LOL. No, sadly. My family story is much better.

When I was in the scouts a few years back we went to a camp that was 5 miles from where they shot the movie. The banjo kid wasn't written into the script. He just showed up at the shoot and started playing so they wrote him in.(Or so the camp counselors say. Not sure why they saw it as mentionable. Kinda wierded me out.)
