coming on at 7:15 y'all! good morning

Gotta tune those banjos, got it!

good mornin' all

how did i know 'deliverance' HAD to be featured lol

how could i not

:)

very interesting!

An international twist to start off with! <3

all this lovely banjo is reminding me of early Mumford & Sons

Beautiful! Great show. Fiddle on Five Miles from Town is so wonderful

I'm also dancing wishbone...

yeaaaahhhh groovin in my chair

tee-hee!

Great version of Groundhog by Doc Watson but it was not with David Grisman. It was from this release: https://docwatsonandgaithercarlton.bandcamp.com/album/doc-watson-and-gaither-carlton

oh my you're so right! my mistake

yeah just got screwed up. thank you for the correction! fixing the playlist

Doc recorded Groundhog multiple times. Always a fun song. He worked with David Grisman later in his life (1990s-2000s)

interesting!

Love Railroad Bill. Great take on that classic from Crooked Still. They were a great young band doing some fine things in the 00s and the members went on to do even more. Aoife and Rushad especially.

What is the definition of perfect pitch? Throwing your accordion into a trash dumpster and it lands on a banjo.

Loved the show! Learned a lot about Banjo!

I parked in a rough neighborhood and left my banjo in the car. I returned to my car to find one of the windows broken.... and someone left another banjo in the car....

TY Wishbone :)

That's a really good one. I really like that one.

everybody have a great week!
