Hello City Limits-Red Allen & The Kentuckians

[RenateRoggen]

It's a little bit flat of C, almost half a semitone.

is this one step down in b or what i can't in tune with this

[TruegrassBoy]

@bluegrassman776 I don't have my banjo out but my guess is Bb. A lot of these older recordings were sped up slightly to make them brighter. Flatt and Scruggs even tuned their instruments up a half step to get the same effect.

[KrisAllen8686]

I don't know if bill was on this recording but I can find out , but yes Porter was an amazing man , I only got to meet him a few times and was a kid .

[KrisAllen8686]

Well only once now that I think about it , but was so young I have a lot of trouble even remembering it lol

[tallbea]

I think it is Bill Emerson on an archtop

[TruegrassBoy]

This is some of Red's best stuff - and backed up by Porter Church on banjo I'll bet. Way cool! Aoooouuuiieeeee! Love you Red!

I love this! I miss one person who closed his channel and used to play banjo for us.
