Humpback Mule - Grace Forrest, Steve Arkin - Clifftop 2013

[@ManWithAName425]

RIP Steve- I always noted the moments in this jam when you look up and exhibit an expression of pride and joy in playing with Grace. One of the few banjoists who were equally adept at both bluegrass and Old-Time. You were a bright light for me as a developing banjo player. You will be sorely missed. God bless your family and legacy

The Magic happens when you get into a song circle and get the music going.... everyone gets locked into the groove... its like flying!! I got down to Clifftop in 2008 and 2009.... miss my friends....

You people make it sing, wood and gut and metal. I envy what you do and and wish I was one of your inspiring clan. I'm lucky when I can tap my toe in time with the beat. Please. Keep on Playing and dancing, he rest of us are dying for more.....

[@blancolirio]

Brilliant! Grace, you have a way of slurring the just right notes in a perfectly smooth fashion. Good stuff!

[@pare2071]

Excellent job on the banjo Steve

[@thevictorianedge5465]

Beautiful. Carrying on the tradition!

[@grizzlycomrie]

Unrefined, off the cuff and absolutely fantastic. proper jam session music. Love it.

[@commontater9785]

From time to time I come upon Grace Forrest on KZbin, and I'm always glad when I do. Bluegrass is fine in its way, but if you don't get a lift from hearing Grace play, it's time you got some dancing in your soul.

[@ijohnny.]

The best of the rustic pentatonic sound.

[@elenavanbc]

this is healing music for me. Thank you for being such awesome musicians, you're angels!

[@jacobaragon7217]

This is so good!! And, as someone already pointed out, a very addicting tune.

[@BirdogEd]

Lovely indeed! 😎🇺🇸👍

[@ifiddle2]

That is some hot music! Love it!!!

[@joynjrny]

I, for one, have become to love this "monotonous old-time stuff." It's appreciated by participating: friends, family, musicians, dancers, in barns, on front porches, or under a canopy in the woods bare foot with nothing but dirt and grass under your feet, such as with Grace here. What other venue creates such a family-like gathering?

[@Pete-z6e]

American Honey , appreciate the subtle variations and you will realise it’s not monotonous at all.

[@Cotictimmy]

Same sentiment from this old guy in Southampton (Southern England)

[@zymelin21]

to grace. the judds one said it. "if it ain' t broke don' t fix it" your music don' t need fixin. you do what you are good at and you lov it. it don' t get any better. thanks

Good Stuff!

[@MissMoonshineDance]

Thanks!

[@geralddale6568]

I so agree American Honey. I wish this monotonous noise making would have continued for another 10 minutes uninterrupted. Just love it. If you watch Grace and the others they just get lost in the music. I just gotta get me a fiddle.

[@JennyBaty1]

Great fiddlin' and steppitune

[@Stringmeester]

Mighty Fine!!

[@MitchMb14]

Reminds me quite a bit of the B part of Soldier's Joy.

[@kylep7558]

If it sounds monotonous, you aren't really listening. If you concentrate, you should hear subtle differences in the melodic lines and phrasing of the tune, which are a central part of it's "danceability." It's possible that only the musicians can hear it, from having to work out the tunes note-by-note, but listen, and see if you hear the differences.

[@Pete-z6e]

Kyle Peterson , well said Kyle. Have made the same comment myself.

[@richardlusk1715]

Woohoo,Grace Forrest is the most BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!.not to mention how very Talented she is.

[@ezekielsmukler2903]

Heard Doc Watson and Fred Price play this tune different than how Grace Forrest and Steve Arkin do it.

[@JudgeSturdy]

Doc and Fred's tune is a version of Whoa Mule. This one is a piece made up by Garry Harrison.

[@ezekielsmukler2903]

I heard Doc Watson and Fred Price do "Humpback Mule" different than how Grace and Steve do it.

[@zymelin21]

[@calebhall9157]
