Tribute to the New Deal String Band

[jitter9]

I have the pleasure of seeing Leroy and his band almost every week at a local BBQ joint in Durham, NC. My 3 year old daughter is a big fan!

Thank you for posting this! I have been searching for more of their music with no luck. Anyone know of where I can find some?

Ahhh...still love Leroy from college days. My brother has some good vid of them.

The boys are going to appear at the Curtis Birch organized NewGrass Reunion Festival in Ky in August. First outing together in some time.

We recorded this in New York City in about a week in 1970. Made about 150 dollars apiece plus rooms in a cheap hotel. We went back later to mix it. Gene went into the Navy and Bob Isenhour joined the group. Thanks Fiddlin Al.

They are in the Chapel Hill, NC area. I bought a mando from Frank years ago. I do not know if they are all living but they do have reunion shows from time to time.
