Mike Witcher & Ryan Cavanaugh - Salt Creek 

It’s 2024 and I’m coming across this for the first time! Damn! So good!

I still come back to this video constantly. My favorite version of this tune

I have listened to this many times. Mike’s lick at 1:37 gets me every time😊

Two master musicians right there !

Ryan is a heck of a banjo player and a great person all around. Iv met him once in North Carolina and listened to him for an hour pick.

GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!! Very nice and at a great tempo. Everyone wants to rip through this tune at light speed. So much nicer like this!!

I know you guys posted this video a long time ago, but I just came across it tonight, and I LOVE the way you both play this!!!! I was just looking for a simple version of Salt Creek on banjo, for a student. The banjo playing here isn't simple (I found an easy tablature for her), but it's something new for ME to work on now! .... And I suddenly have the urge to run out and buy a dobro! LOL!

I'm probably 1K of the 191K views! One thing unique here that I really like is the percussive thing Ryan does hitting his picks on the head of the banjo. Such timing. I try to do this and my fingers just get stuck in between the strings.

great stuff lads.

As a visual artist, this is just the kind of thing that gets me practicing when I don't want to. Masterful. Thanks for learning your craft this well. This is the meaning of life , right here. Inspiring x 100.

My banjo just walked away from me for not treating it right after I watched this. That is incredible. The melodic licks with the single string licks are so good it’s insane. Well done

I love this video so much. SO relaxed, so brilliant. Mike, you still there? Would love to see you play again

Ryan had the right groove at the beginning.

Man I love this played with that slower tempo and laid back feel.

That was amazing

1:52 is among my favorite RU-vid moments of all time

Wow. No words, except, I want to hear more!

Incredible chop on that dobro, not to mention the incredible sound of the two together! Some great licks you don't see on the banjo often. Very nice!

Awesome thanks for the tune.👏👍🇨🇦

Super super job, both of you! Unique rendition resonating with the "old timey" roots of both original bluegrass as a genre and of this song while bringing contemporary spice to it. I'm a new subscriber!

Incredible job, both of you. Love this video!

The duet lick at 2:23 is out of this world.

Well shit, that rounds it up and puts it into one tight little bag!

So, this is completely badass! I have both a banjo and recently got a dobro.... so.. any chance you two complete badasses could please make a tutorial? Would $50 be any decent offer?

Put this on Spotify? Great tune

I would so love to hook up and jam on and get some bass and drums all over this and get a Jam on !

Does that Deering Legacy have the 06 or Kruger Swiss ring? Love that sound and want to buy the right ring! I love your version of Salt Creek!!

thats sweet yall should bare down it a little

I need to learn the lick@ 1:36. It's a tough one.

Amazing, guys! What tuning on the resonator?

What microphones , mic amp/rack, audio interface any/all are being used here to record banjo dobro

Anyone know what kind of mic’s they’re using? Great performance!

Hello ! What is the brand of your mapple (it seems) squareneck ? Regards,

Tremendous. i think Matt flinner would round out a nice trio

Hey Mike! Wanna play on a song of mine?

What brand of banjo is Ryan playing?

Anyone know the tuning the dobro is in?

Ryan, is your dad MIke Cavanagh ? A photographer who is a member of deviantart ? ..if so, tell him his old DA friend Sally from Sonoma, & California is looking for him ....
