Yeah I have, he is really good, got some of his stuff in my collection. I love the way they want to saw the fiddle in half, gonna check that channel, thanks to the heads up...
That he was. I was reading just the other day that Kenny Baker said he spent a lot of time with Tommy, who was a big influence on his playing with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys.
The banjo player is Blanton Owen, who was also a folklorist and a private pilot. He often played banjo when Mike would take Tommy out on tour. Blanton also recorded with the Fuzzy Mountain String Band. Sadly, he died in a plane crash in 1998. It should be mentioned that this footage and much more (including Roscoe Holcomb, Dock Boggs and Kilby Snow) is for sale in a video titled "Shady Grove - Old Time Music from North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia" available from Stefan Grossman's guitarvideos dot com. www.guitarvideos.com/Products/vestapol-dvds/shady-grove-old-time-music-from-north-carolina-kentucky-and-virginia#.WYt30a2ZPOY
@@hcpmp Yes, I was about to reply the same. I have that video, too. I think someone told me it was shot at a college campus concert. I only met Blanton once, only a few years before he crashed his plane. He flew his plane out to California (from Nevada, I think) with his girlfriend to see Tom Sauber and Mel Durham in a house concert I organized for Tom. He was still playing that Kyle Creed banjo with the white fingerboard.

Was this shot at the Merry Go Round?
Anyone know the name of the third song?
Any way to find out the tunings he used on these tunes?
The boll weevil blues is played by him in DDAD.
@@merlinwenkel8204 ahhh...that's the "Bonaparte's Retreat" tune...I have a Tommy album with tunings listed...some are AEAD...AEAE
@@lonesomelou4188 Yeah! That's also a very nice DDAD tune as Tommy Jarrel plays it ! (Not to confuse anybody, the "boll weevil" is the song at 03:08).

Bunnman21 that’s what it looks like when you use a dusty rosin and don’t wipe the instrument off once in a while 🙂
Whatever it is I need some on my fiddle.
