Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
This is the last recording from the jam that Don Couchie and I had with West Virginia old time fiddler Ralph Roberts, the last night of Clifftop, at Ralph's camp up on Geezer Hill. There are a lot of reasons people come to the Clifftop festival, that's for sure, but I can tell you that Ralph comes to play music. Ralph plays the tunes he learned from his grandfather, the music of the working people of the West Virginia hills. It is our job to keep it going. I am playing three finger style banjo on this old warhorse, following as best I can, and Don is playing rhythm guitar.

I wish I could go back to the day when picking was THE entertainment of choice. Fine job fellas! Is there any instrument Don Couchie doesn't play well?

Sorry to clutter you up with all these comments, but I love these ones you've done with Ralph Roberts. I might have to track him down.

That's okay with me, Uncle, the more comments the better. I love these recordings, too, that's why I grouped them together in a blog.
