[@tracynewman3256]

@@jayekaye6641 Hi Jaye! This made me laugh. I did six episodes of "What's New." There were about 10 songs on each show. I had to perform each half hour without editing, which means I had to memorize the script and the blocking and do the whole episode without mistakes. If I made a mistake 25 minutes into the taping, I had to start over. (That only happened once.) The director, Joan Sheppard, was adamant - she refused to do any editing. (This was Brooklyn College's TV department, and she was a teacher. Everything technical was done by her students.) I had fun doing these shows, but there was a huge amount of pressure on me. By the time I did Cripple Creek, I had no idea whether I would "nail it" or not. This was the only song I knew how to play on the banjo. My teacher was banjo virtuoso, Doug Dillard. I only learned the song to audition for The Andy Griffith Show, (which I didn't get.) Brooklyn College submitted this series to PBS and they used it on the "What's New" series for children. The whole experience taught me so much about how "the show must go on." Sorry to go on and on about this, but this is all bringing back memories!

[@seankayll9017]

@@tracynewman3256 The two near misses at the end add to the piece. It shows that it is fine to make mistakes during a live performance and that the audience will appreciate the music no less for it. This is a great example to show children. I wish I could play half as well as that! ps I was about 1 year old when you recorded it...

[@valesverga9]

@@tracynewman3256 loved the video regardless of any mistake made, there is a lesson video that Brian setzer does in the late 80's or mid 90's showing how to play fingerpicking and technical scales, and he says in the video that it's ok to make mistakes when you're fingerpicking, sometimes there is notes ringing in the back that the listeners won't notice, anyways loved this performance Tracy!

On life Takes the grain is increased and it goes down to 12 Megapixels per frame. Still extreme Measurement. TV-Studios increased still the Grain for better Workflow, so about 4k or 8 Megapixels. And thats the reason why old Movies can be blown up to 4k or 8k as they were filmes in 35mm on the Studio Camera's. While the first Video Cameras (VHS/Betamax) where only made with 307k (NTSC) or 440k (PAL) TV-Sets in Mind.

​@@davidb6576 You're completely entitled to your opinion, but if you can't see how meaningful this clip is, I might suggest you watch it again. It amuses me that the phrase 'meaningless fun' exists, as if the two things were mutually incompatible. Personally, often when I encounter somebody doing 'meaningful' things, attending to 'serious' matters, devoting themselves selflessly to others, that is the point that they are most self involved, most clamouring for attention, and doing their least well, whatever their intentions may be. It is with the lightest of touches, and with the mildest of hearts, that people shine brightest and help the most. I don't want to bore you to tears, but I feel I must quote at length Herman Hesse, from The Journey to the East: "'...what do you do now you no longer have your violin?' 'Oh, this and that. I do not really do much. I am no longer young and I am also often ill. But why do you keep talking about this violin? It is not really so important.' 'The violin? It made me think of King David.' 'King David? What has he to do with it?' 'He was also a musician. When he was quite young he used to play to King Saul and sometimes dispelled his bad moods with music. Later he became a king himself, a great king full of cares, having all sorts of moods and vexations. He wore a crown and conducted wars and all that kind of thing, and he also did many really wicked things and became very famous. But when I think of his life, the most beautiful part of it all is about the young David with his harp playing music to poor Saul, and it seems a pity to me that he later became a king. He was a much happier and better person when he was a musician.' 'Of course he was!' I exclaimed passionately. 'Of course, he was younger then, more handsome and happier. But one does not always remain young; your David would in time have grown older and uglier and would have been full of cares even if he had remained a musician. So he became the great David, performed his deeds and composed his psalms. Life is not just a game!' Leo then rose and bowed. 'It is growing dark,' he said, 'and it will rain soon. I do not know a great deal more about the deeds that David performed, and whether they were really great. To be quite frank, I do not know very much more about his psalms either, but I should not like to say anything against them. But no account of David can prove to me that life is not just a game. That is just what life is when it is beautiful and happy - a game! Naturally, one can also do all kinds of other things with it, make a duty of it, or a battleground, or a prison, but that does not make it any prettier. Good-bye, pleased to have met you!'"

Awesome that was brilliantly wholesome, reminds me of the 70s 80s going around guitar shops with my dad in Manchester UK , looking for banjos guitars, the people playing in the shop,, so skilled ,so was dad, dad's brother Malcolm played with 10CC before they got famous, then coming home putting a LP on of country music, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, dad died in 1993 age 52, I was 24, iam 55 now and still have his music books, harmonica, guitar, a banjo on my wall that I made, i tend to play the ukulele now, and very fast as I write my own tunes in my head, I can't grasp music, tab IAM fine, I think I could be world's fastest Strummer, who knows,, the sheep and the cows in the fields do haha, Thanks for the music Tracey Newman, and the memories ❤New sub x

Makes me wanna bolt out of this old city, get up in the Appalachian mountains, build me a log cabin and hide forever.

[@gracecole1]

I kinda hope Corona knocks out all the bad music and we go back to playing music like this full time

[@mantislake4141]

Do it but don't hide! Get to know your neighbors by sharing a little shine and some of that Christmas tree bud

Wow! She's so talented and I like how she explained everything so simply. I learned several things. She'd had been a good guest to have on Mr. Rogers

I've played drums all my life, but nothing makes me smile more then some good banjo playing.

That is a wonderful rendition of a beautiful song -- and I can think of many singers who couldn't have gotten away with that first verse on TV in 1965.
