 |
| "The man with 10,000 Fingers" - acquired his first banjo from a pawn ticket. As a soloist for Phil Spitalny's orchestra Perry played a style all of his own. Unlike the full chord melody style of Eddie Peabody, Perry developed his own unique style that had not been heard before. During the depression Perry taught banjo and guitar and later his career excelled in the recording and radio industry. During the come back years of the banjo Perry was featured in a full-page pictorial in LIFE magazine "Strumming Up A Banjo" |
