Awesome playin' ! The fiddler looks taken away to heaven
Wow, I've watched, or listened to this video a few times now, but just revisited and really watched it. Man, for one, what a time machine of people and playing this is. In 1987, I was still fearful of crossing over the hills from Kentucky eastward, even to Galax. It all seemed so far away and removed from the "old time" as we saw it in Kentucky. Hahaha! But the first person I really knew and played with, that exposed me to great fiddling and the fact that a cooler and broader world of "old time" existed beyond Ky was your brother Jamie. That was at Scotty Holbrook's cabin and 15-18-year-old me playing with the Bottom of the Barrel Bunch. I'm completely blown away to see in this video - Jamie, one of my earliest teenage fiddling influences, standing right next to Jon Bekoff, the great fiddler, friend, and mentor from much later in my life when I lived in Vermont. And, for sure of course Jeb, Rose, and Keith, all of which, who have meant the world to me as humans and growing me into a banjo playing musicaneer over the years. Dang, this video is priceless ethnographic intel on so many levels that I could write a small book or at least a comic book on these 9 minutes and 15 seconds from 1987 alone. Thanks, Dave, for having the energy, skill, and passion to all the documenting you've done over the years. It means tons!!
First tune I've heard with the bass hearable, Great playing!
When to GALAX in 851 Great music Great time!
Fantastic video!

😂😂😂😂😂
Jeb was the cutest kid. One time I made him laugh so hard on their bus he almost fell out of his bunk.
Pure gold.
This is great.
I love the Old Time Fiddlers Conversation in Galax! These guys are kOoL, btw.
I just connected this to Donna.
Definitely Charleston number 1
Old Old Gold!
Thank You!!
Wow what a trip!
OMG, that's so fantastic!
Sounds like Narmour & Smith's Charleston Number 1 - but in D rather than C
I have to agree with you, same basic tune, different title. I don't recall any versions played at the speed which Jeb Puryear uses.
Purely by chance a couple hours after my last message i was checking out a vinyl album by Don Stover "Thing in Life". Side 1, track 1 is "Done Gone" played bluegrass style
Dave, to me this sounds like "Done Gone" which was recorded by Eck Robertson in 1922 and also the Kessinger Brothers in 1929 but at a slower pace. Clayton McMichen and Lowe Stokes are among others. It is of course possible that "Apple Blossom" is another name for the same tune.
Charleston #1
@@rafestefanini9239 Guess I'll have to go back and listen again
@@rafestefanini9239 I listened to Doc Roberts version of Charleston No. 1 and then saw a later version by Don Borchelt here on you tube where he states:
Don Borchelt
The high part of this Mississippi fiddle tune sounds a little like Done Gone.
So I guess I am easily confused. C'est la vie.
@@Backup6Box Done Gone is basically Charleston #1 in B-flat.
Old time music scene is ……a scene.
