Fred Robbins will fill your idle hours with great bluegrass videos. Here are his latest posts:
Hi Folks,
I just "discovered" (read "finally got around to digging out") a 7.5 inch tape reel that I thought I should capture while my 40-year-old Revox deck is still working.
I found a 28-minute stereo set of Bill Monroe and Doc Watson. There's more mono stuff on the other side that I hope to eventually clean up and make available.
Meanwhile, the 1st set is at http://frobbi.org/audio/Monroe-Watson-BeanBlossom1969-1.mp3 and also available on my Picking Page at http://frobbi.org/picking.html in the "From My Friends" section.
I'm not completely sure who gave me the tape, but when I do I'll add a thanks on the Picking Page.
As always, please enjoy!
AND
You want more music? I've got more music.
Ken Landreth ( http://www.oldfive.com ) has graciously offered to digitize and send me even more of his collection.
In the past, Ken provided me the Union Grove 1966 program scans ( http://frobbi.org/ug66/ ) and some of the music of Al Osteen ( http://frobbi.org/alosteen.html ).
Since I "discovered" a copy of some 1969 Bean Blossom workshops only a few days ago, Ken not only pointed out that he made the originals, but offered them to me for posting. So already, in addition to the Bill Monroe/Doc Watson workshop, Ken has given me two more: Don Reno/Doc Watson and Don Reno! You can now find all 3 at http://frobbi.org/kenbeanblossom.html as well as on my Picking Page ( http://frobbi.org/picking.html ) in the "From My Friends" section under "The Ken Landreth Collection"...where there's going to be even more festivals and misc. recordings very soon!
So stay tuned!
I have to repeat my thanks to Ken. I'm very happy and proud to be involved in sharing his collection alongside my amateur stuff.
As always, ENJOY! |
