Bert Hatfield was my uncle. Great guy! Always amazed me when they played in the kitchen 💕 we would come in from VA and his buddies would come over. My cousin and I used to sit on that freezer and watch them play.
That's Winfred Reed on Mandolin. He's my brother inlaw. Sure miss Bert,Snake and Paul. Gone but not forgotten. Thanks for this video! Bert gave me a guitar case, i cherish it.
Great players and as a fiddle player Snake is a particular favourite. We're playing his tunes here in Donegal, Ireland. Also had the pleasure of playing some Snake tunes with some other musicians in the home of fiddle maker Otis Thomas in Cape Breton several years ago. Super playing and fine tunes
Who is playing mando? Could that possibly be Tom Sauber? I never knew Chapman was such a saw stroker - very few can get the old-time syncopation in the phrases playing that way - but he was one of the amazing ones!
My dad Noah Williams used to play with Snake Chapman and Bert Hatfield. They were in a band when I was very young. I learned to walk at Bert's house. Good memories from hearing them play again.
