It brings a tear to my eye to know that these two are still at it. They've performed a remarkable service in preserving America's musical heritage in the electronic age and turning recent generations onto the joy of musical creativity. Roll, Pete and Jean, Roll.!
Hello, RayB- Thanks for the thanks.....the words I sing to the chorus are: Foldy-roldy-tildy-tolly-seek-a-double-use-a-cause-a-roll-o'bindin. As such it has no real meaning, but probably started out as a reference to sewing or mending, or quilting? (Roll 'o binding). We used to "bind" the edges of our new quilts just off the frame. Jean
Thanks for sharing that with us.I could never quite figure out what them words was in that there song...Folly rolly dilly dally seeka dubble music cause a roll about me?...Right?
Hahaha....delightrful! I learned this song off a record when i was five,and loved it. I still sing it when the mood strikes me! Thank you for this American gem...and with these artists!!
Pete is very much alive and living in the Hudson River valley, near Beacon, NY. And, at 88, he sings just fine for me! I would assume that all of his works are nicely archived since he is the son of a musicologist and an archivist himself.
I don't know him, but have known OF him for a long time. He a founder of the Clearwater Foundation, promoting a clean Hudson River and a sailing boat called Clearwater. Go to clearwater DOT org for info. They have a 2-day festival every year (June 21-22 in 2008) around Beacon, NY. As long as he can still do so, Pete attends & performs. I plan on going up this year. Some of the last chances to see a true living legend.
not for kids only is full of old traditional that jerry and david appreciated and uderstood both, equally it seemed...... if you appreciate traditional music this is one of the oinly guys to check out if you haven't read a \bio on this man do so and i'm glad at least you and me enjoy real music...

I love the rhyme for "will you wear orange" that David Grisman and Jerry Garcia used:
"Orange I won't wear, cause it rhymes, SO THERE!"
I love Pete and Jean's music; always have, always will.

The other night, this song got stuck in my head, and as I was drifting to sleep, the rhyme for "Silver" came to me.
And no. I aint sharing. Find your own rhyme! :)

That is so cool. There is a much older version of them performing the same song, and there they are doing it again. I love it.
