Sam Bush, Bobby Hicks & Alison Brown "Wayfaring Stranger" 2/6/10 Harvard U

[@DanPurdy1]

Three of our best musicians playing what might be our oldest folk tune.

[@freewill1114]

Wow! MARVELOUS performance by all 3 of these outstanding musicians. I am particularly impressed by Sam Bush's mandolin work, but the whole performance was just incredible!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Wikipedia calls it “a well-known American folk and gospel song likely originating in the early 19th century” which would make it around 200 years old. The melancholy melody is something that really gets to you in the mysterious way that music works with our emotions. A true classic!

[@jokermaan1]

Sounds so similar to 'Summertime' to me. I'm sure Gershwin would have been familiar with it.

[@ArkRed1]

I'm proud to call Bobby my friend. Such a soulful fiddle player. His playing reaches down your throat and pulls your heart out by the roots.

Arkansas Red That’s some pretty violent imagery, it sounds like you are describing a serial killer, not a talented musician.

Probly the only Harvard grad to professionally play banjo in a show at Harvard.

[@xiangqiforchessplayers9209]

Alison Brown was an award winning banjo player in the early '90s

[@phylliserck]

[@sameubanks7349]

That fiddle.....

[@VeterusTV]

Actually he's improving on the melody same as the other two...:)

[@xiangqiforchessplayers9209]

I didn't know Bobby Hicks played a five string fiddle

[@chas5131]

Alison is so cool about playing she gets less recognition.

[@tomparker8932]

So sweet in a sad sort of way. Not all that easy to play along with......
