Joel and I were very happy to be back at The Historic Methodist Campground on Saturday. We always have a fun time there and everyone is very, very nice and enjoy the music.
Sandy was kind enough to come with us and videotape the performance. Here are some clips and I hope you enjoy.
Mark,
I’ve done Gypsy Rover before, but it might be time to give it the three camera treatment.
As for going out and playing …just do it. It’s fun and doesn’t hurt.

Hi Kelly,
Darn! Watching these videos makes me want to pull out my old song books and dust off my long neck, then find a place that will tolerate my singin’! I have to admit that you are being more of an inspiration to try to wet my feet in performing at other places other than the usual TWO contests I visit. Even worse, for me anyway, is between your fantastic instructionals and some of the sound clips and videos (good and bad) posted on BanjoHangout and YouTube, I feel like I should just take the plunge and post some of my own. Just need a very good reason to.
Anyhow didn’t mean to vent there a moment, but sometimes I just express my thoughts.
So, I know this probably isn’t the place for requests, but have you ever done “Gypsy Rover” or “Gypsy Davy” for a Folk Song of the Week? I always wondered how others would approach either song in clawhammer/frailing style.
Here’s Health and Happiness to you and your family and friends.
