Drat. I really liked this song. Played it a million times. Now I can't even remember the name or the group.

It was a pop Banjo group; I think quite old - 70's. The song was instrumental, several banjos playing over top of each other. Someone once commented that the way it played reminded her of rain falling in a rain shower.

Anyone even remember any pop banjo groups?

(No it's not the song from Deliverance.)
