Butch Robins: Sally Gooden - Grey Eagle Medley

[@MsNickie1001]

I knew Butch when he was much younger. He was always a gentleman, and a fine musician.

[@Thyme2dream]

More more more....more talking AND more playing:-) Butch is one of the true keepers of the flame and his wisdom musicale is as valuable as his playing- thanks for including this!!

[@MjrMjr-tt3kn]

Butch is amazing, his contribution to the banjo is precious to me

[@Banjodunc]

The three albums that Butch recorded those many years ago still stand up to the test of time. I'll never forget the one and only time I saw him perform. It was with Bill Monroe and they were on fire. I feel very fortunate.

[@banjoist123]

I read Butch's book a couple of years ago, and love listening to him talk as much as play. He has a sharp mind and a keen insight into this music. And is a VERY underrated banjo player. One of the best to ever play for Monroe.

[@maverickdallas100]

I just love that hard-driving melodic style that is distinctively his. It's strange that Butch Robins is hardly ever mentioned in any bluegrass circuit. He is truly one of the grand masters of the melodic style banjo and deserves much more recognition and credit than he gets.

[@dmiller1112]

Its videos like these, done by the pros like Butch, that keep me coming back to KZbin looking for "new tunes". Thanks SO MUCH for posting this! Butch has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. Good to see he is just as good as ever!

[@markelberry]

I did not click off thought it was quite interesting,and the playing was outstanding love Butch's pickin!!

[@daveandrews6670]

That's some great playing.

[@jimadams9415]

Butch is " A Banjo Supreme"

[@kcbanjonut]

There is NO better rendition of Grey Eagle on the banjo! That's "it" for me!

[@captbanjo1]

For the guy here who 'wouldn't go to see him play', you should be so lucky! I was at the Tennessee Banjo Institue back in the nineties and saw him play. The word 'master' was created for players like Robins.

[@MolassesThe]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, awesome really

[@greggfla]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I agree 100% with Thyme2dream's comments. 5 stars on this one for sure! Gregg

[@JimRichter]

That was intentional. This is a video from Butch's website where he was giving some instruction on the history of his approach to fiddle tunes.

[@Kitinetnies]

None other than the magnificent Jim Richter himself, KZbin's resident mando-god.

[@mheffinger1]

i enjoyed your picking very much

[@seizeimmunity4113]

Imma gonna play a set with this guy on the 28th to support our string band funds for my school

[@nasty5oh]

Great stuff right there.

[@Spearfisher1970]

i'll take as much teachin' as i can get! Playin's good, too.

[@Gronk52]

Other robins chirp before their music begins...

[@JimRichter]

You're absolutely right. In my opinion, it's him and Bob Black--though Butch has a lot more drive in his playing (which comes from the fact that he's a master of Scruggs style as well, which Black never really was IMO).

日本人です。サリーカーデンを50年聞きました。この曲サリーカーデンですか?わかりません。誰かせつまいしてください。

[@WildwoodvalleyBoy]

..don't mind the talking,.. if its educational and inspirational!

[@iloveyouemily]

I didn't mean any disrespect sir. Just a comment that maybe people missed a lot of great music because they didn't wait for the nusic to start.

[@marcbachman4987]

First four minutes (4:00) is talk, mostly off subject.

[@iloveyouemily]

Great, Great playing. I wonder how many people clicked off this video because he talks too much at the beginning. Over 4 minutes.

[@WildwoodvalleyBoy]

Talking is good when its pertinent to the subject, especially when its historical, don't be so 'robotic' as to not want the human element involved.

[@bluntinst]

to much gobbing not enough oickin
