Bluegrassers:
I hope you enjoyed the banjo original "Banjo Whip" from Ben Eldridge.
Here is another original on the "High Lonesome Sound" vinyl LP,
the title cut.
These days, I do this song a tad faster, but I'm almost never able
to get a harmony on it; the harmony range is a bit difficult. In this cut,
Lou Reid comes through with an amazing harmony.
Recorded at Wally Cleaver's in
Willie Oldes Bass
Fred Travers Dobro
Phil Rosenthal Mandolin
Carl Nelson Fiddle
Lou Reid Harmony
As most bluegrass pickers, I'm always interested in the instruments
musicians play. The album cover included this information, and here
are the "axes":
Carl Nelson 1984 Hand made John Janzegers
Ben Eldridge 1934 Gibson RB-3
Willie Oldes 1977 Anton Schroetter (German)
Ed Schaeffer 1976 Martin D-76
Phil Rosenthal 1924 Gibson F-5 (Lloyd Load)
1985 Martin HD-28
Lou Reid Tenor
Fred Travers Early-Mid 30' s Dobro
There is but one more cut celebrating the Scene Meisters 40th:
an instrumental called Rock Creek Ramble. After that, we'll begin a
cache of love songs, both live and recorded.
I hope you enjoy!
Ed
