You don't see many jugbands on tv these days! Probably not many in the 60s either. This bunch was notable for having a young Maria Muldaur in the group. She's not on this song but shows up in another song afterward. Great to hear a song about getting high on TV!
@alshouse Sorry, but Kweskin and the Jig band were around long before Dr. D was created....

Maria's not the only one who went on to bigger things. Worth noting that the the fiddler is Richard Greene, and the guy on 5-sting is Bill Keith, who literally wrote the book on Earl Scruggs. Hell, rumor has it that they had God playing mouth harp. Honest to God.

For those who don't know, when pot possession was harsh in the extreme, these guy's were smoking during their performances. Saw them at Sheep's Meadow, great performance and the band and audience were all lighting up.

I stand corrected fine sir. I notice you also mention Fritz, who left quite a legacy in Portland, OR. Of which I now reside. Much love for Fritz here! Lots of fun Jug and Skiffle.

And if you're in the vicinity of Shirley, MA this Friday, Nov. 12, stop by the Bull Run Restaurant and see Jim Kweskin and Geoff Muldaur together in a very special show at 8pm.

@Feist9 my very hep friend...I had two comments below and you'll note the second one honors Bill K. who I just saw in a cool blue grass band with Clarence White video last night...think it's in my favorites (also saw him w/Kweskin at Newport FolK)
