Dock Boggs would often play in mining camps. This became a dangerous occupation as #mining #camps at that time, were known to be rough and violent especially with #miners drinking #moonshine.
He was rediscovered by Pete Seeger.

I've never built an instrument but my dream as a middle school kid was to go to William and Mary and study violin making. Then I missed out on the same damn dream a decade later when I lived in Boston when I could have spent time at North Bennet Street School doing the same thing! I've bought and rebuilt four or five banjos though, replaced skin heads and all that, I really need to learn how to take the bow out of a neck though. I can't get to the 14th fret of my favorite banjo without bleeding.
If I could fix necks maybe I could do that as a part time job if I ever retire! What a great idea!
Thanks for this conversation, I've enjoyed it immensely!

Howdy y'all. #Intro #introduction We're Whiskey and Stitches, a band out of Sacramento, California. We play traditional Irish, Scottish, and American folk music in a nontraditional way. We're anti fascist, anti racist, LGBTQIA allies and god help you if you mess with our people. Looking forward to new music this year, making new connections, and lighting a few fires #PunkMusic #FolkMusic #IrishFolk #Appalachia #ScottishFolk #Banjo #Guitar #Mandolin

Here is a musical couple singing a love song and playing the banjo. It's a painting full of life and energy, and it is sure to bring a smile to your face
As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 857 on The List [1001otheralbums.com], submitted by melocipede.
Have you ever noticed that there’s often a very recognizable quality in recordings from musicians and bands who started their career as street performers/buskers? Maybe it’s just me, and I’m not even sure I can adequately describe it, but there’s this extra bit of oomph, spark, je ne sais quoi, that grabs and holds your attention. Whatever it is, I feel that with artists like Glen Hansard, Moon Hooch [moonhooch.bandcamp.com], and this ensemble, Tuba Skinny, who is sure to bring a get your toes a-tappin’ with their traditional New Orleans sound.
This album made me immediately imagine walking through a park or outdoor festival or NYC subway station and stumbling upon them performing live. I can only assume they are best experienced live, so I was happy to see while writing this that they just put out a live album a couple of weeks ago (Live @ D.B.A. [tubaskinny.bandcamp.com])! So, if you enjoy Some Kind-a-Shake, perhaps next check that one out.
Happy listening!

The cover art is a drawing of various people's legs, most wearing pants, one wearing a skirt, looks like they're all dancing. The band name is underneath the drawing in large drawn letters, with the album name in smaller letters underneath. The background is an orange color, with a bit of a gradient (lighter at the top, darker at the bottom).] [1001otheralbums.com]*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “It’s the terror of knowing what this world’s about”, “Watching some good friends screaming, ‘Let me out’”, “Pray tomorrow gets me higher”, and “Pressure on people, people on streets”. There was a 3-way tie between the first, second, and last phrases, so each one has gotten a spotlight. For the second phrase, the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being “some”.

I heard a rumor (which means it was never able to confirm it, and right this second I can’t remember who told me) that the Kingston Trio was trying out #accordion players before they decided on #banjo 
The #FolkMusic revival could have been an entirely different animal

@AngeloFalls@mastodon.artIf I had a banjo, this would be the only song I'd know xD
Error-after-error, noncommunication, & a month's wait notwithstandin', #LensCrafters finally came through with my new prism bifocals.
I must concede it was well worth it.
Beyond the generous concessionary microfiber cloth (retail value: $15--I'm not makin' that up)...the glasses sound FANTASTIC!
Very proud to say that #TheMiseryStains has now been released: https://moonshinebrigade.bandcamp.com/album/the-misery-stains
Love to hear your opinions of our album, what is your favorite track?
We're off to the Bossche Brouwers to prepare for our CD release show, very exited about that 
*Squeees* I've ordered my banjo, the Goldtone AC-12. Got it from Guitar Center online. I'm super excited to get this. Went for this one for the sound and it will be a good light weight banjo that is a decent one to last a while. I also wanted a good starter that won't sound like a crappy toy. This seems to be the one, along with the GoldTone AC-1, that people recommend. #Banjo
