Such a talent, and some of these braindeads insist on yakking away while he is performing. May be if he wore pasties and a "G" string and had a heavy metal band playing with him they would pay more attention. RIP my friend. You blessed us all with your music. Liven up that heavenly band.

He had to put up with a lifetime of people asking him about Pete, yet never lost his cool about it. R.I.P. Mike Seeger.

I don't know, I don't think Mike ever spent any time in Pete's shadow. Mike had his audience and Pete had his. Both are fantastic musicians.

That may be true among real music afficianados, but on the few occasions I introduced Mike to people I knew, they always asked "Are you related to Pete?" before I could explain Mike's background in the process of the introduction. I even used to ask him questions about Pete before I learned more about Mike's music, and thought it might be wearing thin with him, anyway. I lived in Glasgow, Va., at the time, right outside Lexington where Mike lived.

There are countless banjo tunings and Mike used lots of them. Here it's f#ADAD. Sadly, Mike is nearing the end of his life. He has battled cancer for years, and has recently taken a turn for the worse. He is now in hospice care at home. Mike's contributions to traditional American folk music are immeasurable.

Anybody have any idea how he tunes his banjo?

Mike used several tunings, but not all were up to concert pitch at all times. sometimes his G tuning was between F & G. He tuned to suit his voice, I guess a lot of G songs were too high for his range. This was pretty common among the older players he learned from, as well. All the Seegers are real treasures.
