Sarah Jarosz just posted a link to this on her Facebook page...Fantastic as always! She's rapidly becoming one of my favorite mandolin players...

Here's the accompanying text:
Emerging bluegrass multi-instrumentalist, singer, and college sophomore Sarah Jarosz performs at the Rutledge her Grammy-nominated instrumental song "Mansinneedof" as part of the Americana Music Festival.

Okay, so the only people actually seen playing anything in this are the two percussionists, but the synchronicity of the heist with the music is sheer genius:

Laughed myself to tears, wonderful. I always thought that I´ve seen all the "Olsen Gang"-Films, but I can´t remember this scene. Thanks very much. Was the "Olsen Gang" ever broadcasted in the USA?

No, not that I know of. One of my friends pointed me toward this sequence, and he had either been pointed to it by someone else or happened to stumble upon it on the internet.

I just found these guys yesterday. The more I listened the more I liked.

Haven't seen this one anywhere:
Bill Frisell ~ Live To Tell


Nor this one:

[journeybear]

This is my current favorite, for two reasons. First, I had no idea youtube was only five years old. It seems like it has been around for a lot longer. Second, I am fascinated by the rock song they use, starts at 1:16. It sounds a lot like U2 but I believe it is not. So far I have been unable to find it on the U2 website, nor anywhere else on the web, other than Q&A sites, where everyone else seems baffled. It's a catchy melody with nice lyrics, and I find this mystery intriguing. If anyone recognizes it I'd like to know about it.

[Michael Wolf]

These Bill Frisell videos are great.

[Dobe]

Found these off the Woodsongs show, pretty cool , the gal from Blue Moose made her own Nyckelharpa !

[Shawn Blackwell]

Nice Dobe. I've never seen a nyckelharpa before.

Dunno if this video will work here since it's a yahoo video. I present you>

I hadn't checked into this thread for a few months until yesterday--

Shawn, thanks for post #420 -- Oregon performing "Beneath an Evening Sky" -- a tune I used to play from Ralph's Master Classes book. I took the book from my book shelf this morning -- I hadn't looked at it, nor played these tunes -- for some ten or more years. I'll see if I can find a clip of "Vessel" for us. I used to love to play that.

catmandu2: I've been meaning to ask you about "Ralph's Master Classes book". If you have time can you pm or email me info on this book? Is it the same as this book?

This one just posted at LetsTalkGuild.com.
Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks 1972

[journeybear]

Fabulous! I am so glad I got to see them back then - one of the best shows I have ever experienced, and I have seen some shows.. ;-) He couldn't get over the fact that they were playing in a church (actually my college's chapel - old wood, great acoustics). I wanted to run away with them! You can't tell from the camera work here, but those are two potted palm trees they carried around with them to go along with the painted backdrop. And the second song is actually called "Shorty Falls In Love." And the Lickette on the right, Naomi Eisenberg, also played fiddle, so there were songs with either twin fiddles or fiddle and mandolin, which Sid Page also played.

I found this appearance on The Flip Wilson Show that same year, 9/28/72 - check out the dance routine! Still looking for live clips from back then with MC. Sid was great on fiddle but no slouch on mandolin.

[Dobe]

Thanks for bringin' me back you guys ! I've loved Dan Hicks forever and those clips are from his best era IMHO. He's still out there doin' it (I think) and still has that great sound & style. Here's somthing a little newer:

[journeybear]

Shayna Zaid & The Catch - "Morning Sun" and "Blow." You may have heard a snippet of the first song in the Ford Edge commercial currently running. I thought it was Feist but it's not. Yan Inzquierdo on mandolin and violin. From last New Year's Eve at Times Square:




and from a year earlier at The Living Room, way downtown - a pass-the-hat place where Norah Jones and others have played early in their careers. Interesting to see and hear the evolution of the song, and the band. Unfortunately the camera operator was more interested in the singer than the mandolinist. Oh well, should be used to this by now ...

[journeybear]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Down By The Riverside. She was great, an overlooked link between gospel, rhythm & blues, and rock 'n' roll. My old jug band used to do this, modelled on her version.



And another one. Way to make an entrance!

[Ed Goist]

Great song. Great performance. Great video.

[man dough nollij]

Wow. Singing starts about 2:22.
