I'm stunned... Yodel on Brother What a band !

[@lorenzofranchi3126]

Vassar Clements is the best fiddler.... He makes me happy when I listen his fiddle

[@jackfanning7952]

Vassar makes that fiddle squeal!

[@oakdogfu]

My God, this is GREAT

[@rayrobinett8126]

Brin Davies Brite,just kills that big base. Love to watch her move ❤

[@JanJohanssonmusic]

Delightful stuff, Jim... thanks for sharing

[@jimobrien9231]

Thank you. This has held up nicely over the years. I was lucky to be able to preserve it. I've recorded many shows but this was my first. I later had to manually dub the audio on the fly from a reel to reel master since this was before digital. I'm glad it turned out as well as it did.

[@RUuser]

Gawd, I saw Vassar at least a half dozen times in the mid to late 70s, but other than youtube clips hadn't seen him since. This is soooo good...

[@jimobrien9231]

I'm so glad to have captured it. It was the final time I got to see him. 😊 I'm pleased that there are others like yourself who can appreciate the historical value of this show with it's direct lineage to Bill Monroe.

​@@jimobrien9231may I add my small story about Vassar Clements?...in the late 80's, he came to Nashua, NH, touring with a regional called "NorthernLights...during intermission, I bought his Homespun tape from him in the lobby...we chatted for a bit while transacting the purchase...He was a true Southern gentleman...I watched the tape when I got home and, needless to say, realized I will never hit that stratosphere of talent...the man is AWESOME!!!

[@JanJohanssonmusic]

pow'rful stuff... thanks for sharing, Jim

[@jimobrien9231]

Thank you. I felt privileged to be there.

[@lizg6515]

Vassar Clements is my favorite of all the fiddlers/violinists I've seen, and I've seen many. He played with such verve! The last time I saw him was on 2/7/04 in Chapel Hill. To the best of my memory, his band played the entire Old & In The Way album, or at least most of it. Wonderful to see him here.

[@emiller9426]

Totally agree. He was a gem and king of the fiddle. But, that said, Benny Martin was really good!

[@peterrowan6330]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music🙏❤️

[@belskisfastlance2782]

The Kisimee Kid. Another great Florida musician.

[@mandohat]

VASSAR college, man. If I ever got to play next to him, I think I would have retired the next day.

[@jimobrien9231]

He was a sweet and gracious man.

[@ICU2HI]

I was just about to comment on Vassar! Got his autograph Loved that man! If he don't make you smile NOTHING WILL!

Few can sing 'em like that any more.

[@thaddeusk4230]

Wow!

[@paullarnce2167]

Maybe when Peter Rowan dies he'll get the fame and recognition he deserves.

[@emiller9426]

Its true. I didn't realize at first what a talent he is. But I sure do now!

[@ICU2HI]

He always has in my book seen him dozens of times same with Vassar. Got both there autographs. reggae-billy was amazing live when Peter came out with it. Thank you Peter!

[@rogertrozelle8159]

My goodness.

[@elrioviolino3549]

Vassar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pmontaner]

If Pete don’t live on forever, what’ll we do?

[@bdegani17]

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Love it. Does Del show up later? I’m 17 in and see a lot of Rob McCoury but no Del yet

[@jimobrien9231]

Yes

[@erikhoffman2866]

Just wait for it

[@emiller9426]

If you like Dell go to Sirius XM "Bluegrass Junction" channel 62. He's got his own show! Its very good.....with interesting stories about his long years of playing and a good variety of music that Del and his boys select.

[@ICU2HI]

@@emiller9426 I love that show too

[@jonreidinger1579]

Sacred.🌏🌎🌍🎼🎶💚💛🌶️

[@jimobrien9231]

I knew it while taping it. ❤

[@tomfoeofboredom]

That's Robbie McCoury on banjo, not Del!

[@jimobrien9231]

Del shows up with his Martin.

[@zakkhoran2884]

Well this is cool as fuck

[@jimobrien9231]

Yes it was 😊

[@krissantos6624]

59:30 Navajo

[@ICU2HI]

My favorite Rowen song. Really Love that song!

[@kishintuchis7076]

VASSAR COULD PLAY ANY WAY , ANY STYLE , HE CHOSE TO . BUT HE LIKED TO GET " LOST " FOR THE ENTIRE MIDDLE OF HIS BREAKS , AND ONLY GET BACK TO THE ACTUAL MELODY AT THE VERY END .THAT IS NOT HOW HE PLAYED IT AS A BlUEGRASS BOY . MONROE WOULD NEVER STAND FOR IT , AND NEITHER DOES DEL IN HIS BAND . IT IS TOO DISRUPTIVE TO A TUNE

[@iknowbut1919]

I think Vassar smoked too much With the Byrds

[@mlwsf]

You mean dropped acid with Jerry. :-)

[@RaiseMoreHell]

No such thing.

[@emiller9426]

Well it shore didn't hurt his music none!

[@NEWYORKINTHESOUTH]

I know, but, 🎶Vassar once said, "The wife and kids are just a front"🔥💯% 😎
