Great rendition of an old favorite

[Paul Busman]

The classic Buffalo Springfield played on (mostly) traditional instruments, including Sierra Hull on mandolin. A friend posted this on Facebook this morning. Just about an hour before that I started singing this song out of the blue. Hadn't heard it in ages.

Paul, thanks for sharing this. What a great ensemble. Tremendous rendition of a classic protest song. Like you I haven't heard this in years.

Saw that the other day. Excellent.

Now that's interesting, thanks Paul.

They Killed it. A great example of how a room full of pickers can still leave space for the music.

This is a fabulous performance, and the poignant words to that powerful song are every bit as relevant today as they were back in 1966 when Stephen Stills wrote it. Hear, hear!

Ronnie hits it out of the park on Mandocaster!

Awesome!

Del McCoury -

A few months ago, a bunch of friends got together to play music in Nashville, under the guise of prepping for DelFest. No one knew it would turn into something so special! Members of Del McCoury Band, The Travelin McCourys, Gibson Brothers, Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, Ethan Jodziewicz, Cody Kilby, and Dre Anders of Dre and the Collective told stories and sang songs, turning it into a family jam.

None of us were quite sure why we cut the song back in May, but thought we might find a need for it down the road. I guess after this past weekend's events in Charlottesville the need is here.

Here's our cover of Buffalo Springfield's iconic protest song, "For What It's Worth".

Great playing all around and loved Ronnie McCoury's mandocaster solo!

Now that I think of it, the recent events in Charlottesville are probably what brought that song to my mind.

Nearly 50 years ago, another eminent bluegrass musician, Earl Scruggs, performed with his two musically talented sons at the Moratorium against the Vietnam War in Washington, DC.

Nice to hear Jason Carter sing the lead.

Love this arrangement, love the tune, love the pickers and singers, and I have a lot of respect for the poignant timing of Del's release of this. In his notes at YouTube, he also points to this following session from about the same time that has been posted to YouTube by the Gibson Brothers ...

Thanks to both of you for posting these videos. Both videos are very powerful and meaningful. And you know, we had some darn good music back in the '60s. Glad to see others think so as well.

I like how they pick up the tempo at 6:10 and turn it into a good foot-tapping instrumental dance-tune.
