Hi Folks,
Well, as promised, the 2nd installment of the "Ken Landreth Collection" of music
is now available. It's from Carlton Haney's 5th Annual Camp Springs Festival in 1969
and includes the Reno & Smiley Story and 3 sets of Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mtn Boys.
You can find it at http://frobbi.org/audio/landreth/Reidsville1969/index.html
and, as always, on my Picking Page at http://frobbi.org/picking.html
Stay tuned for more.
Repeated thanks for Ken Landreth and his efforts!
Fred
I just added 3 sets of JD Crowe and the Kentucky Mtn Boys to the Camp Springs 1969 music.
This was their first festival!

I moved the Byron Berline & Gold Rush videos from my website to YouTube for better quality and faster streaming.
Last summer, Byron came to Poughkeepsie, NY, at my request, and with the hard work of the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association, gathered some great local musicians for a concert.
The video was shot by Steve Jacobi.

Enjoy,
Fred
I've also moved the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association's Bluegrass in the Schools videos to YouTube.
Check out the banjo demonstration by Jerry Oland at http://frobbi.org/bgschools/bgschools-banjo.html
The rest of the series, including a culminating presentation by Special Consensus (in the 1st web video approved by the band) is at http://frobbi.org/bgschools/index.html
Saved your treasure trove of clips to listen to over the future. Glad to see our "local gal," Sarah Jarosz who lives up toward Austin in Wimberly, Tx. She's amazing. Thanks very much, Fred!
Hey Lloyd, You're very welcome!
That Grey Fox Mandolin Masters Workshop in 2008 was the first time I saw Sarah. I was blown away with her easygoing musical maturity!
Wimberley's where my longtime friend Alan Munde lives too.

We're all very lucky that Ken Landreth is back and his tape recorder is fixed.
With a lot of work, he's given me some more great, historic, high-quality recordings.
Added to the Landreth Collection are Carlton Haney's Berryville 1969 with the Story of Bluegrass and Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom 1971.
The Bean Blossom 1971 series has Ralph Stanley (with Skaggs & Whitley), Jimmy Martin (with Alan Munde), Jim & Jesse, and the Country Gentlemen.
I'm proud to have these gems on my website!
Check out the entire collection at http://frobbi.org/landrethcollection.html
...and stay tuned for more!

I could not agree more...Wayne Golding was a fine singer, a great bass player, and a fine person. I feel honored to have known him back in the 60s when he was playing with Wesley and Jimmy in the Twin County Partners. I was really happy to find this recording to remind me of the great times we had at fiddlers conventions back then.

I'll agree with Ken and Danny B on Wayne Golding. I had the pleasure of picking with him for about 3 years in the
early 80's . He was a fine man and fine singer and bass player.
