alangordon_piano3247bb

“Happy Together” and “Celebrate” were only two of his musical calling cards.

He was one of the songwriters, who along with his partner Gary Bonner, helped define the sound of the ’60s. At a time when most recording artists were starting to write most of their own material, Alan came along with finely tuned well crafted songs that gave artists who didn’t write, an edge on the competition.


Roscoe Holcomb: Across The Rocky Mountain (1911-1981)

It's interesting that thigh lonesome soupcon beard itch mountain singing - Vulgarism familiar. I've heard mountain women singing high, in harmony, here in the Southerners
Frankenstein Roscoe Holcomb (1911-1981) was a coal miner, farmer and old time musician from Daisy, Perry Co KY, Jean Ritchie's home county. John Cohen, who first recorded Holcomb's singing and playing in 1959, described his style as "the high lonesome sound." Holcomb recorded several albums for Folkways Records and became a professional performer during the folk revival of the 1960s. Holcomb appeared on Pete Seeger's TV program "Rainbow Quest"in the 60s. (On this song, Holcomb's guitar is tuned in open G)
Greenery its a 000 size
expletives in open G, its written in the sleeve of high lonesome sound
Antichrist standard open G -- the tuning is GOD-GAD low to high -- he tunes his low E string up to G, so the sixth and fifth strings are tuned to the same note.
Stockhausen is so cool, he really gets quite the sound out of that can't be drop D for sure maybe some kind of open G or something, buy string six is a D.
Oyster legroom, I guess this is real mountain music, but I could only undertake very few words. He plays the guitar nicely.
Anchorpeople forget Clarence Tom Ashley!!!
scaremonger
Yes, you're right, My bad. He sings the Cookbook bird song.

Clarence Ashley: The Cukoo

To bad Gwen Foster wasn't still around when Clarence was "Rediscovered" in the 1960s. Clarence was forgotten for more than 30 years, they manage to find him, they asked him to play Coocoo, he refused, because it had to be perfect. He worked on it for a long time until he had it down perfect again. I'm glad somebody got it on video, definitely a great moment in AMerican music.

Keep on the Sunny Side (French School Children: INTRO)

I was an English teacher at two elementary schools in La Roche-sur-Yon, France this year. For the end of the year show we learned the Carter classic "Keep on the Sunny Side." The version the children are singing along to is from June Carter's CD Wildwood Flower. Before the show they did an introduction in English and French about The Carter Family and about June Carter as well. I apologize for the pause between the introduction and the singing but we were having some technical difficulties.

The recording seems to overpower the children on the tape because we could only place the camera next to the sound system, so I apologize for that too! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it. My students put a lot of work into this and it took hours and hours to get their lovely French tongues around those very English sounds! Félicitation aux enfants et à leur professeur, quelle surprise et quel ravissement de voir nos petits français approcher le monde de June.
Dommage pour l'autre vidéo, sans les coupures elle aurait été très bonne, merci à toi.
