wonderful. I love real music played by real people. I'm certain that if I were sitting in this room it would sound even better; not completely different live like the technologic music created mostly today.
Excellent! I've had the extreme pleasure of seeing 2 of these musicians live - Bruce Molsky (playing with Alasdair Fraser, Natalie Haas, Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill) and Jerry Douglas (with AK+US) and they are top-notch instrumentalists. Always a treat to hease something from them.
eh. its played pretty much about the right speed. think saying the phrase "shove that pig's foot further in the bed"... that's about the speed you should be playing this one... at least that's where I've heard it played...

Phil's actually playing a Cittern, very similar to and Irish Bouzouki, but not quite.

Didn't know Phil Cunningham could play bouzouki... Doesn't particularly surprise me, though!

Much of American music comes out of this tradition. Folk, Country Western, Bluegrass, Gospel Music etc.

Who is the one solitary viewer out of 85 that gave this great clip a "don't like it"?

You don't even have to see his face in the beginning of the clip - to know it's Jerry Douglas on Dobro!

Excellent. Just pick up your instrument and play along. Feels great. Everyone should learn to play this. At this speed.
Music doesn't have to be complex to feel good.

Not worth arguing about 3 or 4 beats/minute either way . .

Great tune . . but whats best about it is it's played at a steady pace. A lot of old time tunes (in my humble opinion),are played too quickly.
