Bela Fleck and Gerry O' Connor on Banjo

[megpennywhistle]

More!!!!More!!! PLZ!!!

[guyfihi]

Interesting, five string claw hammer vs four string flat pick. Would like to hear more of that. That Irish boy is holding his own.

[derfeus]

@guyfihi It is 5-string but it's not claw hammer style. Bela is playing single string technique. Claw hammer would be cool though!

[woodybob61]

Is that Bela playing the Irish-style triples? Wow!

[rangeric52]

@woodybob61 No, that's O'Connor playing the triples. Bela is playing accompaniament.

[LuneMortRaiser]

[TheLordbanjo]

[emmagadgee]

[slickrick134]

[banjorol]

[rockinredneck57]

@banjorol They get you hooked and then slam the door on you! I want to hear more!!

[Lewey8705]

No, This is "The Wind That Shakes the Barley", which Bela plays quite often.

[Lochbesda16]

nah man this is definitely maid behind the bar

[tantoonie0]

Yeah, not "The Wind," definitely "Maid."

[Durandal24]

Is this "Maid Behind the Bar"?

[VideoSamaritan]

Thanks for posting! This is the first time I've heard Gerry...he's very good! Oh, one more thing you should be aware of: Bela turns "50" on 10 July'08! If you want to send him a B-day card...here's the address: David Bendett Artists, Inc., 2431 Briarcrest Rd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210. (This is Bela's Manager and he will see that he gets it)

Er, what is your problem?

I see two people playing some banjos and people here complaining as if they were making fun of the Virgin Mary.

I think you kats are drinkin methyl instead of ethyl.

Gerry O'Connor is a legend... one of the most innovative musiciens of his time

[chrisinireland1]

[doogiesoprani]

making a traditional tune into a jazz tune give me barney mckenna anyday keep it played the way it should be .think gerry oconnor thinks the more triplets he plays the more people will like it

[goldenwonderpotato]

hey man, come on-- its always nice 2 mix music and try different things... barney mckenna is a great player but u hav 2 giv it 2 gerry.... changing music like that makes it more appealing and stands out more....... gerry is great at his triplets, please dont diss him like that, it is all part of his style.... listen to him play "neck belly reels" with sharon shannon and get bak to me....

[demzma]

[mcfiddle1]

gerry 'triplet' o connor

[cjs1973]

I was there. The whole weekend was incredible. You've got to go to the Johnny Keenan banjo festival in Longford before you die, everybody should.

[morgoth280]

wicked beggining, but gets a bit crappy towards the end

[francfortois]

Have they played that tune on a CD ?

Or could somedy tell where I can find a MP3 of it?

Or at least the name of the tune?

thanks!

[jjodonne]

Gerry plays it on his CD called "Journeyman" Not this version though.

The tune is called "The Maid Behind the Bar"

[francfortois]

Thanks a lot !
