I thought that was Buddy Spicher. Was it in the Osbornes' 'Up this Hill
and Down' album? I still can hear even the breath of that fiddler on
"Footprints in the snow" too. I imagine how Buddy and Richard Greene
innovated the bluegrass fiddle style around in 1966 at the backstage of GOO
with the idea of Benny Martin and Scott Stoneman etc. I wish i were there!!
My all of LP collection is not in the order since the earthquake of Kobe in
1995. Also I don't have Bear Family CD-Box because of bad economic
situation in Japan...!? So I'm not sure the truth. It just still ringing in
my ears.
BTW, I started fiddle years ago to copy 'Someone Took My Place'. It's still
my dream to play it right...sorry everybody who jammed with my fiddle!!

Subject: Re: Big "Tige"
I am shocked, simply shocked, that no one seems to have had the first
Osborne Brothers box set at hand during all these past hours...
The OsBros went into the Columbia studio in Nashville on 1/15/65 and cut the
following tracks for Decca: "I'll Be Alright Tomorrow," "Cut The Cornbread,"
"Hey, Hey Bartender" and "Lonesome Day" with Benny Martin on the fiddle;
Gordon Cash was the low tenor man, and teh ensemble was rounded out by Ray
Edenton, Lightnin' Chance and Willie Ackerman (dr*ms). "Cut The Cornbread"
wasn't released, but the other 3 were, "Hey, Hey Bartender" as one side of a
single with "Me And My Old Banjo" (recorded 6/23/64) on the other, and the
other two as a single; those three then apeared on DL7-4767, togther with
tracks from two subsequent sessions, one with no fiddle (but with Pig
Robbins on p**no), the other with Buddy Spicher on fiddle.
And there you have it.
BTW, one of my favorite Benny Martin breaks has him turning a lemon into
lemonade - on Mr. Q's "You Don't Know My Mind." It sounds like he forgot
that the chord change comes quicker in the instrumental interludes than in
the sung verses, and has to make a quick recovery via a sliding double-stop.

Yeah... Just listened to "Hey Bartender" by the Osbros the other day, and I
always enjoyed the fiddling on that cut --- That is Benny, isn't it? Of

I'll be working on my umber glow! But what I really wanted to say
was
that the Open Roads are such great well constructed hats that with
a
little steam from a steam iron you can re-shape the crown to just

Funny how these songs seem to pop up after being gone for a while. I wonder
how long it was between Special Delivery's recording of it - in what,
1992? - and the version previous to that; as far as I know, their version
was the first 90s one...

That was recorded at a later (2/8/68) session. The Osborne Brothers
re-recorded numbers several times; another example is "My Favorite Memory,"
which they cut twice in 1967, the first time(5/2) with Harley Gabbard, and
then again on 11/16/67 with Dale Sledd. The latter was released (as the
flip side of "Rocky Top"), the former wasn't.

The recent return of the "Poor Valley" lyrics thread reminded me that
there's another lyric sung in recent years by T. Rice that I've never quite
figgered out - on the "...Plays And Sings Bluegrass" album he does a
version of "Galveston Flood", at one point there's a verse that includes:
Now trees fell on the island,
And the houses gave away
Some [something-something-something],
Others died every way
The closest I've been able to figure that line is "Some stayed dry and
grounded", but I'm not at all sure that's right. Can anyone confirm or
correct this?? I do have the Country Gents version on LP, but alas, my
turntable is non-functional...

Subject: Bluegrass Ramble At NY State Fair
Bill Knowlton's "Bluegrass Ramble" will once again tape a broadcast from the
stage of the New York State Fair's International Foods Pavilion, on Saturday,
August 29th. Performers are:
THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN BOYS: appearing on the "Ramble" for the first time,
and from Wind Gap PA. They often lay the PENNY bluegrass festival circuit in
Coventryville and Nichols NY, and were on this year's 26th annual "Bluegrass
Ramble Festival" in Lafayette.
CREEK BEND: also making its debut on the "Ramble," Copper Creek recording
artists from Buffalo. The title song of their latest CD, "Thanksgiving," is a
delightful novelty song about a Buffalo Family in the 70s riding on Route 104
to Oswego for the holiday. The kids know they're almost there when they'll see
the "naked lady on the square," referring to a famous statue in Wolcott.
DELANEY BROTHERS: The 1997 Bluegrass Band SAMMY award winners; this Cortland-
based group appeared on WCNY-TV last January during the "Bluegrass Ramble 25th
Anniversary" special.
ROSEWOOD: from Rochester and featuring Syracuse native Perry Cleaveland on
mandolin and wife Caren on lead vocals and guitar.
The show will be taped for Classic FM from noon to three; then each band will
give an hour performance from 3:30 to 7:30 pm. ]
The Syracuse NY State Fair "Bluegrass Ramble" will be broadcast on Sunday
night, Aug. 30th from 9 pm to midnight on WCNY-FM (91.3) Syracuse; WUNY-FM
(89.5) Utica, and WJNY-FM (90.9) Watertown NY
Information: 315-457-6100 or udm...@aol.com

Folks I hear several times daily (at least 3 times today ny noon) our
very own Rhonda Vincent on all the country music stations. She's adding
some vocals (and laughs) to the the big duo from Nashville, yep Dolly
Parton. I can't seem to remember the name of the song, but it's good!
Something about a bartender.
Way to go Rhonda!

Subject: King Of The Hill 8/21
It's Friday again. Man, this week flew by. We've got King Of The Hill
again this afternoon at drive time putting country up against bluegrass. If
anyone missed it last week, Tom T. Hall ripped Brooks and Dunn a new one for
our very first attempt.
We're both picking a new one for this week and since we won last time,
bluegrass comes out first.
Mac says that he is going with the latest one from George Strait called
True. I spent about 45 minutes last night in the production room going over 3
songs and finally decided that we are going with Blue Highway's Getting Over
You. I figure we better come out punching on this one and Rob Ickes tears off
one mean solo on this.
Shoot, this is kinda exciting. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll bet it
will be tough.

I see in the Personal Appearances section of BU, that LRB and Skaggs will be
at Lincoln Center Saturday and Sunday, respectively. This is at a park,
listed under two names; Danroash, and/or Damroash, or something like that.
There are no details about the shows. Any of you New Yorkers care to fill us

Subject: Arnold Shultz
Can anyone give me a good source of information on
Arnold Shultz (sp?).
I know the following:
..Bill Monroe credited him with having a major influence
on the blues content of bluegrass music.
..Merle Travis credited him with being his major influence
when he developed his finger picking style (county ragtime).
Given the impact of these two guys on 20th Century
American music, it would appear that ole' Arnold
may have had a HUGE influence. I would sure like
to know more about him.
Thanks,

Rarer than hen's teeth... You're right - once you get one, nothing else
compares. Unfortunately, tortoise shell products are illegal (at least to
sell), so it's going to be nearly impossible to find anyone who'll confess
to owning one, much less selling one.
