Muriel Anderson - Old Joe Clark - CAAS 2006

[blackadder102]

Nicely done. Music for my soul.

[ecurbdnyl]

This is Angelina Baker - not Old Joe Clark

[tripwire1000]

this just blows my mind

[oldtones]

WOW THE LADY IS GREAT

[pickinanddreamin]

It is cool, but it's more like a medley of Old Joe and Sally Goodin.

[Ratbug56]

unreal

[tersian]

I think I'm in love.

[fngrpkn06]

Awesome!

[micmoable]

excellenlty-talented lady---wish my picking was that good!

[yarddogphotography]

great fun

[diabinhoUSA]

C.G.P. 'nuff said

[wileypayote]

there's no way she can be this good and at so many different styles. not because she's a woman, I've just never seen anyone play like her before. She amazing.

[phiddler3]

I'm in love . . .

[proverbs2221]

Yep! :) Angelina Baker, Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Old Joe Clark.. :)

[1dumbbird]

Snap! ...Then she broke into Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Awesome!

[newcountrylover]

bravissima ed anche bella what else is missing ? bohhh

[petmaster495]

I love the way the guitar sounds. She's awesome!

[mmiles54]

THATS NOT OLD JOE CLARKE. Its Angeline the Baker.

[japavlic1]

It really ticks me off when people say that music stopped after Beethoven, Bach, Mozart etc. Music is constantly evolving and it is becoming more diverse as the years go by! Just because they were geniuses does not mean that there are no musical prodigies living today. I've seen a lot of people and there are ones out there who are highly musically gifted who have brought audiences to their feet but, a good majority of them do not get noticed because people do not want to listen to them!

[abelprinceabel]

cette jeune femme est une paysanne qui tapote; c'est pas de la musique; aucune sensibilite, rien. ça vaut certainement pas 5 etoiles.

[zlinkguza]

it must be a hard piece one there..

hoowiyaahh..!

[TzzX78]

she can be my wife any time she is talented and sweet as apple pie.

[bopbopbobert]

unbelievably sweet

[Aficionadorientalis]

Fastest fingers in the West!

[14thetruth]

Oh joy another person showing how they can imitate other instruments, playing is nice - rotuine is old and overdone these days.

[GoodOldGar]

Muriel has been doing it for years, and she is one of the very best. Far as I know, still the only woman to ever win the national fingerpicking competition.

[playmorebluegrass]

looove it!

[matthewpurpura]

Chichies Christ!

[acdc951]

damn

[FurioNfromHell]

I'm very impressed... really nice!

[chucklikestofish]

your playing is nothing but awesome,i play guitar ,you are awesome,

[manueloin]

woooooow! I loved it

[pickinben]

thats mighty fine, but its not ol' joe clark, its angelina baker.

[gtrrobster]

it'sa both

[RayBthesecond]

SHOOOOT i ken do dat with my eyes closed...But den i wake and realize i was just dreaming great playing Muriel!

[exhausthanger]

Very Nice.

[jayewo]

there's no soul in it, she's just fast.

[BanjoTreve]

Open your eyes man....

[Cyrloud]

yé!! i love it ! very good ! thanks

[nancywarren]

1:24, she fixes her hair and uses her left hand to keep playing. That has to be part of the show. I have a new guitar hero!

[GoodOldGar]

Yes it is, she always does that.

[gtrrobster]

i think it is also a reference to Merle Travis who would at times wipe his hand on his pants w/o losing the groove. Just being silly and clever :)

[dennismp]

Awesome. Flat-out.

[oilwise]

she is REALLY good! I purchased her "Innovations" Instructional CD. Does anyone know how old she is?

[walkflydesign]

I'm guessing around 12,000 give or take a couple.

[GoodOldGar]

doing some quick arithmetic, based on how long it's been since her first recording, I'd say somewhgere just north of 40, although she looks much younger (don't we all?).

[Iplayabanjo]

i've seen her thrice, she's very nice, i gave her a jolly rancher, ginerale, and a pretzel rod, which she was thankful for

[confederateson13]

i've been bragging on that girls playing ever since i saw the video

[victorolden]

very nice

[KingTabor]

is she playing a NYLON stringed guitar??

[banjobilly32]

Finger pickin Good! I've never seen better, what range!

[PublicYahoo]

I'm not familiar with this artist but

she makes complex multipart playing look easy.

[maurieer]

Muriel is simply AWESOME.

Such a beautiful lady!!

If i could play a fraction of

how Muriel can play, i`d put a video

on youtube.

[pedalsteelguy]

I'm in love

[resopicker]

This it titled "Old Joe Clark" but she plays it like "Angeline The Baker", lol. Amazing musician.

[barflew]

I met her 12-06-01 in Dallas. A truly gorgeous woman and fabulous musician. WOW.

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

What has being a woman got to do with it? That makes it seem like a test of strength. You say it yourself though, she's a monster technician. I just feel there is an emotional detachement between the music and her state of being.

The only annoying part is that you can't do it? What's so annoying about that.

[RockMeToDeath]

If I could fingerpick and play that good, I'd be smug too!  Man, she is hot!

[Eliteguitarschool]

Hi Muriel... Long time no see, that was sweet.

[audiophile85]

i wonder if she's ever dropped the guitar

[SunsetSix]

She's a cutie... a fun cutie, that's fer sure!

[ion507]

good job

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

awesome playing, but the smugness gets a bit annoying after a while.

[shiftyjaijai]

yeah she is a bit smug and now you've said that I can hear it in music but she is danm good but annoying

[6StringPassion]

I've met her twice, and attended a workshop. She's very cordial. She's fun to just sit and talk with. My goodness, if you find HER annoying, I feel for ya, dude. Get help.

[empiremonkey]

You've never seen real Bluegrass then.... it's not smugness. It's modesty.

[JimmyDeLocke]

Amen Brother. When you play like that what are you supposed to do -- sit there and act insecure? Muriel is the only woman ever to win the national fingerpicking championship at Winfield. She's a bonafide monster technician, a great entertainer and a beautiful spirit to boot. Check out her duet with Tommy E. on "Vincent"

[JimmyDeLocke]

You're kidding me, right? The only annoying part is that you can't do that.

[YOUYOU47]

Obviously you've said something wrong... this is for the real connoisseurs!

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

such offensive comments that I made, as in "awesome playing"

[bopbopbobert]

thank you Muriel, thank you You Tube, thank you tampafred

[raytimson]

this is not old joe clark.. she starts with angeline the baker and goes into foggy mountain breakdown

[86meplease]

Who cares its good

[ODSTAce]

dude she played for my college and when she played this she. rocked. it. out!!!! though she reminds me of jack nicholson's impression of the joker back in the day when she smiles haha

[guitar4007]

This proves not all angels play harps. What a talent; what a beautiful person!

[SicTransitGloria1982]

ROFL, loved the 1:38 bit!

[Pkw101]

shes got small hands yet uses a big classical, why doesnt she get a guitar with out such a fat neck?

o well shes amazing!

[csss666]

omg i'm in love

[ehsanul]

what's that she does at 1:38??? :S making fun of tommy emmanuel? or what?

[Rexicano]

I hope so, she's so much better than he is.

[hiddentalent123]

Wow excellent

[Iplayabanjo]

I saw her live, it was amazing, she did this song and went into foggy mountain breakdown, and me being a musician i appriciate her and everything she is doing as a musician as overlooked as she is, i gave her a peice of candy... she appriciated it

[oilwise]

My GOODNESS! Both HER and GUITAR playing are BEAUTIFUL!

[bobdwilliams]

OMG!!!

[marklathem]

Great clip, but the tune is "Angeline the Baker"--not "Old Joe Clark."

[apekont]

She is an Angel

[BanjoBoog]

Very very very very very nice.

[MattAlexan]

Her version of 'Nola' is also very good!

[davewjw]

That looks absurdly difficult, and she can sort her hair out while playing.

[geeflat]

I think I'm in love.

[gake]

Move over Halle, this is the most attractive woman in the world.

[mida87]

Its very good and relaxed playing

[cedwin]

Just great!

[fngrpckr]

So relaxed and effortless!
