Thanks to the generosity of Bill Knopf, I now have a "new" recording to offer,
JD Crowe & The New South, McCabes, Santa Monica CA, 1975

As usual, it's also in the From My Friends section of my Picking Page: http://frobbi.org/picking.html
Enjoy,
Fred
Thanks Fred and Bill for sharing the JD audio. This is probably the best quality live audio that I have heard with the original New South lineup!

Folk Influences & Branching Out -
Presenter/Guitar: David Gandin; Class Mgr: Michael Foley;
Videographer: Fred Robbins; Guitar/Vocals: Nick Novia; Bluegrass Journey: Fred Robbins
Well, after David's portion on this week's subject, and Nick's enthusiastic, entertaining presentation
on guitar and singing, you'll see why I usually stay behind the camera - The last portion is my nervously
stuttering attempt to tell of my bluegrass experience from the 1950s to the present.
In Memory of James King
One more memory in tribute to James King...
James King even jammed and sung with the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association before his concert!

Another enjoyable Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association class with David's usual insightful history and analysis. It was followed by Ben's beautiful mando explanation and music, accompanied by David on guitar with some great flatpicking of his own. (I was also happy to be back behind the camera!)

Today, for some reason, for the first time, I gathered up the nerve to post something I played on.
Actually I was inspired by the pre-release sample of 'Crazy Creek' on Ron Cody's sensational
"The Cooper Sessions" CD. When my bluegrass mentor from Clemson University, Bob Isenhour (RIP)
visited me in Pleasant Valley, NY in 1971, we sat down for a session in my apartment. For now,
I'm only posting 'Crazy Creek'. Hopefully a couple more sometime later.
Meanwhile, dedicated to Bob Isenhour: http://frobbi.org/audio/fredbob/
Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association vs. Sony - Take 3
Please bear with this many-times-silly presentation (and one "bad word"), but the critical message is all there.

Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association vs. Sony - Take 4
May 27, 2016
From the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The video put out by "The Know" [*see below] has about 800 comments.
While Sony has withdrawn their objection to our use of a short audio clip in our Evolution of Bluegrass - 2016, Week One, video, they have done so based on our acceptance of their "conditions." We have written back to Sony using these words: "...HVBA does not consent to the terms and conditions of your non-objection letter and we ask SME to stop imposing conditions and demanding payment or an agreement to licensing terms for obvious fair uses under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."
Stay tuned.

A little throwback for your weekend.
Here is a Grey Fox exclusive video of a gracious superstar I was blown-away honored to be asked to capture.
He had just been declared an official National Treasure. Lots of history in the detailed interview.
After Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association's 6-class course on the "Evolution of Bluegrass"
for the Marist Center for Lifetime Study...
(class videos here) http://www.hvbluegrass.org/education/1195-evolution-of-bluegrass-2016.html
...the individual musician/presenters got together as a complete band.
MC Dick Bowden tells some more stories, complementing and reviewing the course for
the concert-attending students and for everyone else.
But be assured, there's a lot of great picking and singing to enjoy.
Here's the first installment...
My good friends The Gather Rounders were finally able to grace us at the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association.
