  • Mike Seeger is one of the first folk musicians I heard. He gave a house concert in 1970 and sat right in front of us and played 5 string banjo, fretless banjo, fiddle and guitar - and sang. Talk about a high lonesome singer! It changed my life forever.

  • @nezpercenathan

    I loved the interviews he did ,especially the one with Dr Ralph Stanley. Like Pete, he never compared musicians- The soul of the music was the most important thing to Mike. Good on you @nezpercenathan !

  • great all around. yall check out this one. i'd been lookin for years this version of this song. search for it as this. Willow Garden - Charlie Monroe. its a goodin.

  • @ladyleesutter The serendipity comment was in response to sandykusted about finding Seeger 8-track in gas station.

  • @sandykhusted Great story! Serendipity rules!

  • @ladyleesutter I'll correct what I just said. I always called such music bluegrass, but strictly speaking it isn't, altho it put me on my bluegrass path. It was actually old-time, traditional, played in the old-time way. These youtube posts serve as a forum for me, educating me. Thanks to all who offer correct info, And show respect to others who comment, along with the shared love of the music and the musicians such as these.

  • Man, he sounds straight from the hills (per my California ear). He even looks like it, No wonder that my first exposure to blue grass in 1965 made me think the New Los City Ramblers were "the real thang." Listening to Mike here all these years later, it's no wonder. And LOVE the closeups of his flying fingers playing the tune. Thanks to whomever shot it and posted. I've listened to a LOT of Darlin Corys, and this is high on my list. Good on the Seeger Bros for all they gave us..

  • One of the best versions I've heard outside of B.F. Sheltons'. RIP Michael, and thanks for teaching us all about this great music. May it never die.

  • @sparksfurr damn straight, he's gonna have st. peter flat footin
