Seldom Scene - A Small Exception of Me 

Mr. Mike Auldridge passed away today. (Dec 29, 2012) Like Mr. Duffey, he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

It is great to see this. I was the Audio Director when we shot these first episodes,operating on a shoestring, using a board from a dip TV station with practically no frequency response (8 channels-only 7 worked) Duffy was quite a challenge. Buddy Davis

Absolutely loved their music.

John Duffy RULES! RIP, Bethesda, MD's greatest contribution to the universe!

We all have our beliefs and I believe in God.... the ride will never be over as long as we can still listen to them whether it is here on earth or in Heaven.

I can't tell you how much I miss John Duffy....

I saw these guys at Hamilton, Oh. Miami U. branch campus sometime in the early 80s. WOW what a great group. HARMONY.!!!!

In my mind - the best voice in bluegrass - oh how we miss him

what i wouldn't give to see this live again. loved the scene!!!!

Bless you Mike, you made a few worlds brighter, and a few lives seem worth living. One of the worlds greatest muxical gifts.

The location is The Stompin' Ground in Maggie Valley, NC. This is from a show that was produced by/for TNN, hosted by David Holt. The show was Fire on the Mountain. It ran 2, 3, maybe 4 seasons on TNN -85-88 or so. The backdrop is "the World's Largest Quilt, which was produced by a crafter's co-op in Franklin, NC (Maco Crafts) My grandmother and several other relaties and friends worked on the quilt.

Wow, does this song take me back to another space in time.

Listen to that voice.none better

just the finest......Duffy was a gift!

And 5 hours after you posted this one, I watched it through tears! THANK YOU

Mike & John were polar opposites but together they made beautiful music[with a little help from their friends].R.I.P. to both of them.

well, Dean Martins Small exception of me brought me here, i like it. thank you

The boys at their very best.......masters of harmony!!

Love the Scene

I miss John Duffey so much!

So good.

Mr. Duffy's voice was high, lonely, and in search of the truth even as a Catamount searched alone high in the mountains of Vermont in search of a doe for each needed the objects of their desire to survive and thrive; and now both are no longer with us and we are all the worse off because of that.

Beautiful.

Awesome.

AWESOME AS ALWAYS

Every Thurs. night at the Birchmere!

Incredible to think that this lovely song was written by the same husband/wife team (hatch/trent) that also penned the ghastly theme for crap ozzie soap, 'neighbours' : friends,..we live in a very strange world !!!... the incarnation of Seldoms that i was lucky to catch(not easy in england..) had the amazing vocal talents of one Moondi Klien on ld vocs.

This is the "Real Deal".....brill stuff.

Mike and I were friends for nearly 45 years. I immediately tried to send my condolences to his wife, Elise, and two daughters but Mike's email address was already shut down. Does anyone know how to contact any of them? Would it be appropriate to post it here?

Miss the best voice in Bluegrace

@karrenbrickey .....you don't find better!!

Duffy.

I have no clue,I always wondered what happend to John Duffey's family.

Strange,He died a day before his birthday...Dec.30th. and John died in Dec. the 10th.

I liked his version of CA Earthquake though! ( although not quite as good as Starlings )

Who was your dad?

yeah...or like the unlikelyhood that tycoongas has a brain.

I can SEE Bessie. Damned if I can HEAR Bessie.
