Here’s a closer look at the Sweet ‘Tater Band. There’s the guy with the banjo. Notice that he’s playing the banjo upside down – he’s playing a right-handed guitar with his left hand, so the fifth string is on top. Notice the dude on the homemade bass, known as a “gut bucket” because there’s a wash bucket at the base of that handle, which is actually an old musket. The last guy’s just classic.
