Check out the Spence’s Rye Youtube channel for the latest uploaded tunes

Just uploaded another tune to the Spence’s Rye Youtube channel.  “Freight train”, written by Elizabeth Cotton.  She played a right-handed guitar in left-handed fashion so learned noting and chording upside down.  A testament to the tenacity of people.  Anyway, you can see the tune at the Spence’s Rye Youtube channel here:

Or you can always link to the Spence’s Rye channel from the links in the right pane, or from the Spence’s Rye Facebook page.  Have a great day!

Clarksburg Farmers Market @ Jackson Square 9/17/11

Played at the Clarksburg Farmers Market yesterday.  Great experience, and the people are super nice!  Getting me more accustomed to playing for a group of people.  No further pomp and circumstance, here are some vids on YT of the attempts at playing:

Great banjo, guitar, and fiddle resource links added

Trying to get familiar with the layout.  Posted some resources that I use frequently that should have something for all.

Greetings!

Just getting started with this thing. I hope to establish a launching point to make contacts with other old-time musicians, distribute recordings here and there, and generally expand my network. This will also give me a convenient medium whereby friends and family may see some of the things I am working on. Off and running, so to speak…
