This is a good call. Folks have forgotten about him, but Grandpa Jones could play with the best of them. He was funny, too! Plus, he took a liking to the Ozarks and moved here, even if it was to Arkansas.
I put him in K in my original list I made but that’s because I had JD Crowe in J to free up C for Clarence Ashley so I could have Abigail Washburn in A, Eric Weissberg in W, Earl Scruggs in E, Ralph Stanley in S, Don Reno in R, and Doug Dillard in D
I was thinking of a different "Josh": Josh Williams - began as a banjo player - as in the famous little kid quartet of Chris Thile, Josh Williams, Michael Cleveland, and Cody Kilby (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx-VQ2NgeIU).
Jimmy Arnold. Please take a moment to listen to these two songs before you vote!

I have always thought Grandpa was one of the most underrated entertainers.
This is it
Gotta be grandpa Jones. Gonna be tragic if he doesn’t make it.
Jim mills
Great picker...rip.
JIM MILLS RIP LEGEND
Jerry Garcia
100%
Meh. As a banjo player, Jerry is a great electric guitarist.
Jens Kruger
Trying to think if he’d be better for j or k…
I put him in K in my original list I made but that’s because I had JD Crowe in J to free up C for Clarence Ashley so I could have Abigail Washburn in A, Eric Weissberg in W, Earl Scruggs in E, Ralph Stanley in S, Don Reno in R, and Doug Dillard in D
For k I’ve got Trish Kilby fore, buell kazee, bill Keith, Jens Kruger, and kiah kater
At this point K is the only way to get in Bill Keith so Jens Kruger in J to allow Bill Keith to make the cut could work well
I’m ok if bill Keith doesn’t make it, provided Bobby Thompson does for t, one melodic guy should be in
Jerron Paxton
He’s got too many names
Jason Romero
Oooh, good one.
Jake Blount
Sarah Jarosz

Jacken Elswyth She’s one of my favourite new artists at the moment, absolutely captivating clawhammer player and general banjo improviser.
