excellent selections tonight, loved the Tommy Thompson biography, especially the reference to John Falstaff. I have to ask, are the Red Clay Ramblers acquaintances of your's? I see why they call it new timey music, not quite the repetitious A & B melody of old timey, but a step towards bluegrass with the old timey feeling still intact. I greatly enjoyed that, thanks my friend.
I've been a huge fan of old timey music for many decades, I have hours and hours of video tape from the 80s of local midwestern old timey groups, I just need the time to break it all down into individual performances. Here's one that I did break down, it's of The Volo Bog Trotters from the Chicago area, with yours truly doing the (terrible) camera work.
Along with trad blues, old timey needs to be carried into the future, not to be forgotten, and there are several very good contemporary musicians doing just that. The music is timeless and is the foundation.
Thanks again, smiley, I truly appreciate tonight's vignette, and yes, all thoughts to yourself and cw and his wife. Peace.
Yes, the Hill is home and the first RCR violinist and I worked in the same drugstore in my very little hometown. I did the soda fountain. Later, the band took roots. Then in New York in my early heydays, Sam Sheppard ruled. "Where did all this corn come from?" Closer working relationships at that time, the mid-to late seventies.
Haven't spent the time you have with early music at all; I've a little knowledge about music.
During the same time period of the early RCR development, James Taylor with his sheep dog would drink 25 cent national beers with us in the New Establishment in the afternoon on Franklin Street.
conversation with Joe a lot. It gives me a glimpse about sides of American culture I had never contact to and somehow JtC and you emanate a little bit of heart and soul that gives me a good feeling and lets me forget my constant bickering about my host country I have so many difficulties with to feel at home at and to understand. Thank you. Good thoughts to all of you.

Hey Johnny, good music, no?
Yes, the Hill is home and the first RCR violinist and I worked in the same drugstore in my very little hometown. I did the soda fountain. Later, the band took roots.

Lucky times, creative times, not to be forgotten.
Good Night, Smiley, I enjoy your vignettes and your

I trust we can all grow closer on this site of goodwill and intent. Forgive me when I wander.
