These guys are amazing. One of the coolest bands around. Sure wish more people played in ''C-Bass'' or whatever you want to call it. Thanks so much for posting!
Anybody know of anyone else around that plays like Poole, Dock Walsh, or Wilmer Watts? I'm figuring a lot on my own but sure have some unsolved mysteries.
Cheers.

@Waurd2 But Charlie's wife was Posey's sister and therefore Kinney's great - aunt, so Kinney was his great nephew But like you said, great video anyway

Awesome stuff! Love the sound of that banjo. Great to get a bit of insight into Charlie's distinctive style.
And Bob Carlin rockin' the rhythm guitar like it's nothin! Great vid.

banjofolk - I think you have to change the facts a bit; Kinney Rorrer is actually great nephew of Charlie Poole's fiddler Posey Rorer. Clifford Rorrer was nephew to Posey Rorer and father of Kinney Rorrer.
Anyway, great video!
