Anyone know of 4-string banjo players who played, or currently play, Western Swing/Texas fiddle rhythm accompaniment? I know of Ocie Stockard, who played mainly rhythm with Milton Browen and Bob Wills and then leading his own band, and Smokey Montgomery. The Texas fiddler Eck Roberston also was accompanied by tenor banjo on his early recordings.
From my reading it appears that banjo players switched to guitar as soon as drums came into the bands.
Thanks for any names or links to videos or recordings.
