this was fun ! .. talented girls.. love um :)

[@markwilliams8532]

You girls make my want to get up and dance around my room. You are all fine musicians and cute maybe someday you would do a reunion show near Los Angeles ca. so i drope what ever I'm doing to come see you play.

[@fiddlinshim]

No, no. That's Manco Sneed's "Goodbye Girls". Nothing to do with Boston. I can understand the temptation, given that it was recorded in Cambridge, but... Great playing!

[@AshleyAriesK]

Ok,makes sense now. I was thinking that If this is supposed to be the (Goodbye Girls)I'm Going to Boston,early folk song I heard/learned about as a child,then it must be an extra extended length,really different take on it,remake version,cuz I still wasn't able to recognize it well over 1/2 way through...

Love it!!!

[@garrettmoore1549]

The name I've heard for this tune is Sally Brown. The tune Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston, made popular by Hiram Stamper, is completely different.

[@pmadamson]

Thanks for that. I've heard this on youtube in a few versions and is not the same as the song I've heard. I'll look up Hiram Stamper.

[@rafestefanini9239]

this is a tune called Goodbye Girls, from Manco Sneed

@@rafestefanini9239 Thanks Rafe. Here is yet another example of how tunes and tune names have sometimes been interchanged.

⁠Look up Art Stamper must be Hiram’s son. His version is very good too

[@hawthorneguy]

The banjo volume was squelched. Could barely hear it. Sound people, please don't make this mistake.

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Allison needs a mic. What kind of low-rent operation is this? :')

[@whipsnade13]

Can't hear the bass either.

[@MrMusicguyma]

I'd suggest the banjo player should have moved the mike lower since it is tune not a vocal song. But in the room the volume was probably fine.

[@jysmtl]

Isn’t this just a smart phone video? No indication of the sound in the room or the work of the “sound people”.

It took me a minute, but I finally figured out this song is ripoff of Jerusalem Ridge. These ladies are fantastic so that's not a slam on them.

[@ElsewhereDotOrg]

Unlikely, since Jerusalem Ridge was written in the early 70s and the source recording for this tune (which Joel Shimberg pointed out a year ago is Manco Sneed's "Goodbye Girls", not "Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston") is from the early 60s. And there honestly isn't that much similarity between the two tunes to begin with.

[@thecathancegroup]

Too much fiddle, and very repetitious.

[@peterfriedman2830]

The sound balance trouble (the banjo and bass were drowned out) deprived the longer guitar pattern of enough counterpoint or variation and that was what made it sound too relentlessly repretitious in this video.That part seemed so 'unresolved' that when it did end, the audience cheered, probably from relief from the tension it generated. The question that of course raises is 'would you ever do this kind of thing (a long unresolved, relentlessly repetitious melody cycle that you eventually break to resolve) deliberately?' To find an answer, check out Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4rQg3RqaqeNo8U

[@DanielCPurdy]

It is a fiddle tune.

[@gsco82]

@@thecathancegroup Do you know what the word rudimentary means? You are criticizing a fine, professional level fiddler.
