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!
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.
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.

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!

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