Greenbriar Boys play Roll on Buddy

[Dulcimerea]

John Herald playing guitar on the Ian and Sylvia recording of Little Beggarman (aka "Old Johnny Dew") was the first time i ever hear cross pick style guitar. At the time back in the northeast I knew not a single guitarist who flat-picked like that... I hadn't seen Doc yet. By the early 70's it seemed that this bluegrass style on guitar style had spread from one amateur folk musician to another across the country pretty quickly, mostly thanks to Doc, Clarence White, John Herald and some others.

Bob Yellin is fantastic on the banjo.A distinctive sound indeed

[buchananstreet]

such lovable, unpretentious chaps have gone missing in our times now, snif !!!

[mrjohnnyagogo]

I  was wrong that is Pete Seeger.

[bulbheadmyass]

Awesome. They were so young. I discovered them in the 60's when I used to play the Greenwish Village scene, and this brings back such memories. Thanks for this treasure.

[MsCaudill]

there not singing about harlan, Ny . there singing about harlan, Kentucky. "long way to harlan long way to hazard" hazard is the city in perry county just a little out from harlan, the 'coal fields" i should know, since i live in hazard. :)

[George4the]

Never saw this one before. Nice! Although

my favorite song by them is Aligator Man.

Es duro para un ateo descubrir que la gloria existe. He aquí la gloria.

[porkinwitz]

music is good for the soul,.......

[buchananstreet]

@podremio , absolutamente cierto ! y si escuchas la version de BILL MONROE, aun mas !! saludos!

[podremio]

@buchananstreet Es evidente que con Bill Monroe juegas sobre seguro. Más saludos.

[buchananstreet]

@podremio , enfin, jejej ..que le vamos a hacer ? mejor SEGURO Y BUENO que inseguro y OLVIDADO en tres dias como lo de hoy en dia ..... pero los LOUVIN BROTHERS tambien me gustan y JIM AND JESSE; of course ...

[podremio]

@buchananstreet, Inseguro y olvidado lo de hoy en día... Yo no sería tan suave. Yo cada vez que escucho western swing previo a los 40, Jimmie Revard, Roy Newman, Modern Mountaneers, Buchanan Brothers... me doy cuenta de que Robert Crumb tenía bastante razón, aunque sea un poco exagerado, al afirmar que la música murió al desaparecer los discos de pizarra.

[buchananstreet]

@podremio , pues debo confirmar que cuanto mas descubro, mas razon te doy: no se si los buchanan brothers tendran algo que ver con FRANK BUCHANAN que fue cantante de bluegrass y socio temporalmente de bill monroe?! cuanto mas descubro de estas maravillas ( como los recomendabilisimos MAINER MOUNTAINEERS), mas panico y asco me da reconocer que este mundo actual ESTA MUERTO ESPIRITUALMENTE y cada vez mas: pero esta musica de los 30 supera hasta la de los 60 y 70 ...

[podremio]

@buchananstreet , plenamente de acuerdo. Aquello sí era música llena de vida y alma, lejos de obsesiones comerciales exacerbadas que vinieron posteriormente.

[podremio]

@buchananstreet Con Bill Monroe juegas sobre seguro. Más saludos.

[cabinbowman]

Really enjoyed this...Never seen it before...Thanks for posting it!!!

[banjoman5424]

[quinnfilmfest]

I believe it is Jim Buchanan

[cyrillo9]

@quinnfilmfest Yes it is Jim B., cheif of police of Chapel Hill North Carolina back then. Have you heard them do "Amelia Earhardts Last Flight?"

[skiibachs]

@quinnfilmfest It is Jim Buchanan

[ray8up]

Rock on !

[playmorebluegrass]

Luv the old songs:)

[pickinvidders]

QFFest, the words they're singing make this a sort of mixture of "Nine Pound Hammer" and "Roll on Buddy".

Frank Wakefield replaced Ralph Rinzler on mandolin sometime before this video was recorded. The show is called Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest.

[collingsmando]

Hey Hoffmannia-

I went and looked at some of *your* videos. You're real good.

Tiny Tim would be proud that somebody loved his music so much they imitated it.

[collingsmando]

You should hear what he said about you!

[hoffmannia2k6]

Frank is a real jerk

[reillyevan]

Yes, it Pete Seeger, hosting the Greenies on his teevee show "Rainbow Quest".

[mrjohnnyagogo]

Sorry not Pete Seeger, that is Ralph Rinzler my mothers 2nd Cousin. Google him.....he's pretty damn' famous!

[reillyevan]

I know who Ralph Rinzler is/was; that is Pete Seeger playing his trademark long-neck Vega banjo, hosting the band, in this video.

[Spicysmurf21]

He's right... I'd know my Grand uncle from sight, all be it I never met him.

No joke, he was my grandmother's brother.

R.I.P.

[Spicysmurf21]

(Ralph Rinzler)

[bwhenry]

Isn't that Pete Seeger on Banjo, standing?

[collingsmando]

Heh, cool!

I'm going over to Frank's house to pick with him on Sunday. I'll have to mention I saw this.

Sad about John Herald.

[hankmacgregor]

Can you say Hi to Frank from his love child Hank MacGregor fa bonny Scotland

[saullouis]

The boys brought bluegrass to NY City. Thanks guys, you changed my life. Yes, sad about John.

[banjobilly32]
