Little "Jethro" Burns with his famous mandolin

 

Little
Kenneth "Jethro" Burns (of the comedy duo "Homer and Jethro") has been called a brilliant parodist & perhaps the world's greatest mandolin player. He is shown here as a young boy playing the mandolin for which he became so famous. H.J. "Happy" Burns (brother) is at his side on the guitar. Jethro, apparently, had not yet teamed up with "Homer." Jethro helped Chet Atkins get his start in country music. Happy helped Roger Miller.
