David “String Bean” Akeman was a banjo player from Kentucky that made it big on the Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw, both American TV shows that featured “old-time” music. String Bean was a modest man, who had few indulgences and was known to keep his money hidden at his house, due to a distrust in banks due to the Great Depression. Once this became common knowledge around Nashville, Tennessee, String Bean and his wife became a target of robbery...which had a deadly ending.
