"Cripple Creek" with Tracy Newman on the 5-string banjo 

hahaha you stole my exact thoughts

Absolutely gorgeous.

I gotta agree, John... one Evans to another! Plenty of banjo pickin, and fiddle playin back in the family. What's the chances you have kin in Tazewll, or Lone Mtn, Tenn?

@@SaberToothGary none that I know of but we do have a heavy presence in Boise, Idaho and roundabouts...if you know any folks living there

old ladies need love too!

Me now: I see I'm not the only one. How could one not?

lol.. Barbara Eden, anyone?

Yeah because the digital age absolutely destroys humanity. Period. But don't worry, the tech nerds don't want you to know the truth. The Cons outweigh the Pros when it comes to public digital technology.

A 60's quality Shot is better than a 4k shot. A decent analog 35mm Reel with Studio Light, Studio Camera, Studio Lense can record on a Grain Resolution which is about 5300 x 4000 Pixels. On life Takes the grain is increased and it goes down to 12 Megapixels per frame. Still extreme Measurement. TV-Studios increased still the Grain for better Workflow, so about 4k or 8 Megapixels. And thats the reason why old Movies can be blown up to 4k or 8k as they were filmes in 35mm on the Studio Camera's. While the first Video Cameras (VHS/Betamax) where only made with 307k (NTSC) or 440k (PAL) TV-Sets in Mind.

Taking away film will do that

@@yangziouhci7014 Oh im dead serious! I despise digital technology. Especially for the music business. But just about everything else in the public domain also. The thing I hate most is that digital technology makes it effortless for the Government to spy on us. Relentlessly. And it happens everyday. For no reason. Simply because they can. Very easily. In the old days, they could still spy on us. But it was harder for them to do it without being noticed. But not today. You'll never know it!

Ya know I was going to mention that . . . the quality is tight.

She actually made a few mistaken which to me really adds to the whole thing. Less polished, more relatable

Yea I think she set that one up

@@jayekaye6641 Hi Jaye! This made me laugh. I did six episodes of "What's New." There were about 10 songs on each show. I had to perform each half hour without editing, which means I had to memorize the script and the blocking and do the whole episode without mistakes. If I made a mistake 25 minutes into the taping, I had to start over. (That only happened once.) The director, Joan Sheppard, was adamant - she refused to do any editing. (This was Brooklyn College's TV department, and she was a teacher. Everything technical was done by her students.) I had fun doing these shows, but there was a huge amount of pressure on me. By the time I did Cripple Creek, I had no idea whether I would "nail it" or not. This was the only song I knew how to play on the banjo. My teacher was banjo virtuoso, Doug Dillard. I only learned the song to audition for The Andy Griffith Show, (which I didn't get.) Brooklyn College submitted this series to PBS and they used it on the "What's New" series for children. The whole experience taught me so much about how "the show must go on." Sorry to go on and on about this, but this is all bringing back memories!

@@tracynewman3256 The two near misses at the end add to the piece. It shows that it is fine to make mistakes during a live performance and that the audience will appreciate the music no less for it. This is a great example to show children. I wish I could play half as well as that! ps I was about 1 year old when you recorded it...

@@tracynewman3256 loved the video regardless of any mistake made, there is a lesson video that Brian setzer does in the late 80's or mid 90's showing how to play fingerpicking and technical scales, and he says in the video that it's ok to make mistakes when you're fingerpicking, sometimes there is notes ringing in the back that the listeners won't notice, anyways loved this performance Tracy!

who is she? I've heard of Randy Newman, who I believe was a singer on Saturday Night Live back in the day.

@@dabneyoffermein595 ; she is Larraine Newman's older sister.

Still playing in the L.A. area, too!

I find myself migrating toward wholesome after 30 + years of debautchery

I like wholesome.

@@obtucewillie Not me. The gutter is my home.

@@GrtSatan Theres something to be said for that as well.

This song is about a guy going to the creek with his girl to have "some fun". Not very wholesome... ;)

LOL

Why aren’t women like this today?

@@tracynewman3256 nice

I laughed really loud at this.

Just a few decades too late.

We know what's good

That's dulmmys for you wish there were more kinder people that. Actually kindness should be taught at schookxx

@@rainecoleman2644 If only they taught spelling, grammar and punctuation as well. Oh, wait.

My spelling is ok but have MSso my fingers sometimes hit wrong keys and spelling is usually taught in first year of school in the UK x

I'd bet my bottom dollar that everyone that watched is over 50 and pining for the world we lost.

Yup, they don't make em like that anymore! ! ☺️☺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You're right. I wish more musicians these days were like that

I feel the same way when I play as you say your right

@@williamfitzgerald3789 So well said

tell that to Tool

The Chad Pad lol Bach is definitely not from these days

Plus it's the only musical instrument native to North America.

ah ah ... you haven't seen nothing yet. EVERYTHING was better in that time.

@@catholiccowboy8545 Even the racism!

@@gogurt9311 ... Who cares if she's jewish and her breath smells of garlic and her nose is a shiny red light. To me she's gorgeous and everything right, when i turn off the living room light.

@@gogurt9311 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ho1aZv-Blhc.html

Yes, I also noticed this.

There’s stuff from the 40s that sounds this great, truth be told. Just depends on what hi fidelity was used to record.

@Arturo’s Michelangeli Hey, RU-vid gave us the same profile pic, I feel a little less unique now lol

you realize she could be the same age as your grandma right?

She probably died of old age

Blaster Master dawg, look at the uploader

@@MegaSuperCritic oh sweet

I agree 100 per cent !!

People used to speak with eloquence and grace... times have changed.

I can fully agree with both of you.

Reminds of the live actors on Sesame Street but how they would talk to adults

I think it's nice that eloquence is going away. Why to stress yourself when you can sit at home and order things.

@@amank188 Why wipe your ass? Nobody sees it, then you can really save some time and stress.

@Gearjammer So sad to hear that. Well, I had a heart attack 8 weeks ago, got through that one, but we are all time limited on earth. I'm guessing from your RU-vid name you are a truck driver? Keep safe and thanks for the information.

Exactly my thoughts.

You weren't around in 1965, were you?

I don't get that... In what sense is it amazing "for 1965"? lol

I second that. Roy Clark brought me here...

@@theshyguitarist seems we're all going down the same rabbit hole!

That had me clog dancing.

I spent my youth playing in wind symphonies and orchestras, and while there's a great sense of accomplishment that comes from playing virtuosic music of that sort, there's also great joy in more informal styles like Blue Grass. It's tailor made to fly and damn near anyone can ride if they have a little free time. Richness is a product of diversity and Blue Grass is an essential part of a well rounded musician's repertoire.

This video makes you fall in love with Tracy Newman. You want to travel back to 1965 and meet her.

@@joemariquinlan my man you gotta chill

@@Eat.It.From.The.Back74 Ditto

@@joemariquinlan damn you old as hell then

@@Eat.It.From.The.Back74 Get a life.

depends on who you mean by they lol but actually THEY do. It's called RU-vid and you're watching it

Because no one listens to the radio, there’d be no point. RU-vid is a very good place for this

@@salamilidaintgonfit7576 believe they is PBS, since this was originally aired on PBS

@@salamilidaintgonfit7576 Lots of people listen to the radio, but that's beside the point. The original comment was with regard to airing on television, or perhaps even on a streaming service.

So much nicer than shitty politics , and shitty T.V. programming , and shitty televangelism .

Now that you mention it, the resemblance is evident.

Pretty good at card tricks too.

Only a little bit? Step aside Pardner

@@freshair9315 ...dosi - doe ...

"she's got eyes of baby blue/makes my gun shoot straight and true".

I'm very slow at music. Basically flunked out of band. Bought a harmonica hoping it would be manageable. Amazing Grace was the most challenging song I ever learned to play.

Word is she even has a RU-vid channel. 🤫

😍😍😍

She went on to great things. Improv comedy. TV writer and producer. Emmy award winner. And in recent years one of the best and most loved singer-songwriters in Los Angeles. I see her all the time. She's the coolest.

Ya don't say?

She old woman now lol

Boomer chic

@@ethancook4465 A very BEAUTIFUL old woman!

@@ethancook4465 No matter. Just gotta love her lots more to make up for all this time I ain't been here.

There have been plenty of times when Google "did no evil." Look at all the times when people looked up something on Google and found useful information that they couldn't find anywhere else. Hasn't that ever happened to you, or to someone you know? Sure, some info on the internet is false, inaccurate, or misleading, but that doesn't mean that EVERYTHING on it is useless. It all depends on the circumstances. Even if you do find phony "facts" on Google, whoever put them there didn't necessarily do it for evil purposes, or to be mean or vindictive. Maybe somebody found "information" that he/she THOUGHT WAS TRUE, and put it on the "net" because he/she figured he/she was doing the right thing, and was therefore being helpful or a good neighbor. If, however, the info turned out not to be the truth, or was only half-true, the person who put it on the web can't be held responsible if it was done by mistake because the sender was under the impression that it WAS accurate. People make mistakes sometimes, and it doesn't always make them evil. It just means that they're human.

I thought the same thing. usually old recordings are muffled but this is super crisp.

It's from 1965 lol

verkligen!

Do it.

I kinda hope Corona knocks out all the bad music and we go back to playing music like this full time

Do it but don't hide! Get to know your neighbors by sharing a little shine and some of that Christmas tree bud

You can always go to the CLIFFTOP FESTIVAL & hang out for a few days: [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7_mED5aWDWg.html&pbjreload=101 ]]

You took the words right outta my mouth, Jason ! She's such a cutie..and I'm sure she stills is ! And her playing & singing are SPOT ON !!

Agree

(~):-}

Probably could if you practiced as much as she did.

@@OceanSwimmer201 not necesarily - not everyone is talented in the same way. I know - I am NOT!

Have fun, but also do something meaningful.

​@@davidb6576 You're completely entitled to your opinion, but if you can't see how meaningful this clip is, I might suggest you watch it again. It amuses me that the phrase 'meaningless fun' exists, as if the two things were mutually incompatible. Personally, often when I encounter somebody doing 'meaningful' things, attending to 'serious' matters, devoting themselves selflessly to others, that is the point that they are most self involved, most clamouring for attention, and doing their least well, whatever their intentions may be. It is with the lightest of touches, and with the mildest of hearts, that people shine brightest and help the most. I don't want to bore you to tears, but I feel I must quote at length Herman Hesse, from The Journey to the East: "'...what do you do now you no longer have your violin?' 'Oh, this and that. I do not really do much. I am no longer young and I am also often ill. But why do you keep talking about this violin? It is not really so important.' 'The violin? It made me think of King David.' 'King David? What has he to do with it?' 'He was also a musician. When he was quite young he used to play to King Saul and sometimes dispelled his bad moods with music. Later he became a king himself, a great king full of cares, having all sorts of moods and vexations. He wore a crown and conducted wars and all that kind of thing, and he also did many really wicked things and became very famous. But when I think of his life, the most beautiful part of it all is about the young David with his harp playing music to poor Saul, and it seems a pity to me that he later became a king. He was a much happier and better person when he was a musician.' 'Of course he was!' I exclaimed passionately. 'Of course, he was younger then, more handsome and happier. But one does not always remain young; your David would in time have grown older and uglier and would have been full of cares even if he had remained a musician. So he became the great David, performed his deeds and composed his psalms. Life is not just a game!' Leo then rose and bowed. 'It is growing dark,' he said, 'and it will rain soon. I do not know a great deal more about the deeds that David performed, and whether they were really great. To be quite frank, I do not know very much more about his psalms either, but I should not like to say anything against them. But no account of David can prove to me that life is not just a game. That is just what life is when it is beautiful and happy - a game! Naturally, one can also do all kinds of other things with it, make a duty of it, or a battleground, or a prison, but that does not make it any prettier. Good-bye, pleased to have met you!'"
