I can't help but notice the eyebrow roll, nerves do it to me every time... I only wish I was any where near as good as you!!! I've gotta learn that tune!!

[ComradeMorshu]

Great playing, cool dog too!

Many thanks!

[banjoman1437]

is this from the version from his albumn Things in Life?

[Wishuey]

No, until your question I hadn`t realized Don Stover had recorded it; just Googled it and it`s great, as all of Don`s stuff was.

I first heard the tune back in the `50s by the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, a wonderful old early bluegrass group. The banjo player was either Larry Richardson or Charlie Cline, Curly Ray Cline`s brother; not sure which.

Thanks for telling me about Stover`s version (identical but faster). I`ll order a copy!

[banjoman1437]

yeah, the albumns name is,"Don Stover Things in Life."

Thanks, and the same to the other folks who`ve commented.

Somehow, I had "blocked" myself and couldn`t post responses for awhile.

Folks over seventy shouldn`t mess with computers........

[Wishuey]

Many thanks!

[banjocam]

I heard that song on a bluegrass cd I had a few years back. I was starting to learn it - now I can revisit it - thanx dude

[2ndfret]

Good job I remember the fiddlers playing that in bluefield WV I think Charlie Cline played the 5 on that one I like your style keep er down to earth..

[Wishuey]

Thanks John. I just put "Charlie Cline Lonesome Pine Fiddlers" in Google; found all sorts of stuff. They were a great band, much under rated.

Pete

[2ndfret]

The lonesome Pine Fiddlers were under rated as was The Lilly Bros. with Don Stover playing superb Banjo Another group I used to hear a lot of was Hack Johnson and the Tennaseans with Allen Shelton The most under rated was Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain boys with Walter Hensley playin as good a banjo as I have heard in my 70 years.

[Wishuey]

Holy Moly! You`ve just named three of my all-time favorites! I heard the Lilly Brothers several times up in Cambridge, Mass. Stover was amazing.("Things in Life") I`ve got a bunch of Hack Johnson`s records; think it was Shelton playing "Home Sweet Home",and spent many an hour listening to Earl, Walter and "Boatwhistle" at the Club 79 in Baltimore. GREAT stuff!

[jocwalk]

You have to love "Lost in This World" by the LPF. That is a really fun song to play.

[Beejeezus]

Haha i love this. I love the banjo and i love the image you bring to it. You just look perfect for the banjo and you even have the hound dog laying there. I LOVE IT!

[Wishuey]

Thanks for the kind words!

[funnykid100]

Awesome! ill never be that good!

[Wishuey]

Thanks. Stick with it and you`ll be a lot better.

[BanjoRedneck]

Good job... We need more people like you on you tube... 5 stars from me

[Wishuey]

Thanks!

[Wishuey]

Thanks. I checked out a few of your tunes and you`re miles ahead of me. My Gibson, according to the serial number, started out as a 1931 style 3 archtop, 2 piece rim plectrum, converted along the way into a one piece rim style 4 "Granada" flattop 5-string. I`ve had it in this form for many years and suspect the conversion was done at least fifty years ago, probably earlier.

What`s the story on yours? It sounds super.

[Granada90]

Nice job there on that minner-dipper. What year is your Granada?

[Wishuey]

The dog is my guitar player but her paws hurt that day...

[Ichimaru91]

Good :) why don't you play with a guitarist ?

[babior6]

that was great, im just learning to play foggy mountin at the minute

[Wishuey]

Thanks. Stick with it and you`ll be a whole lot better than me in a year or so.
