Jim & Jesse - 1976 - I Wonder Where You Are Tonight

[secarveryouification]

What kind of guitar was Jesse playing?

[8413tomhath]

That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'

Upon my window pane tonight

And tho' your love was even colder

I'll wear your underwear tonight

[bruceafoot]

These guys were the absolute best. I remember being on their bus with them way back when helping them eat Jesse's birthday cake! God must love Bluegrass to have called Jim home when he did!

[pookah53]

I got to meet Jesse and see him up close jamming with David Grisman about a month ago. Jesse is 83 years old today and still going strong and exploring new directions. He just released a Grateful Dead tribute CD.

[enforcer254]

[jtraske]

i love jim and jesse. i just dont care for the cross picked mandolin. just my opinion. boys could sing like birds.

[TheANN1958]

Mercy, I have not heard these boys in a long time...........love them!!!

[allendale1962]

I just smiled and clapped my hands vigorously on this one! Sincerely, Allen Dale..

[shelnik71]

the beginning of so many of their songs are identical......the start of this one sounds like "using my bible for a roadmap", i have found alot of that over the years, my dad would start playin, and it took me a minute to figure out what song it was, so i could sing. ha ha.

[Smasher5257]

Awesome! Who is that fiddle player?

[welshhillbillyful]

@Smasher5257 Joe Meadows.

[mrrhum]

@Smasher5257 - That is Joe Meadows

[katasstophe]

Love these guys, and this song.

[nbacura]

This is a great song....fantastic pair

[glipzik]

Actually Johnny Bond wrote this around 1940. I don't know if he recoded it  but his pal Jimmy Wakely recorded it in 1941.

[rrman2006]

You just can't beat their harmony, and great cross picking, too!! They're the best!!

[3martijns]

Yeah I wonder where they are after 33 years.

I had not heard this in many years, but remember what a big hit it was.

[ralph5656]

@3martijns Getting old like the rest of us. One has passed away but his music lives on. Ralph

[briartlaw]

Thanks for posting all of their great songs 5****** to you..

[bulbheadmyass]

Totally melted. Thanks for this great  one.

[8907box]

Love Jesse's fabulous mandolin crosspicking starting at 1.49. This is so good, it can stand as an instructional video. Cheers.

Love their harmonies.

[baldie194859]

whoever don,t like these boys don,t like music.

[WEIRDALROXMYSOX]

Man this song is purty, my Grandpa Gene [actually just a fella I call Grandpa] sings this song all the time, man he sounds just like Jesse. Thanks for posting!

[welshhillbillyful]

This song has never sounded  better.Johnny Bond wrote it in the late forties.

[wbottle]

Jeez, that looked like a young John Sheldon breaking in on the chorus :)

[banjoist123]

Anybody identify the banjo player? thanks in advance.

[jnorthey1992]

The banjo player is Garland Shuping. He is from North Carolina and was replaced eventually by (I think) Mike Scott.

[jpbuckley]

The fiddler is Ralph "Joe" Meadows. Joe recorded with the Stanley Brothers in the early 1950s and later toured with Bill Monroe, before joining Jim & Jesse's Virginia Boys. He passed away in 2003. It's great to be able to see and hear him playing again. Many thanks to JimJesseRules for all these fine clips.

[lastnickeldrifter]

great stuff....who's the fiddle player please?
