A whiles back, I posted This.
That first one, Go N Say Goodbye from Buffalo Springfield, is to this day a welcomed camp jam tune at any fest, be it rock or bluegrassins.
Ubetchaiam, bless his heart and vital organs, replied with another of my fav Springfield tunes, Clancy (see the linky).
He beat me to it . . . as I was gonna post that one, with two dif versions.
He got good taste, for sure.
Does this work?
*G*
Neil Young, Stevie Stills, Richie Furray, Jim Messina, Dewey Martin.
The original SuperGroup . . . before Cream, or any one.
4 of whom went on to huge stardom . . . CSNY, Poco . . . Loggins N Messina . . . 4 of whom were prolific song writers, pickers, n sangers.
Heck, they are so good I’m gonna repost Ube’s “Clancy”, n then up his raise with another one.
N then, I’m gonna post some seriously hot shit pickin by one guy most ever one should know either from grassin or Grisman, and one of his biggest fans who’s becoming a major hoss of his own right in the past few years amongst us pickin fans.
Stills, Furray, Young, L To R Up Front Bless Them All.
That endures, that song . . . n so do them three . . . *sniff*
N now, some pickin n sangin.
Josh WIlliams N Tony Rice, Church Street Blues.
Tony, Before He Lost His Voice, Church Street Blues.
The Original, From Norman Blake, Another Hoss.
Ahh What The Heck, Grisman, Rice, N O’Connor Doing DawgJazz.
I had never heard of Tony Rice, until I bought an album called David Grisman Quintet in the mid/late 70′s, and saw them perform 4 times in SF.
Wow.
Rice lit me up, I had NO idea he was a past and future grass pickin phool until the late 90′s. I knew Grisman from Old and In The Way. But that’s pickin for a future diary.
But Tony could and can flat out pick the snot out of the git.
If ya don’t know about Tony Rice, please check out his wiki link I posted above.
In the history of guitars, Charlie Christian was the first electric and black man in white man jazz with Benny Goodman’s band back in the 30′s.
Classical wise, none can top Andre Segovia.
In pickin terms, there was Django Reinhardt, Doc Watson, Norman Blake, then Tony Rice . . . n Tony Tone is the standard ALL are measured by today.
Oh what the heck, here’s 3 Of The Best, Evah!
If that don’t raise yer blood pressure yer stone cold dead.
Bless them all, one and all. What marvelous things they have brought to our ears.
Let’s Pick!
(PS: Mods, how do I embed youtubes? Can’t make them work! Thanks)

Ube, I used to be able to just insert the embed linky from youtube, and the danged thang would just appear in youtube form here in the forum.
But stuff changed, and I know the mods posted what to do to fix that . . . and embed vids properly.
Only, I forget what it was, something about youtube changing the embed linky style I think?
So for now, I’m entering the toobs as urls . . . it loses all the dramatic impact of having the youtube photo, sadly.
But I know there’s a work around, just waiting for mods to tell me what it is.
Glad you heard and saw some folks ya mighta not known about.
I gotta admit, hoss, when you went all Clancy on me in my first diary of this theme, I knew I had a friend.
*G*
Did ya like that live one from ’09 or so, with Stills, Furray, Young at the Bridge Concert?
*G*
I may do some Beau Brummels (Sal Valentino lives in my town) but I DO want to drift further into pickin music as I go.
I really delight in drawing together the various musics that feed what I call ‘pickin’ music and looking for youtubes to show it.
I’m gonna bounce from Goodman to Django/Grapelli to old timey, hard country to bluegrass, newgrass, psychograss n more.
If ya got any thoughts, wade in! *G*
Same goes for all Pups!
Let’s Pick!
;-)
I swear though, the first Carpenters, Partridge Family or Chirstopher Parkening I see I’ll shut this down faster n a chop shop garage door in East LA.
*G*

I urge all Pups to click on Ond’s linky above for Anita Carter, n then run them youtubes . . . country n folk were never better.
Bless ya Ond . . . n thanks. Those are some glorious voices you shared . . .
*bows*
Larue, in regular diary mode all you have to post is the regular youtube linky in html mode and viola… It’s suddenly there..! ;-)
No need for the embed code…! Btw, you could still ‘update’ and post one of those Utubes atop your diary…! ;-)
larue — just link the utube url at the top of the video you want to embed in the diary (like ya would as a comment but cut and pasting that url). paste it where ya want it in the diary. like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RPkJeziNyI
the myfdl format does not require you use the utube embed coding.. just the url from the top of the page.
and, as tut pointed out, you can still edit your post and put the videos in
recommended
Ya mean the url, Suz?
I just use the url?
Dang!
That’s easy!
Lemme try it!
I’ll be danged!
Thanks Suz!
*larueheartsmods*

Ok, adjustments made, bless Suz n CT, and mods.
It’s a whole ‘nother diary with the youtube pic shown.
*G*
Three is the max, btw, Larue…! Two is great tho…! ;-)
Yes. She’s a Carter.
When you bring Reinhardt into the picture, his history would be a good add to the diary.
I don’t know if your familiar with this org:
http://playingforchange.com/
(I mentioned them in some diary at some time :-))
Music is the ONE thing I know that can unite ALL people; it’s wired into our brains.
When you decide to do a ‘drumming’ series, don’t forget this guy:

Oh, forget to say my friend “Rec’d”. *G*

From the Bridge concert, Clancy was good, but Rock n Roll Woman is the youtube I can’t get over:
