Your Favorite Song on YouTube

So many...trying to learn this song in open G tuning...

I have a million favorites, but this one stands out. The drum beat & guitar riff kick ass!

...and this one for the lyrics!

Best line ever :LETS DO THIS BOTTLE RIGHT!

My daughter sang this song in school and now I can't get it out of my head The song is not about dancing, but a hobo that has a backpack refered to as Matilda

CCR.....

One of my favorites J E Mainer' Mountaineers.

Plenty of good old pictures.

Outstanding Barney,they were & are an incredible breed of AMERICANS That one even got this old guy up doin some cloggin w/ my big lab--Back when we used to do two Bluegrass Festivals every year--one in Galax,Virginia & the other in Union Grove North or South Carolina??--the fiddlers contests would range from old men in thier 90's to kids not even 10 yet--Momma,me & the kids always had a ball---I think SMITTY would of loved the festival plus the abundently flowing SHINE--I know I did

Impressive considering they are 6 gazillion years old.

gazillion yrs or not,there's still fiddles in them thar good bands

Well you don't know how much post processing went on but if his voice is still that good he's doing well. I've heard a lot of live stuff where they should have given up 20 years ago... The Who during the SB comes to mind.

Richard,Richard--lets make a list of current singers that really suk--lets start around the Bob Zimmerman(Dylan) era--the man was a poet,darn sure not a singer---anyway J E Mainer was excellent in his time & style of music----Born 1898--Died 1971---Little Anthony & the Imperials at Tioga Downs soon--now--those were singers---same w/Blue Oyster Cult at Tioga Downs this week-end----another one--Ian Anderson(Jethro Tull) a poet turned singer---I just love my Bluegrass---It don't get much better then Allison Krause & the Union Station---don't get me wrong--Kansas is an outstanding group & I'm sure to get an old song playable on todays gadgets--alot of processing is required

In the "Good Old Days" they didn't need a pre-recorded track to follow,

and just played a one run through and got it right.

Here's the one of 2 clip of video of Uncle Dave Macon that I

know of. He recorded over 200 songs mostly before 1938.




Born in 1870 Died 1952 " The Dixie Dewdrop"


Couldn't get the other video to post.
