in the album "HOW THE WEST WAS WON" (RCA 2-LP, 1960; Bear Family
CD 2007) has a couple of tracks credited as "THE TARRYTOWN TRIO".
Anyone know who they are?
Thanks, Thomas.

David Bromberg is from Tarrytown (NY). He would have been a teenagaer in 1960 but maybe he was pickin' well even then.

They were a local trio from Santa Barbara, California and just used the name Tarrytown. They later became the Floyd County Boys. I do not have info on the names of the performers.

Anyone know how to contact the Floyd County Boys ???

They have a website, with a contact section, but it does NOT work,
nor does send e-mail to the address listed on the site.

Thanks, Thomas.

It's another one of those East-West Coast things:

East
c.1962: David Bromberg, Nancy Sellers and David Manoff. Not sure how far they went. No releases that I'm aware of.

"Like guest Cindy, I attended Mohegan Colony Day Camp and learned songs from Tom Manoff, but never heard "Song of My Hands." Of course, I was there only one summer. Tom Manoff, with whom I had a bit of correspondence a few years ago, grew up in Tarrytown NY and claims to have taught David Bromberg his first chord...."

West:
c.1964: Todd Grant (guitar-vocals) and Phil Pritchard (bass-vocals) were a duo. No band name that I can recall.
c.1965: Chuck Flannery (banjo-vocals) joined. I'm pretty sure this was the "Trio" (?)
Doug Sherwood (fiddle) made the "The Floyd County Boys" quartet.
