Yep, Setzer lost a bet...

FWIW, the first guy shown, seated but raving around and looking like he has red ants on that stool?  That's Eddie Peabody, the clown prince of banjo.  Very good player in his day, actually.  If memory serves, Rickenbacker named a solidbody electric banjo after him.

Peabody was known for a unique strumming pattern.  He is one of those guys that other banjoists try to copy.

I used to pick with an old man at the VA Nursing Home who, in addition to guitar and fiddle, played a 4-string banjo with a pick and was a bigtime admirer of Eddie Peabody. Sam had that Eldon Shamblin  Western Swing style guitar down cold. I learned a lot about 30s and 40s country and popular music from him, and I sure do miss him a lot.
