My Songs & Guitar Episode 1: I Liked The Freedom

[@robertshorthill6836]

I met Bill Monroe back when he came to Montana. He always spoke well of Pete. This is a rare thing for us to hear an informal gig with Pete and his old Martin.

My great grandson will arrive October 30. His name will be Rowan. Perfect! I have listened to Peter Rowan since the beginning. And at ninety-two years, that is quite a while. Here's to all Rowans in the world.

[@kingdomrhye1180]

Thanks for sharing! Please keep it up we are so grateful for you!!!

[@richardcrowson9265]

Guitar sounds amazing and so does you! Your guitar playing has always been under appreciated IMHO.I love this and look forward to more. You've always been an inspiration and hero in many ways. (I used to swear you were the unacknowledged son of Bill Monroe - lol!) Wonderful stuff. Never stop, you cosmic rascal.

[@TheCALFORD]

I just love this guy

Wow! Like many others here, I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this series today. Thank you, Peter! I have been a big fan for years. And what a thrill it was about 6 months ago to recognize you buying produce at the big farmer’s market here on Sunday morning. I built up the nerve and yelled out, “Hey Pete Roans.” You quickly turned around and we had a nice, short chat. You were soon heading off to Owensboro for the Garcia Bluegrass Journey and Exhibition. You were excited to get some good playing time with the younger crowd, like Leftover Salmon. 😉 Anyway, now I’m off to try to learn some Earth Opera and Seatrain songs. What a wonderful series of videos celebrating an incredible life and musical journey. Thank you.

Thank you for this! I have loved your music ever since my brother introduced me to your music in the early 70's!

[@martinbutler6253]

this is such a special treat.. thankyou i'm very grateful 🎼🎸🔊💚

[@ezwriter654]

At a GETTYSBURG BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL in the early 80's I first noticed Peter Rowan play a small body MARTIN guitar onstage. My friends and I initially scoffed at anyone not using a dreadnought like the D-28/HD-28. But to this day I am blown away by the power that Peter got out of that "little guitar". Secondly. whether it is some good ol' Panama Red, or not; Peter Rowan seems to have a perpetual smile on his face? 🤫🤔😛

[@mbodhingle]

Lovely stuff. Just to say how much we loved your visits and encouragement when we supported you in the Black Country ( UK) in the 90s

[@BruceLande]

Thank you Peter for making these videos. Great to see and hear you play your songs. What a great guitar as well. Much appreciated

[@bendummitt888]

Always a class act.

[@petertaysum8947]

Will watch again Often Always a smile when you share your love of the songs, and their stories, and the craft, always. Each song gets better, esp if you like the first one. All favourites. Thank you.

[@CBbehereNOW]

Beautiful. Your smile, stories and songs are a balm for the heart. How right you are about those jazz musicians. Thank you Peter.

[@martinbutler6253]

👏👏👏👏👏👏💚😊

Howdy Pete, good to see you are doing well, it's been a few years since we last talked in the Pittsburgh area (back when good ol' Mac Martin was still around). Your performance with Tony Rice in Kent, Ohio, in 2008 is right up there with one of the best performances that I've ever seen, right up there with seeing Ravi Shankar and right up there with seeing McCoy Tyner with Ravi Coltrane at the 50th Anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival. Your guitar and voice still sound as good as ever, and I hope to see you again one of these days!

[@吉井秀樹-p9w]

Cool and dramatic worldview👍 Wonderful! Listen to the performance😊

[@stubrown]

Thank you for doing these episodes, Mr. Rowan. This is valuable stuff!

[@752brickie]

You be simply AMAZING Pete! GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!

[@StevenMooney-f4y]

Thank you Peter Rowan!

[@MrFrogman54]

So very glad I found this treasure chest of this channel of yours,,,, Thank you!

[@cargotrailerkenny]

Thanks Mr. Monroe for putting up this video and sharing the beautiful tones of that old Martin and these timeless songs and stories.. I have always loved you and your music. You've provided many a special moments in my life when I saw you perform live at various bluegrass festivals and other venues. I consider you one of Americans treasures. That line about the jazz musicians having the best weed got a good laugh out of me. Peace, and take good care of yourself. You still have a lot of good music left in you like that guitar. Btw, I wouldn't have known you had your own channel if I had not seen that awesome set you performed with Phil Lesh on his channel.

[@toddadams6443]
