Terrible room acoustics for nasal country singing. Not bad for the banjo.

This is one of the first songs you learn when picking up banjo.
ryushi5
Damn, I didn't realize there was talent in the Lightfoot family.
SkiptheMighty
look I couldn't find a snarky way to say this without sounding like an asshole, just listen to Stan Rogers

Had an opportunity to meet Gordon a few years back and he was super nice
DrDadJokes

BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY KEEP ON SHINING.

That’s…a different song

I thought I might pick up on some KOTH fans.

Oh wow. Once in a while there is a pearl here.

She should do The Edmund Fitzgerald
OddlyPacific
How about Sundown?

Nice vocals to go with the banjo. It would have been better if she had a mic.

There was a time in this fair land...

Man, I hate the sound of banjos. Wish I didn't, some great banjo players out there...
DocColetti
you ever listen to a standard banjo string with nylon, like Clifton hicks, or a older minstrel or mountain banjo, like Rhiannon or Jerron?
DocColetti
Might change your mind. Most of the time when people say they don’t like banjos it’s because of the abundance of overtones
DocColetti
That are produced on a higher tuned steel string banjo.

Only wish the recording was better, she's great
DocColetti
Very fitting for a banjo song :). Those early recording we pore over are terrible
TheChandrian
Go listen to some old Roscoe Holcomb recordings. Great stuff.

Make your own scratching sounds for a more authentic experience.

Always :)

Do not, however, record COPS, the tv show, as thats piracy

If you have a Roku tv, you can watch COPS for free anyways

The Cumberland Gap was also the name of the bit of dual-carriageway from where the M6 stops at Carlisle and the M74 starts at Gretna Green.
thesmelge
It existed because England and Scotland agreed to link the motorways to have a continuous one to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Scotland upgraded 2/

the A74 into a motorway, but England didn't bother for about 20 years, and because it was unlinked, the Scottish motorway had to be 3/
thesmelge
designated the A74(M). It's all a clusterfuck, and explains why there's so many weird junctions on it. 4/4

It’s a feature in a mountain range within the Appalachian, so probably unrelated to what you’re talking about
Trimule
C G was the original gateway to "beyond the mountains" from the East Coast into the interior of America. Daniel Boone & others lead the 1/
