I never met Earl Scruggs but every banjo player I know and have worked with spoke about him with a tone that was part awe, part excitement and just a tiny little bit jealousy.
(I have guitar players I feel that way about)
I do like the video, thanks – how do you find all this stuff? (not just for me but on your blog, ect – your google-fu is awesome)
So many people have been asking me how I find stuff – I think the trick is not to start with google, but to use it as a tool for pursuing something I’m already interested in. If that makes any sense…. Like the auto-valve. I discovered someone playing one in Thibodeaux, LA. I’d never heard such a thing. Didn’t think of it again until I read your post. Headed off to Uncle Google et voila!
And those Pentecostals? First heard the story when I was (ahem) “developing a relationship” with a fellow who was born in Floydada. The relationship never went anywhere, but I did get a good story out of it!
I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...]
Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...]
So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...]

Earl Scruggs was the best.
Reading about Jerry McCain reminded me – you might enjoy this little example of the auto-valve.
