1971 Stanley Show

From Buzzbomb on 4/6/2014 11:21:56 AM

Just came across this Stanley show from 7th May 1971 - Freight & Salvage, Berkeley Ca.

it was recorded the day they came back from Japan 1971... If I remember right Ralph played a flathead on the Japanese tour... two days before they'd recorded the great Live in Japan (Rebel) album & on the 6th May did the Birdree LP (with the nude cover).

Anybody got an accurate tab for CMB? I've got a copy of Ralph's DVD, but it's in storage.

A little more on the banjo Ralph used on the Jap tour (and presumably the San Francisco and Oklahoma City gigs they did on their way back) from Bluegrass Unlimited Notes & Queries (Dec 89):-

"The banjo... is indeed a flathead... on loan from the late Elmer Harr, an instrument collector and trader from Bristol Tennessee. Harr bought the instrument from bluegrass singer Al Jones, who had put it together from parts from various sources. The unusual neck with carved All American style headstock and matching carved resonator were made by banjoist Johnnie Whisnant and Jones did the finsh and inlaywork. Harr later sold the banjo back to Jones, who resold it to a musician in northern Virginia. It's current whereabouts are not known"
