Musical Interlude: I saw these folks at one of the first Old Time Music Festivals I attended, and fell in love. I love this song, which makes me think of my childhood, when we had willow trees in the front yard.

"Free a Little Bird," performed by Molsky's Mountain Drifters.

Musical Interlude: I saw these guys, a Canadian band, at the last Old Time Music Festival. Great guys, great music, a great time.

Is it because my mouth isn't entirely awake for the day yet or because Mastodon still has more computer geeks than folk musicians? I posted a link to a great old Highwoods String Band tune and mentioned that the group had a "powerful pair of fiddles" and voice to text on my phone wanted to say that the band had "powerful peripherals."

@ukeist Richie's also part of 's , whose Jeff Klaus inspires a generation of drum-on-a-stick wackawacka rhythm
players in (or alt-post-oldtime) music.

@rachelcholst @americana ... and on my fourth day on Mastodon, I discovered there are things called groups, thanks to @rachelcholst creating one...
Have to go now, but will browse more later, looking for and not finding a lot. may be too ambiguous; and perhaps lost in
and appear healthy
not so much...

Ah, man, I miss the Two Man Gentleman Band, but I'm really glad that I got clued into them when they were still a going concern, and managed to catch them live once, they were absolutely dynamite.

I finally picked up their last album, which is a bit of a crossover with The California Feetwarmers, who I'd also love to see live if they ever make it to my coast.

I've been threatening for years to attempt a recording of Walter Doyle's 'Mysterious Mose', but not sure anyone will ever record a better version of it than R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders
