    Despite my recent problems posting videos, I'm going to attempt to post two very important ones here, so please bear with me...

    "Epilogue" Tribute to John Duffey

    I've been looking forward to sharing this event for a long time.
    The project journey and the music are absolutely stunning.
    Yes, I'm biased since my good friend Akira Otsuka, along with his now-departed project partner Ronnie Freeland, are the nucleus of this project, started in 2002!
    Hre are the tw segmants of an hour at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival with Akira, Ron Thomason, Kitsy Kuykendall, Jerry Douglas, and moderator Tim Kruzic, as they tell stories of John Duffey and this amazing journey...

    Martin Beckman, with the help of his daughter Natalie, has generously shared their recordings and photos of the band he was in, The Dixie Bluegrass Boys, in what he said was the last performance of the full band. We both have interest in our mutual departed friend, banjoist Al Osteen.
    Martin picked while Natalie recorded and took photos.

    Randall Collins-fiddle, Jerry Moore (guest & friend)-fiddle, Larry Jefferson-mandolin,

    I thought about showing my own brief backstage clips of Sam at the 2010 Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival,
    but asked "Revival: The Sam Bush Story" co-creator Wayne Franklin if it would do any harm.
    He immediately said, "Go for it!". So what the heck...

    You're gonna enjoy this first sample of a magic intimate hour last summer at Grey Fox.
    Very appropriate with the recent documentary about one of the stars, which includes
    an interview with the other one!

    I regret to announce my departure from The Gibson Bros.. I have total respect for Eric Gibson & Leigh Gibson, as well as band mate Mike Barber and former member, Clayton Campbell. We shared over 5 yrs. together, not counting the fill-in work in 2010. I was a part of 2 wonderful ‘Rounder Records’ albums: ‘Brotherhood’ & ‘In the Ground’. In addition, we’ve garnered Entertainers of the Year at IBMA, Vocal Group, amongst other awards such as Mandolin of the Year. This has been one of the best jobs in my 37 yrs. in this business.
    Their new ‘Mockingbird’ album is doing very well and though it is different from what Bluegrass fans are familiar with, they are not planning on leaving their fan-base. In fact, their Bluegrass dates continue to grow into new markets & I wish them continued success in that direction.
    My journey begins now to carry on the sounds of my mandolin/guitar/bass & vocals in other realms which are yet to be explored/announced. Thank you to all the fans who’ve followed me in the band and continue to see me out there. Happy Holidays!

    we decided to share another S & S gift for the holiday season...

    A lot of folks come every year to the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and hardly ever watch a stage performance. These guys might be part of that bunch...

    OK, I'll try to explain this miracle, so please bear with me...

    Marty Cutler...


    ...saw my Fincastle 1966 photo of Bill Monroe...
    (from http://frobbi.org/slides/fincastle)


    ...and thought the young man behind Monroe was Andy Statman.

    Marty showed it to Marc Horowitz, who currently plays with Andy Statman...
    (Tim Kiah-bass, Gene Yellin-guitar in their recent concert)


    At Marty's "nudzhing", Marc showed it to Andy and assured me it was Andy...
    ...and Andy's "mind was blown"!

    Mine too!!!

    My small-world, serendipitous good fortune connections have now spanned five decades!!!

    BIG Thanks to my friends Marc and Marty!
    ..here at Tex Logan's Memorial Jam Session...with some other guy in the middle ;-)


    And to Andy for being there! But why wasn't he in this group?;-)

    This isn't bluegrass, but I figured I'd share a little goosebump music for me.
    A couple days ago I was in the mall doing my last-minute Christmas shopping.
    I discovered the same organ setup that thrilled me last year. I only had my
    little point-and-shoot with the scratched lens, and shot this...



    Two days later I was at the dentist for a cracked implant crown and, planning ahead
    (a miracle in itself), I brought my GoPro and stopped by the mall just to hear some
    more organ music...





    I hope it brings you a little joy, and maybe even some goosebumps, like me!


    Cheers,
    Fred

    Redwood Hill made their first appearance at the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association and I suspect it won't be their last. Now you can enjoy the first part of some wonderful Country Gentlemen picking and singing.

    If you'd like a very safe, (legal), extremely fun overdose of great mandolin picking*, this is for you.
    I'm biased since all the mando pickers are my very good friends. But if you don't know a single one,
    you'll know why after watching.

    *Guitar, banjo and fiddle, too

    Here's your first dose...




    Special Guests: Marty Cutler on banjo, David Chernack on fiddle
