This is my ‘Folk and Bluegrass’ playlist on my personal YouTube channel. I curate the playlist, with 263 live music videos at least weekly. It’s one the biggest #playlists of the nineteen I curate on my channel. I’ve collected these #MusicVideos for over a decade, and without being too immodest I think I did a damn good job. You can hit this playlist, sit back and enjoy for hours, days even. Or just keep it on in the background on shuffle. My gift to you. BTW, if you’re not already spending the $18.99/month (USD) for YouTube premium, you’re missing out. I’d get rid of all my other streaming subs, including Netflix & Prime, before I’d part with my #YouTubePremium - Just sayin. #FolkMusic#Bluegrass#Music#Fiddle#Banjo#Guitar#Mandolin
3/8/74 grisman’s house: a pair of 1920s hot #jazz standards that pop up soon in the repertoire of grisman’s new great american string band, bernie/pinkard/casey’s SWEET GEORGIA BROWN & furber/braham’s LIMEHOUSE BLUES, rich & full & fun. both mark a level-up in complexity from the old & in the way material, moving towards dawg music. 1st appearance of SWEET GEORGIA BROWN in the garciaverse, though LIMEHOUSE BLUES shows up on the ’64 banjo lesson tape. #garciafreaksunite#jg030874 [2/2]
@bourgwick i think it's fair to say that sweet Georgia brown entered the acoustic music world (as opposed to jazz) via Doc Watson in between 64 and 74 though both Dawg and Spud would have known it from Django and many others obviously
Well, the tip of my thumb has been whittled like wood
The way I'm abusin' the lighter
I'm a-self-medicatin', a-tokin' all day
And a-tryna fight fire with fire
I live by the pipe and I'll die by it too,
Least that's how it seems to me
#NowPlaying - the kentucky colonels, feat. scotty stoneman on #fiddle, live in LA, spring & summer 1965, about a year after #JerryGarcia was regularly following & taping them. aces #bluegrass picking by clarence & roland white, but stoneman's fiddle (& the instrumentals) are the selling point, sounding infinite/timeless/oceanic for bars at a time. shoulda played with henry flynt! plus, garcia on stoneman. @vinylrecords
@bourgwick there are some relatively extended solos for the era but nothing that crosses into super extended territory no. Certainly nothing close to ten minutes much less longer. They're very, very fun tapes though
#NowPlaying - the 2nd (& less all-star) of 2 major label LPs by #bluegrass legend vassar clements, both from '75. though there are some great #jazz moves & wild #fiddle, mostly lands on the country/allmans-y side of western swing. clements is brilliant but there's kinda not enough of him & rest of the band doesn't really grab me. @vinylrecords
@mrcompletely not sure i follow? elkhorn's taken a bunch of forms around drew/jesse with (as i hear it) jesse's 12-string acting as rhythm section for drew's leads. not totally obvious, but drew was a free jazz drummer/vibraphonist for many years before he focused on guitar, played in one of cecil taylor's big band projects at some point.
@bourgwick well in terms of solo stuff I mostly know Drew's recent guitar centric work. What I'm getting at is that Elkhorn feels like more, or at least different, compared to what seems like the obvious sum of its parts
🇮🇹 Un duo di fiddle (violino folk) e melodeon (fisarmonica irlandese) che non si stanca mai di suonare. Martin e Clarke e Will Allen fanno una musica che è molto più della somma delle sue parti, non vorrete che finisca! Curiosità -> La fisarmonica si diffuse in Irlanda alla fine del XIX secolo e nella sua forma a dieci tasti (conosciuta con il nome di melodeon). Se negli Usa il melodeon riscosse apprezzamenti, il melodeon è ancora suonato nel Connemara. I moderni suonatori di fisarmonica preferiscono i bottoni a due file. Musicisti moderni come Sharon Shannon, Jackie Daly e Martin O’Connor hanno reso la fisarmonica irlandese un mezzo popolare che ben si accorda con la concertina.
🇬🇧 A dazzling duo of fiddle and melodeon. Martin and Clarke and Will Allen make music that's far more than the sum of its parts, you won't want it to stop! Interesting fact -> The accordion became popular in Ireland in the late 19th century and in its ten-key form (known as the melodeon). While the melodeon gained appreciation in the U.S., it is still played in Connemara. Modern accordion players prefer two-row buttons. Modern musicians such as Sharon Shannon, Jackie Daly, and Martin O'Connor have made the Irish accordion a popular medium that matches well with the concertina.
Great resource. https://www.loc.gov/collections/henry-reed-fiddle-tunes/about-this-collection/
Fiddle Tunes of the Old Frontier: The Henry Reed Collection presents traditional fiddle tunes performed by Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia. Recorded by folklorist Alan Jabbour in 1966-67, when Reed was over eighty years old, the tunes represent the music and evoke the history and spirit of Virginia's Appalachian frontier. Many of the tunes have passed back into circulation during the fiddling revival of the later twentieth century. #fiddle#fiddletunes
#NowPlaying - home & radio sessions by red cravens & the bray bros., 1964ish, sometimes known as the bluegrass gentlemen, featuring compilation producer john hartford playing #fiddle on 5 cuts. hardcore 2nd generation #bluegrass, great warm vocal/instrumental blends that aren't too show-offy or shrill. not folkways but a very early rounder record. bonus: stamp from flipside in #kalamazoo, where @4CPcomics's father purchased it. the days before shrink wrapped LPs! @vinylrecords
This is a tune that for some reason I thought I learned off the Atlantic Fiddles CD many years ago, but recently when I dug up that recording I didn't find this tune on there, so now I have no idea where I got it from. Anyone else recognize it? It seems it's originally a highland pipe tune.
