This may be an old post but I couldn't find anything when I searched the message board.

I hope I am not doing anything unethical by posting this! Sorry if I am. But I couldn't help but try to share!

Ah, the famous Monroe-bus-broke-down-and-this-band-filled-in Muleskinner 1973 TV show. Classic, classic, classic.

At some point in the video, Grisman has this manic, I mean manic look on his face.

It must be hard and yet wonderful for there to be so much left by Mr. Clarence White for his family to see and hear. I lost a brother 20 years or so ago and I can never get over it. He played banjo and guitar (He wasn't really ever any good at it, but he liked playing!)

My heart goes out to Mr. Roland White and many thanks to his continuing on, I know it must be painful every time he picks up an instrument and plays, expecting to look over and see his brother, and thinking he should be able to play with him. I envy him for that, I was too young to have played with my brother that's gone, fortunately I have a family who plays and sings together, not often enough, but we still get together and play.

Wow, sorry for the such a "bring down" I guess I had something to get out of me!

Unfortunately, the #backing is a bit weak, leaving some of Clarence's
rhythmic complexities hanging in the air (unfortunately, also, he has had too many imitators). However, I do dig Roland's very sensitive use of tremolo and various left hand devices. As a non-expert on vintage instruments I note that his instrument has very clear "vertical" separation in double-stops and chords.

I made a similar observation on hearing a YouTube clip with Frank Wakefield
and the Greenbriar Boys.
