Gentlemen: whenever you see a great big overgrown buck sitting at the mouth of some holler, or at the forks of some road, with a big slouch hat on, a blue celluloid collar, a celluloid, artificial red rose in his coat lapel, a banjo strung across his breast, and a-pickin' of Sourwood Mountain, fine that man, gentlemen, fine him! For if he hasn't already done something, he's a-going to - Josiah Combs, quoted in Old-Time Mountain Banjo

Too many highlights for this poor boy, my head is about to explode. I want to be Lightnin', or maybe Mance, it's all good. Re a recent discussion, tuba sighting at at 4:21 [edit: I just bought the DVD online, along with Lightnin' & Barbara Dane, and the tuba guys, how come I'd never heard of Blind James Campbell? God bless Chris Strachwitz, and Mack McCormick too, not to mention the German filmmaker Dietrich Wawzyn who had the taste to get out and shoot that stuff] Pages: [1] Go Up
