GRASS VALLEY
I remember when I first drove
With my dad up to Grass Valley
Four hours north of San Francisco
Just outside Nevada City
The road winding through those
Dry brown hills of gold country
I was ten years old and happy
Out of school a week early
We drove past the welcome sign
People playing ’neath the pines
Heard the music floating from the stage
Pitched our tent and walked around
My heart opened to the sound
I didn’t know it then
But my life had turned a page
Standing ’round jamming
To the sounds of Little Annie
Baptized in the campgrounds of Grass Valley
Deadheads in tie-dye array
Dawg music devotees
Like nothing I’d ever heard or seen
It was jamgrass for the hippies
Old stuff from the fifties
Just about nothing in between
I stood and tried to play along
Though I only knew a couple songs
While bolder kids sat in with the bands
I watched and envied from afar
Head bowed down over my guitar
Prayin’ to catch that magic in my hands
Standing ’round jamming
To the sounds of Little Annie
Baptized in the campgrounds of Grass Valley
Some years have passed now I’m back
Here in the foothills of gold country
Same songs being played
They’re singing in the shade of the pine trees
A shy kid with a mandolin
I can see her on the sidelines staring at me
She looks just like I did
The first time that I came to Grass Valley
Standing ‘round jamming
To the sounds of Little Annie
Baptized in the campgrounds of Grass Valley

Thats my cousin. How awesome is she.
A man and his daughter playing like that. A woman and her dad playing like that. Thanks for posting this one.
Brought a tear to my eye too! The future is bright. 🌈
This is so wonderful. The Tuttle kids are lucky to have Jack as a father and he is lucky to have them. So much talent.
I remember stumbling onto Grass valley when I was 10 years old in 1982. Very similar story. I was there for 38 years. Now I'm in Michigan. This song makes me cry so much I love it. I got to see Molly perform it at Hangtown last year in Grass valley at the same fairgrounds the song is about. Cried there too!
It's safe to say she caught that magic in her hands.
That's correct.
Amen , 😍🥰💖💗💖 she is so beautiful .
I do believe you are right
I’m from GRASS VALLEYYY!!! Welll just Grew up there was born in San Diegoooo!!!
I was privledged to meet Jack Tuttle at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto last month...
He's an amazing musician and a very humble man....
I live near that area go camping around there all the time I never knew there was a song about it. California is God's country.
It's a rare gift to have a voice that moves the human spirt.
Gotta be one proud Dad.
Happy Father’s Day. 😎
Someone gets it!
He was my first mandolin teacher back in 1990! Looking great, Jack.
Wow just wow. This song made me tear up. I remember the first time my dad took me to the Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival, we camped in his old chevy van. My dad was a picker, he'd make his rounds to the various camps and pick all day and night more than watch who was playing on the main stage. This song took me right back to those special times with my dad in Grass Valley. Thank you! ❤
This is so wonderful to hear dad and daughter again….absolutely love this song!
Wow, what a lovely song. I remember in the early '80's, driving my VW bus up to Grass Valley from the Bay Area with my banjo, while home-made cassettes of my favorite record albums primed my bluegrass appetite. I would jam until I was completely wiped out, having put in a long day at the shop that day before driving up, and be sung to sleep by another young man with hard-working hands who seemed to know a thousand songs, and "Sing me back home . . ." What wonderful days those were. Thanks for the memories, Molly.
❤
It is so beautiful to see father and daughter making music in one video. That is a treasure for a lifetime.
I would have loved it if my family could and would have shared my passion with me like that. Instead, when I said I was going to be a musician as a child, it wasn't taken seriously. "Learn something decent first." The phrase of caring parents who, being born during the war, worried about their own children but never really understood them.
So I had to go it alone. I didn't just make music because I wanted to, but because I could never do otherwise.
I literally tear up every time I watch this video. Molly is such an inspiration and seeing her play with her dad is just precious!
I'm not crying, you're crying
Get a life asshole… what kind of shit are you drinking and smoking… I hate idiots who say this..
Maybe you need to go take a shit..
I am crying. Thank you, Mr. Tuttle, for taking your little girl to that festival.
How special is this, feeling tears of joy 😇🙏
What a beautiful song Molly.You have come so far your dad must be so proud.❤️
I grew up in Grass Valley. Afraid it’s not the same city it used to be, but it was a treasure, and I treasure all the memories.
Grass Valley is still a treasure. It’s not perfect but I still wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
Papa avec sa fille 😁
Comme c'est beau!
Molly est resplendissante 👍
Elle joue de la guitare avec tellement de grâce....... Quel talent!
She comes by all that talent honestly. Great stuff.
This lady just a blessing wrapped up in a guitar
Woah when I looked at the thumbnail I thought it was Kirsten Dunst.
Good song!
Thanks Molly! What a breath of fresh air you, Bluegrass and your dad have brought into the world.
This brings back memories of going to bluegrass concerts with my family and enjoying the 50's-70's vibe of the appreciative crowd. Thanks to Molly and her dad.
I was ten years old and happy and out of school early, jamming...wow. And Happy Father's Day, Jack, wow.
I love me some Molly Tuttle. Her voice makes me so happy.
Lovely. Beautiful song, and a wonderful voice. Molly Tuttle... sounds like a great name for a Country star. Meant to be maybe. Sweet place, that Grass Valley. Stay at it. Blessings and all the best. 🙏
La Tuttle shows an unparalleled generosity of spirit in the wonderful song ...
Beautiful song! I lived in Grass Valley almost all my life. My parents still live there.
Well.....looks like you caught that magic in your hands!
The Tuttles are having way too much fun.
How could you not love and like Molly?
Beautiful, one of those that’s hard to sing with out choking up just a little, that’s when you really know the power of the song. Hat tip.
I, also, remember growing up outside Grass Valley! Magical Land!
Perfect before Father's Day
She is something else. One of the greatest flat pickers. What a voice. If that's her Dad he is also awesome. And Sir, can I marry your daughter ? She is a beautiful person in & out! I am a working Lithic Technologist & Musician/composer. God bless you Both!🌹
Wonderful memory with Dad from her youth! "Baptized in the Campgrounds"
Sweetness in a song, story telling with such heart is like a drink of cool water on a hot day
Beautifully sung and played, Molly and Jack!
Lovely Molly, great to see you w your dad again.
Listening to this on Father’s Day with a smile and a happy tear in my eye.
Much love to this beautiful family!
The apple never falls far from the tree❤
This song gives me goosebumps. So many things I can relate to in it. Came back from Grass Valley this morning from a week full of love and memories. That festival will always be my favorite.
I also love Ronnie McCoury's tune named after Grass Valley. check it out
Molly Tuttle's music always makes me smile.
Jukebox Molly and Papa Tuttle. Tune reflects the past but sounds contemporary. Great plan Jack, having kids to jam with in yer Golden Years. Ü♫
Memories of waters flowing about Colfax.😊
Hey, Molly! Just found you through an old-time Palo Alto pal of mine who posted a link to a different song. Love your music! Then I thought, "Huh. Tuttle. I took banjo lessons ages ago from a really great guy named Jack Tuttle." And lo and behold, here he is! Your dad. Gotta love those connections. Thanks for all the great music!
I had the same experience - only Jack taught me fiddle tunes on guitar. Probably in the same small room at Gryphon.
Beautiful Performance of Molly&Jack Tuttle
This is the most graceful song I've held in a long time.Love you guys.
Father and daughter, equally proud of each other.
Oh, ain't this so sweet? My heart is touched.
She certainly has some magic In her hands I love this woman and her voice.
Beautiful story and great performane. Don't get much better than that.
Something so sweet about family harmonies, their playing so spot on also!!Thanks Tuttle's
Some of the best concerts we ever saw was in the auditorium in Grass Valley. Slaid Cleves and Crystal Bowersox come to mind. We made the trek from Sacramento many, many times. We'd have a nice Italian dinner next door at Cirino's and then chill out to the fantastic music. Once when my wife was tournament golfing, I made the trek all by myself to hear a group of folks who got together to play some Steely Dan and they blew me away. Anyone catching my note here should check out Molly's "White Rabbit" - it's my new favorite go-to video.
Dad ROCKS!!! And we met there when you where a Itty bitty one!!! I attended this event for 21 years until I moved to Texas!!!
MOLLY & JACK, YOU GUYS SOUND WONDERFUL AND WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!! 🎶🎶❤❤
Im now hooked. Big fan here, from Australia.
Very nice Molly and Dad.
Lovely song, with the wonderful Molly's voice, played with very good taste
Gave me chills. This great art celebrates how magnificent normal life can be. I hope enough of us learn in time.
Wow... that's my hometown - didn't
think this could be about THAT Grass Valley :) So cool to hear you sing about our town and the bluegrass festival.
Molly apparently your wizardry with the strings was passed down from dear old Dad. Love this song. :-)
We’ll I bet there have been many a fine night of tunes in that room.
Awesome tune, Happy Fathers Day Jack!
Padre e figlia che cantano e suonano insieme, la più bella cosa che c'è...FANTASTICI.
So beautiful picking and singing by Molly Tuttle and her Father the Bluegrass Legend Jack Tuttle. Awesome!👏👏👏
What a touching, expertly played song. Lovely harmony 😊
We first heard Molly at Grass Valley!
Molly’s music brightens my day! Thank you molly and Jack…
Very nice to see you play together. Best wishes to Jack from his Icelandic buddies 😊
Wonderful ... 🤩
Just left the bluegrass festival at Grass Valley. It was amazing to play a bit with your dad. Everyone missed you there!
Loved it possibly song of the year
She is just great...
I love everything about this
Nicely done! Cheers Molly and Jack!!
Oh my, you are so blessed ....
I grew up in Grass Valley .
Sounds like you spent a weekend at Scots Flat or Rollins lake .
For great winter fun check out Cornish Christmas every Friday after Thanksgiving and Victorian Christmas in Nevada City .
Can't drink on the streets anymore 😭😭😭😭 ! What ! It gets cold and schnapps is wonderful !
She caught the magic in her hands that's for sure🥰 and put it in my heart
This as well as many of Molly's performances set fire to the parts of me that would love to grab a friend or two or three and to head out on a long wandering road trip. Music that compels a listener to want to explore is music that I love to listen to. 💞
Wow. So beautiful. Nice’ Molly and Dad!
I got here from hearing this on undercurrents radio and having grown up in Grass Valley - Nevada City 1973-86
Wonderful song, beautifully played. I can see Molly playing this at bluegrass festivals, pointing to a youngster clutching an instrument and saying 'this one's for you'.
Beautiful song, and love to see this video on Father's Day weekend!
Generation's!! pure gold..............😍.......Lefuj
Fabulous what a great song you wrote
Beautiful! from Japan
There's sound and there's music and then there's perfection that transcends both and leads us to pray we see another sunrise and the chance to be embraced.
L💜VELY song and a performance you will cherish as time goes by.
This is priceless...
You'll REALLY know some day. :)
I love your music.💕💕💕
So so sooooo awesome !!!
Shivers crawl up my back ....
"Blood harmony", lovely.
I liked this so much more than I thought I would.
