  • He loved music, Hemis, beer...and me, maybe, a little...The world is poorer now.

  • He's blowing into a jug the whole song! He was the master!

  • Does anyone know what instrument that is he's blowing into at the beginning?

  • He was a great guy! I was thrilled to get to meet and play some music with him.

  • Fritz was an old and very dear friend of mine. I miss him so very much but seeing him play makes me smile. Thank you for posting this.

  • Thanks to everyone for your comments! There is a video documentary that features Fritz talking called "Chasin' Gus' Ghost" about jug band music. Something worth checking out if you can get hold of it!

  • he is my great uncle:)

  • You should see what he could do with a washtub bass...! But now he's gone... He was a Hot Rodder too.

  • Great video!

    Don't be shy about getting these imperfect videos up; a glimpse is better than nothing. It's so great that this performance has been preserved!

  • Just discovered the guy, this is great! I love jug band music!

    Rest In Peace!

  • Well... the ol' boy's not with us anymore I'm sorry to say. About three years ago he succombed to cancer in thr throat.

  • Yes, I know. That's partly why I decided to post the video, even though it's low quality - it was a great performance by a master! He was a great guy, too.

  • Not often one sees an extended solo on the jug! Impressive!

  • Fritz was the best!
