[dcab-l] Ben Eldridge -Scene from Afar: "Banjo Whip"

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here’s a recording from my new CD (2021) “Scene from Afar”:

 

          

 

This CD is a re-issue of a 1987 vinyl album of all original material, mostly featuring

Seldom Scene musicians.  This banjo cut was a Ben Eldridge contribution to the

album.  All cuts on the album contained Washington references;   I named Ben’s

selection “Banjo Whip” in reference to a Governmental “Whip”:  an official of a political

party whose task is to ensure party discipline in a legislature.  More than that, though,

“Whip” seems to relate to a banjo!

 

Scene from Afar Musicians:

 

Ben Eldridge              Banjo

Phil Rosenthal            Mandolin

Ed Schaeffer              Rhythm Guitar

Carl Nelson                Fiddle

Willie Oldes                Bass

Fred Travers              Dobro

 

To listen, click:  http://rattlesnakehill.org/Web_Music/edsmusic.html

 

Ed

 

(As always, turn up and headphones preferred)

[dcab-l] Ed's New CD: Scene from Afar

                 Ed’s New CD: Scene from Afar

 

 

This new CD is a re-issue of a 1987 vinyl release Ed Schaeffer recorded mostly with the Seldom Scene

at Wally Cleaver Studios, Fredericksburg, Va. by Peter Bonta.  Hence, with a re-issue in 2021, the

play-on-words for the new CD title: Scene from AfarDownload  from any Streaming Site.

 

Phil Rosenthal, the Scene’s guitarist and lead singer of that ’87 era, shines on mandolin (and some lead

guitar work!).  Phil wrote 2 of the 3 instrumentals: “Presidential Breakdown” and “Rock Creek Ramble”.

 

And one of the all-time best bluegrass banjo pickers and original Seldom Scene member, Ben Eldridge,

wrote the 3rd instrumental: “Banjo Whip”, and drives the whole CD with his playing.

 

Lou Reid, formerly with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and the Ricky Skaggs Band, a recent addition to the

Seldom Scene in ‘87, sings all harmony.

 

In addition to these three, Super-fiddler Carl Nelson, for many years with Bill Harrell & the Virginians,

contributes some unbelievable licks!

 

While recording at Wally Cleaver, Dobro picker Fred Travers, in ‘87 playing with Ed’s band Rattlesnake Hill,

attracted Ben’s interest, and became a replacement for the Scene’s Mike Auldridge.

 

Willie Oldes, Rattlesnake Hill’s bassist, also joined the effort, and Ed Schaeffer provided 6 songs, vocals,

and rhythm guitar.  Songwriter Fred Moore contributed a gospel song: “Rim of a Wheel”.  So, the CD contains

all original material.

 

For the new CD Scene from Afar, the format was changed from the vinyl issue, with fresh artwork throughout,

but with original pictures from that ’87 cover. 

 

Enjoy!

Ed Schaeffer

[dcab-l] DCBU/VFW Bluegrass Jam in Takoma Park

I know many of you are eager to know when the DCBU/VFW Jams will resume. Well, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that the VFW is as eager to welcome us back as we are to go back. The bad news is that we don't yet know when that will be. Y'see, the VFW is not yet open Mondays. Currently they're open only Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. They plan to continue reopening gradually, and will give me a call when they're open Mondays again. Until then we'll just have to keep woodshedding and picking with friends.

So that's where we stand. I'll keep you posted. Keep on pickin'! ♪♫♩🎶♬♪♫♩🎶♬♪♫♩🎶♬
