Love the dog behind sitting ever so patiently

[@lembriggs1075]

Way to go Barnabas! Very nice! And the ladies on The washboards! The whole band!

[@patrickobrien1566]

What a strong voice Matt Bell has it certainly resonates in this setting.

The OLD KEN COLYER BAND IN THE UK WOULD BE PLEASED THE TRADITION CONTINUES!

[@connieclemow4273]

Barnabas is superb as is everyone great . Love the Superbands large or small. Thanks again for sharing.

[@oliverz.3555]

He is a great trombone player, but in cornet -sorry - not good. He hit this low notes not really good.

[@connieclemow4273]

I think he is great as all the band in whatever they do. The talent is trying and doing so many instruments. Maybe always not perfect but still great ...

[@oliverz.3555]

I know the proble m between the mouthpieces trumpet/trombone. The most musicians have problems there, I'm too. Don't untderstand me wrong, but cornet is not his best instrument (it's the same, when I try to play piano. I lernt it, but don't play it since 30 years now)

[@DanPurdy1]

I have heard him play much better on other videos. A beautiful, crystal tone. Pure as can be.

@@oliverz.3555 I believe that the ability to enjoy anything depends on being able to ignore imperfections

That vocalist could sing all day...hes got a gorgeous voice. The violinist is holding the bow in the weirdest way ive ever seen!!!

[@hank1519]

Beautiful vocal and the rest of the band shines as well.

I'd heard it sung every so often but the other day listening to a 1950s "Biography in Sound" of F. Scott Fitzgerald I heard a version used as background. Suddenly it's more interesting to me.

[@PopsCoffee]

Thanks, jazzzbo43. 'Wabash Blues' was composed in 1921 by Dave Ringle (words) and Fred Meinken (music) . Great to hear the rarely-performed vocal. Also interesting to compare this version with the more gently-paced one (also in the key of E flat) by the The Loose Marbles, directed by Michael Magro, when Barnabus played trombone and Todd played banjo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqTd2d_hqpro6s

[@robertduis6730]

Interesting to hear the way a Trombone-player plays the TRUMPET => "With "long" notes and longer phrases".

[@87sailorgirl]

It's Sabine McCalla ..... fine country/blues/folk singer - songwriter .....

[@shurshot2764]

@3:00 - what other Hoosier song is he quoting?

[@Kanaka38]

Matt Bell.............. Guitar Barnabus Jones..... Trumpet Aaron Gunn............ Fiddle ( Male ) Todd Burdick.......... Tuba Chris Booth............. Banjo ( sitting on pink bucket ) Defne Incirlioglu...... Washboard ( Pink top ) Joy Patterson.......... Washboard Rhiannon Giddens... Moraccas Not sure of the other band members. Correct me if I've got any wrong please.

[@zzzpht]

You are accurate with the exception of the maracas player. I'm certain it is not Rhiannon Giddens. You can get a closer look at her and listen to her sing at kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=hlsbcU74syk. That is not Rhiannon's voice. The banjo/uke player is from 8 Dice Cloth but I don't know his name. At any rate it's a great band.

[@Kanaka38]

Banjo is Chris Booth, usually plays on a fiddle, when with Eight Dice Cloth.

[@Kanaka38]

Just played Rhiannon Giddens Lonesome Road video on You Tube, and I think you are right.

[@zzzpht]

Thanks, I've seen him a number of times and never knew his name.

[@shurshot2764]

@@zzzpht That is NOT Rhiannon Giddens!!! She's never busked in NOLA. Certainly not in 2017

[@87sailorgirl]

So how is it that Rhiannon Giddens is playing ? Singer, banjo, scholar of African American Music ... Now a McArthur Scholar : on Terry Gross 'Fresh Air' NPR earlier this year: "Giddens notes that the modern banjo draws from the African instrument known as the akonting, which is made from a gourd. "In the first 100 years of its existence, the [American] banjo was known as a plantation instrument, as a black instrument," she says."

[@zzzpht]

The maracas player is not Rhiannon Giddens. She is a mystery girl that nobody seems to know.

10/4 .. thanks
