I've just started my banjo journey (frailing) at 67 and love it. Just wish I was better at it, but that's what practice is for. Thanks for sharing from Melbourne Australia.

That's pretty wild that Mike was still out there collecting field recordings all the way up to the end. That's some serious devotion. Thanks for making these videos Yasha 🙏

I could never tell if the Seegers brothers were good for old time music, or just exploited it to make money.

[@YashaAginsky]

Nobody is into old-time for the money, least of all the Seeger family.

[@xanther97]

Making money and Old Time Music are mutually contradictory.

[@Chance-ry1hq]

@@YashaAginsky I beg to differ. Pete Seeger owned and lived on some of the most expensive real estate along the Hudson River. His publishing company was worth millions. He died a very rich man. Pete Seeger did not write any of the Appalachian music, he toured the south and stole the songs of Appalachia, packaged and sold them, and used them in his concerts to promote socialism. Like most New York liberals he exploited the system for personal gain, and what he preached did not apply to him. It kind of reminds me of our friend Barry Obama, who went into the White House with a Net Worth of $250K and left worth $250M with mansions in Virginia, and Kennebunkport the whole time preaching save the poor. You might try looking at what these people do, not what they say.

@@xanther97 It might be for you, it is not for the Seegers.

Chance, I get that. But in all fairness, if something has a value and that value is not being realized to its full potential. I don't fault someone for realizing that value and capitalizing on it...especially considering that the "thing" and the true owner of the thing still retain the value they bagan with. In this case, the people making this music hold its value, at least what it is worth to them...Seeger made extra value by spreading it to a wider audience, but he didn't take any of its value from the original owner. It's still just as valuable to them as it was prior to him recording, etc. Perhaps his reason for doing what he did was not as "pure" or as innocent ,as the musicians reasons for making the music. But I don't think that really matters honestly, since they end result is almost undoubtedly a net positive. We...you and I ,are speaking in 2023 about old time music, and with that, the love of this music is kept alive. Hope you are having a wonderful morning. Edit...wanted to state that I am not saying I think his reasons were anything less than noble...simply saying that even if they weren't noble, they were a net positive.
