20 Jul 10 - 12:25 AM (#2948061) Subject: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Melissa I'm looking for banjo players to enhance somebody's horizon. What I want is some names to look up on youtube for players that are easy to listen to and easy to hear..and this seems like a good place to ask for help. Any suggestions? Thanks, M |

20 Jul 10 - 07:30 AM (#2948181) Subject: RE: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Mavis Enderby Not quite what you asked for, but there was a very good program on Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour about the Afro-American history of the banjo, which had a variety of styles and some very nice performances. It's in the archives here (scroll down to show number 350) Pete. |

20 Jul 10 - 08:33 AM (#2948218) Subject: RE: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Brian Peters It is clawhammer, but played in a very lyrical style: waterbound - and look for more by Dirk Powell. Or for something a bit different, the UK's Dan Walsh plays Egyptian music... |

20 Jul 10 - 12:32 PM (#2948375) Subject: RE: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Mavis Enderby Waterbound reminds me of a couple more youtubers, both who play in a very nice understated way, and both have lovely voices too... Father Keith, very nice version of Waterbound here Moosedog, my favorite is Nine Hundred Miles It's a good idea to have a trawl through Patrick Costello's blog: Tangier Sound as there are some great clips of banjo players old and new, as well as Patrick's own very good frailing lessons. Pete. |

20 Jul 10 - 01:09 PM (#2948402) Subject: RE: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Brian Peters If you really want to get away from clawhammer, three-finger, etc., listen to Rob Murch. Couldn't find any clips, but here's his CD. On the other hand, if you want to see some great clawhammer (including a fretless Frank Proffitt banjo), try these: Jeff Davis on fretless Jeff Davis, Pretty Polly Jeff Davis, Beulah Land Howie Bursen |

21 Jul 10 - 11:34 AM (#2949085) Subject: RE: Not hard-driving, not clawhammer From: Arkie Melissa if you are in southern Missouri or around the West Plaines area you could find some great clawhammer banjo played live. I think that Karen Kraft and Emily Dowden are still in that area. Though Emily may be in Springfield, MO now. And there is Van Colbert in Willow Springs. Here is a link to Emily on youtube. Not the best performance in my opinion, but the best recording. Emily Dowden |
