Great moments in the history of Bluegrass

EXT, PORCH, NORTH CAROLINA FARMHOUSE - DAY

Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith noodles away at the banjo. The tune he plays? “Dueling Banjos.” British director John Boorman appears.

Boorman: Hello, mate.

Smith: Hey.

Boorman: Nice tune.

Smith: I guess.

Boorman: Say. Ever read Deliverance...? Splendid novel by that James Dickey fellow. Poet, normally. But it's quite the ripping yarn.

Smith: Uh. No?

Boorman: Splendid. Well. To get straight to the point, I should like to buy the rights to your jolly tune. For filmic purposes.

Smith: Beg pardon?

Boorman: I wish to make “Dueling Banjos” the symbol of forcible male buggery for all tiime.

Smith: What? Sorry. I didn't catch that.

Boorman: I'll pay you a great deal of money to use your song in my next film.

Smith: Oh. Well, that's OK, man. Sure.

Boorman: Here's a check. See? I'm writing it.

Smith: Thanks, man.
