Robbif's Recordings & Photos

Finally, the "something completely different" Set 2 from Bill & The Belles at the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association, even more fun than Set 1, if that's possible...

Presenting the last (of 4) top-shelf groups from the Berklee College of Music Showcase as part of the Grey Fox Emerging Artist Showcase...

This was another Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association fun evening, thanks to
The Hayrollers, with HVBA's own Jerry Oland on banjo.

The second set from this fun night with The Hayrollers at the HVBA is now available...

Just when I swear I can't find any more old recordings I make a new "discovery", probably due to my disorganization. Anyway I was looking at all my 1973 Culpeper-Warrenton cassettes, some tracks of which have been online for a long time.

I found another treasure of tracks, so I've moved all the current Culpeper 1973 tracks from my main page...

http://frobbi.org/picking.html (where there's now a single link to Culpeper 1973)

and assembled them on a new web page which is hopefully 90% complete....

Check out the "new" tracks of The Dillards, Doug Kershaw, Jimmy Martin, Earl Scruggs Review,
Norman Blake, and New Grass Revival

Please excuse the (lack of) quality. I was using a cheap handheld pianokey cassette recorder with a builtin mic,
hoping the non-rechargeable batteries would last.

Before all the stages are in business and well afterward, there's always more music to be enjoyed...

Yesterday it occurred to me that I'd like to have audio of all the tunes
from the 2015 Grey Fox Keith Style Banjo Summit for my decade-old iPod.

I produced the original videos...

I'm excited to share with you the first of six installments of this exclusive Grey Fox event - a live broadcast from the

This is for a dear friend and fellow volunteer...

Finally here is the second (of 6) installment of this exclusive Grey Fox event - a live broadcast from the

their Mom's resulting delicious pies. Then Bill and the Belles return for some more musical treats.

Here's the first music serving from my bucket-list trip to Arizona
where a priority was the 3-day Pickin' in the Pines festival in Flagstaff...

[robbif]

In a rush to catch up, I'd like to share another Pickin' in the Pines treat from my bucket-list trip to Arizona...

This is one of the relatively few handheld Pickin' in the Pines videos I successfully recorded,
since several of them were much shakier. Must've been the 7,000 foot altitude!

[robbif]

This is probably my favorite recording from the Pickin in the Pines Festival.
