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.

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 !

I truly love all Hillbillies and their music!

Beg pardon? Round Peak and Cumberland are very very difference. It's like the difference between Baroque and Classical music, if you listen to the greater genres, the smaller genres sound completely different.

About 30 years ago I found a mike Seeger 8-track tape in a gas station music bin. I was so happy to find that tape. I could not figure out how the hell a Mike Seeger 8-track got to a Gas station in Michigan. Then the light went on and I knew they were sent the wrong tape. It was supposed to be Bob Seeger. Strange things

that is soooo, very very far off from fact, my simple, simple little fellow human. In fact, clawhammer is a VERY typical style! It very seldom varies from a familiar pattern!
