[@marcnerenberg1]

Dan is still one of the best - plain and simple - label or no label!

[@timmattingly2250]

Love that clawhammer banjo playing!

[@dylan962300]

Awesome! Dan taught me quite a bit of what I know on banjo. Mans got talent!

[@poboystrugglin]

I keep coming back to this..!

[@jeffcmo1957]

This just made my day. Wow. This is great.!!!!

[@gval900]

Dan has not been published much. There are some field recording around in private hands. It is good to see him younger. He is so good now, it impossible to imitate.

Most astonishing...

[@guywolff]

HOT .. thanks for this !! There are so many great banjo players in the world and I just heard another one I did not know of .. Just a joy to meet you Dan ..

[@SuperSnackwell]

Some say that all good banjo music leapt, fully grown and armed like Athena, from a crack in Dan Gellert's head.That's one funky-ass skull.

Banjo heaven.

[@jarobary]

Fantastic...

[@poboystrugglin]

This resonates so deeply!

Ray Alden, who recorded that, told me he used a second microphone under the banjo to get Dan's full sound. I'm not sure, though, that this is the particular recording he was referring to. In my opinion, it was the first recording where Dan's banjo came through well. Dan and Brad Leftwich recorded a very nice cassette; I don't know whether it is still available. It's called "A Moment in Time," and it was on Marimac (1993).
