Eddy Davis - The Manhattan Ministrel

Eddie Davis passed away, and I think we must do something to honor him.
His contribution to the banjo world is essential.
I was thinking, of digitizing his whole Youtube library.
Can somebody help?
Thanks

I wish I was helpful but alas I don’t have the ability nor time for that kind of thing. I will say I’ve watched and learned from Eddie Davis since I started learning tenor at 17 years old over 10 years ago and would love to see this work done.
You could help us to start to transcribe some of his music on a piece of paper... I can digitize them...
I’m a plectrum player but always enjoyed Eddie’s many contributions to the BHO.
Somewhere in my basement I have a couple of LP’s from Eddy’s early days.
Will
PS And also… how about a shoutout to all the other closet banjo players who may be lurking out there…?
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
Hey! I only recently started checking out Eddy - and have begun digging in on a nice tenor banjo which I picked up for a song. I'm playing DGbe (Chicago tuning) bare fingered -- looking to continue a project from pre-pandemic times with tuba, trombone, clarinet, and guitar (now tenor banjo)
Maybe we should start a tenor banjo topic/category? @Jack told me he's been playing his tenor

I play CGDA, the tuning Eddy used. But I can't transcribe his whole thing all by myself, as Irving Berling would say...
Would it not be better if we team up by email? I don't know how this "topic" here works...
Let me know
I was recently gifted with a zip file containing 3.4 GB of videos (mainly mp4 but a few FLV) of Eddy's postings - in case anything happens, I have those off-line should anyone need something, I probably have it.
Just read this comment. Can you upload it there?
