You know Fred, That session was so good you might want to give Bill an uncut copy of it. I KNOW he would be tickled to have it! He speaks very highly of you and your photography as well as the continuing contributions you have made over these many years. I'm sure you'll see him at the Walsh farm in  a few months. It's all the banter between the tracks that make this event so special and I think Bill may have missed a few comments from the 'peanut gallery'.

( I know I would do unspeakable acts to get an uncut copy.)

Tom

Tom,

I'd like to, but I really don't have the time right now. Besides, unfortunately I can't set a precedent that I can't provide for others.

And actually, I don't think I edited out anything significant. I wanted to include as much of the banter as possible.

I completely understand Fred. I didn't really think about what I was asking.  I look forward to getting a few minutes to chat come July. I expect to see Bill tomorrow and will tell him you said "Hey'". Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

JD makes some comments before picking.

Thanks for posting all of these great shows. I'm a recovering taper myself and know very well the all of the hard work that goes into archiving live music. Keep up the great work!

Another great one Fred. Thanks! Does that complete the set, or is there one more? I am trying to get these in order so I can watch them in a series but my mind is already foggy and I'll have to spend an afternoon trying to figure it out. It will be fun anyway.

 Thanks again for all you do, it's great to go back and re-live the moment. Incidentally, at the end of this one, when you do the camera swing to catch the audience, I show up in the background. Good thing you were swinging fast!

Tom

One more coming in a couple weeks. I believe I released them in order.

My first HD video, shot with my wife's Canon still camera.

The Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association presented this event with two great singers.

What a great time, despite a blizzard!

Oh wow, that HD quality is something else.

Wow, no stopping you now Fred. Can't wait to see what you might do with this new tool at Grey Fox!

Tom

Tinfoot and Tom,

Thanks for the comments.

Actually, I hope to use my brand new HD camcorder instead of my wife's camera. I've been dreaming of getting one for at least a couple of years, especially for Grey Fox and the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association.

Hopefully I'll have something to post before next summer.

While this is not banjo, I'd advise you to fasten your seat belts and check out...

Gigue from Bach's D minor Partita by Chris Thile on the Grey Fox 2011 Masters Stage.

It would be great to get these recordings somehow added to this website so everyone can find them.

Roger,

Thanks for your interest.

For now at least, these and all my audio and video recordings are available on my Picking Page.

All my Grey Fox videos are also in this playlist..

Spinney Brothers - I'm Going Back to Old Kentucky - Grey Fox 2011 Masters Stage

I just discovered this videotape of the 2007 Grey Fox Banjo Masters: Greg Liszt, Pete Wernick, & Doc Cullis..

Here's the other tape I just found...

 Eddie Shelton-banjo, Bill Pogue-mandolin, Travis Stewart-guitar.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've made the complete record album available at http://frobbi.org/cutups-record.html

I couldn't have done it without the help of Travis' son Dennis who provided me the audio; and Eddie Shelton's daughter Linda Shelton Brown who provided the album cover image.

By the way, don't forget Dennis had already provided me with the video of the Cut-Ups' TV commercials: http://frobbi.org/cutups.html

I'm proud to announce I've now been able to start another series of bluegrass recordings,
thanks to another well-known picker.

This time it's the "Doc Hamilton Collection". http://frobbi.org/hamiltoncollection.html
It starts out with Doc's blockbuster recordings of Flatt & Scruggs in Houston, 1966 and 1967.
The 1967 set has two songs by guests Doc & Merle Watson.

These recordings are obviously even more appropriate with our recent loss of Earl and Doc.

As always, the link is also available on my Picking Page at http://frobbi.org/picking.html
in the From My Friends section.

There will be more to come.

My sincere thanks to Doc for taking the time to allow us to share his treasures with all of you in the
bluegrass community.

Doc Hamilton has come up with two more gems:
Flatt & Scruggs WSAZ 1959
Flatt & Scruggs WSM 1963

They're at http://frobbi.org/hamiltoncollection.html

Even more in the Doc Hamilton Collection!

Bean Blossom 1968 - Stone Mtn Boys, Bill Monroe, Red Allen, Mac Wiseman, Hedrick Bros.
