel good story. A look back at a life that gave so much happiness to all that were lucky enough to meet him. At 98 years, Meredith Judd passed away while living with his daughter Judy Bradford in South Carolina.”. We lost a piece of Americana… after all he got his first banjo from Al Capone. Thank you, Lou Shields, for the introduction and Paul Henry’s Gallery for the venue.” A true banjo music inspiration.
The joy of his banjo inspiration, playing at Paul Henry’s Art Gallery still rings in many ears.
For Example, one song has a lasting memory.
As “Judd” would sing and strum on that Ludwig Banjo “Glad to be here…I’m Glad to be any Damn Place…” to a roaring audience at Paul Henry’s Art Gallery. Subsequently, your everyday hero Judd would be considered one of those bigger than life guys by many. He was a true everyday hero.
In addition, another song he would always recite went something like this: “I’m riding down the road …with a big load…etc.” He remarked that the words to it would drive him crazy because he couldn’t always remember them. But, the music from his finger to the banjo never failed him.
The sound of his Ludwig banjo is a feel good story
Judd while laughing would say he played in ladies of the night places and any other place where he would be asked. No doubt, His love of entertaining the crowds with his banjo talent was his life. As the producer of the video relays, “Meredith was a good ole sole that probably enjoyed life more than we could ever hope for ourselves. Anyway, after talking to him that is how his life looked to me.”
Therefore, this “Toe Tapping” Ludwig Banjo playing Meredith Judd will be sorely missed. But, his banjo music inspiration will stay with us all.
Final word, rest in Peace Dear Judd!
