You young men and women will do fine at carrying the torch,

Wow! Like, who knew? Yo, how did Robert Johnson and Leadbelly and Andres Segovia Ever get ALONG without this stuff???!!!! Think of the music they could have made. People would STILL be talking about them. z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

Another fine track. See Mike Seeger's fine recordings for the rest.

Quite probably. . . Sen. Byrd used to mention that Thomas Jefferson was a fiddler, too.

Listen to the duet fiddle styles with the fiddles tuned one whole tone low, or in a mix of open and low tunings. Listen to the pure, unaffected and heartfelt vocals. That sound is rare today. Dewey, WIil, Rodney, your memory is as green as a live oak, as much here in California where you were...

From his works to his fine singing to his wonder liner notes to his translations . . . a great great man and a great influence.

I remember the Chambers Brothers from the Xanadu Coffeehouse on Melsors Avenue in the early 1960s in Los Angeles. They would come in after their sets elsewhere and play informally. They deserve the highest national honors, long overdue. Always grateful to have known them so long ago.

Superb performance. I would love to know more about this fine singer and interpreter.
