Riley Baugus and Dirk Powell with Nadine Landry and Sammy Lind, "Waterbound" (Dirk Powell), 08 Feb 2013 at the Laurel Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee Video by Dean Turley
I've heard a few artists in this venue, and played there once myself. It is a cavernous space, and hard to get good sound - need a very skilled sound person unfortunately. This piece is beautifully done on the Transatlantic sessions.
A lot of this kind of thing is about the story behind the song. If the person who shot the video wanted to delete the back story, I'm sure that option was available.
Gary, you're rude! Get an album and listen to it or give your own concert and do it as you wish. This is a performance and you don't dictate what the performer wants to impart to his audience.
Frightening reality that is keeping banjos in tune. Still one of my favourite songs of all time.
Beautiful. I loved hearing the description too as have listened to this song on Dirk's album countless times.

Drink it up, Dirk.

Painful intro.
Three minutes of talking, two minutes of tuning, shut up and play already.
+Gary Hilbers aren't you being rude! This is a portion of a concert where talking and tuning all have their place.

I agree, but the audio in this video is poor quality so I couldn't understand what he was saying.

Every song has a story. In Appalachia, its important to keep the stories alive as well as the songs.
