Almost forgot to watch this today

Run poka!

I've just been directed here, I really love this, but it makes me sad to think of someone I loved once who'd have rolled around laughing to this. Oh well, I'm going to look for more now.

He's the band leader. reckon yall ain't never dealt with one before...

I don't understand how he made picking sounds while strumming the banjo. I thought he was singing and acting silly with the banjo and maybe somebody was out of the camera angle actually playing the banjo but I guess not. Very talented guy. In conclusion, I don't think he grew up with an iPad.

In 1940, Snuffy bought a 1934 Gibson Mastertone RB-4 banjo at a pawn shop in Spartanburg for $40 which he used throughout his career. He played that banjo for the rest of his life, performing for more than half a century. That banjo now resides in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. (Still with the pickguard:)

I never (once or twice) listened to music, and I'm 16. Now that I've found earl scruggs, that's changing. I swear, nothing is like the banjo. It's just so... I don't know how to describe it, but it's perfect.

Saw him across from Texas A&M as a senior when he was 2 years graduated.

Certain people need to be engineers. Certain people shouldn't waste their money. IMHO, as the mother of one, they show you as a child who they are. I knew my child's gifts at age 4. The problem is we (society) can't stop looking at who they are. They are or they aren't. Stop filling quotas, and also stop telling people they should be or shouldn't be based on their outside, one way or another. It's in them or it isn't. And if a woman WANTS to be a homemaker instead of an engineer, there's no shame in that either. A gifted and great mother makes a great future for many people.

Paul Robeson is a great singer

peggy is one of the best lyricists I've heard

I was one of “Pete’s kids” back in the 1950s when he was blackballed in NYC and earned money going to schools and summer camps and teaching kids how to sing and play. For 10 days each summer for three years I had the privilege of being in his presence and learning from him and being inspired. He was generous, compassionate, committed to music as a healing force. His concerts, whether small or large, were magnetic. He got us all singing together.

Son House is a wise man indeed…..

Il y a des voix, des sonorités, des accords et des rythmes qui nous prennent aux tripes. Je pourrais écouter ses chansons les yeux fermés avec des larmes qui coulent pendant des heures...

Rot in hell Pete, you godless Stalinist limousine commie.

❤awsome

Saw Vin many times at various folk clubs. Brilliant person taken too soon ❤

RedBook and DeepSeek got me like:

Lever Johnny lever... its time for us to lever

Wearing his pants low before anyone else

Kingston Trio had a great version of this song.

His music didn’t age well. Unfortunately for the “Folk” music people, the new Dylan movie used Pete as contrast. Pete’s music was quickly on its way out.

Such an underated song…lyrically it’s one of your best, so brutally honest, but at the same time vague enough to intrigue the listener for more. Dark, but slightly uplifting in the chorus, which is a powerful combination. This live version is also better than the record IMHO. “But you saw the lines on an old man’s face” - third person reference on point 👌

The greatest.

I used to watch them every Saturday afternoon when I was growing up. Watching Earl was what made me want to play the banjo.

1:36 song starts.

Guy on the right could have shown some respect and got off his phone...

This is dope AF

Bring back the sixties.

My husband taught Lyle Lovett at Klein High School. Known as Mr C

Why did Stringbean say "Come on five." Was one of the musicians lagging in the beat and he said that to tell him to pick up the pace?

Kingston Trio did this song too.

Saw them live in 60. W/Eric

A brilliant song. It seems rather simple; but it is so well crafted, so well written, and so well sung that it is anything but simple. Some songs creep into your conscious after many plays. This one got me the first time I heard it. Yes, it was and is that good. Lyle is a true wordsmith, coupled with some first class playing and singing. Another great son of Texas.

Here again, Jan 2025. Wonderful!

Dangerous to be a pint in them parts

Pete Seeger was a real artist. He sang for the workers, from the workers... R.I.P

How in the world did Julia Roberts convince Lyle to marry her? A musical genius seduced by a beautiful smile?

it materialised when aphex made the song. this is the origin.

Why did you cut out what he was saying about the Black man in a white man’s world? It would have been great to hear the rest of his thoughts on that subject.

I would argue if one is Jewish: one was born to the blues! Jewish people were the FIRST to be born into oppression.

Did you see the new Dylan movie? What did you think of the actors' work?

"Pastures of Plenty" was later re-made into a Peter Tevis version by Ennio Morricone, which became the title track for "A Fistful of Dollars" Here's the Morricone/Peter Tevis version, first half of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnKoaqd8mZuKobM&start_radio=1

Both Kings

I listen to this song when I wanna think about my friend who passed away he was a storyteller somewhere true and some more probably Falls, but he was a storyteller And he was my friend. I miss you, Charles.

It's true. I live in a farming community where some haven't a clue & have never kissed a girl. R.

Bob Fox is one of the finest. The complete entertainer. R.

Wonderful!

Maravilhoso
