Half Past Four -- Bruce Molsky

[fred19901025]

Lol that's bouzouki THE great Donal Lunny, not nameless player

[surreypasty]

Wonderful!

[4bumbler]

I believe Ali Bain is there too !

What a brilliant bouncy session

[EricFlatpick]

Cookin'!!

[rainharper62]

love this!

[bluegrasscannuk]

Is it the same person that doesn't like this one that put a thumbs down on the other clip? Hey fella - you're watching the wrong channel.

[frenchfiddlegirl]

Why is Jerry Douglas holding the flute that way? The flute is supposed to go out to the right, not the left. Is the Irish flute different?

[frenchfiddlegirl]

@frenchfiddlegirl Excuse me, I mean Michael McGoldrick

[JohnSelma]

It is Michael Goldrick on flute, Jerry is playing the dobro as he usually does. The nameless mandola player is also holding his instrument left handed BTW.

[Longhill7]

That nameless mandola player (who, I think, is playing bouzouki) is Donal Lunny =)

[JohnSelma]

It must be - I know he often plays on these sessions.  I called him nameless because his name is not listed. He would be playing bouzouki although on that video you can't see the full length of the neck. Phil Cunningham also plays a bouzouki on the Transatlantic Sessions, but he plays right handed and it is a very different instrument1 with a much larger sound box.

@JohnSelma

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but Phil Cunningham plays a Cittern, not a bouzouki, which accounts for the larger sound box and more strings.

you know I have been hearing so much about this guy and how great he is, but man wheres the soul. Is too clean of oldtime fiddling a good thing, what would Tommy Jarrel have to say about this fellow I wonder.

[darolanger]

well, since Bruce went and lived with Tommy and studied with him, I imagine that Tommy had a generally positive take on Bruce. Don't make uninformed judgements about 'soul' from a highly produced overseas tv show, please. Those who have not been fortunate enough to be in a room with Bruce Molsky and experience his playing in person are missing one of the most volcanic and life-changing experiences any musician could ever have.

[Celticats]

Darol, how right you are. And you should know!

[ArkRed1]

Nice version, but I like Rachel's version at Cliff Top better. It just seems to have more balls to it. Bruce is one fine fiddler though.

[ssrm13]

Bruce amazing as always-nice to hear in a bit of a different context-not just Old Time

But OLDTIME RULESOF COURSE...

[tridentum]

My favorite Ed Haley fiddle tune. Molsky rules.

[banana51287]

[TheBachands]

Love the tune, the arrangements & we're big Bruce Molsky fans! 5 stars!

[Clawhammerinfool]

I have this on my Bruce Molsky disc but never saw it on video till now. We listen to Bruce in the barn all the time.....awesome stuff...

[sprothan2]

Now I'm about to start learning it!!!!!

[Jorsh123]

Just started learning this song on the fiddle. In the year and a half I have been playing the instrument, I have never had the opportunity to play such a hard and outstanding tune!

[UncleDanEmmet]

Bruce is the Best.
