Seldom Scene w John Duffey - Live at Winterfest, 1988 

Saw them every Thursday night at Birchmere for many years and Tony Rice unit too...many festivals....great fun back in those 80s and 90s days😍.

they were / still are one of the friendliest down to earth bunch of guys you'd ever want to meet. spent much time always talking about something...and the humor was unmatched.

Along about this time I went to a one afternoon show with the Scene at the park by the river in Ft. Myers Florida, and yes it was one he'll of a show, Lou Ried was in his vocal prime, I'll never forget it.

Gentleman all the way...what a great guy!

yeah boy

mike a and jerry d!

Mike Auldridge and Jerry Douglas share the top tier, but let's also give heaps of credit to Josh Graves who, as a member of F&S and the Foggy Mountain Boys, was responsible for bringing the resonator guitar into prominance and lit the pathway for Mike and Jerry. Also, don't miss another dimension of Jerry's musical reach as the producing principal, along with Aly Bain, of the Transatlantic Sessions - at least 8 hours of top notch Celtic-themed music recorded in acoustically perfect private homes in Ireland and Scotland, easily found on RU-vid.

I saw them last night and talked to Lou afterwards. Great night!

Lou is still in the band ❤

@@seanpyrtle5603 Yes, I'm glad that he came back when Duffy passed. He's carried that torch better than anyone else could have!!!!!!! I've been watching some recent videos of the Scene & Ron Stewart has really impressed me with how well he's fitting in!!!!!!! Replicating Ben's banjo playing is no easy task!!!!!!! Ben would break his roll on something & tie it all together so well that you never knew it. Everything he did with the Scene was intricate, yet when he played powerful, it was never overdone. He always complimented whatever the vocals were doing. A true master musician who never got the recognition he deserved!!!!!!! I imagine Ron did a TON of listening & woodshedding to learn Ben's playing style in & out. I'm sure Ben is proud of the way his banjo legacy is being carried on!!!!!!! The Seldom Scene is probably one of the longest running bands in BG music history. I hope the band legacy will continue to be around for MANY years to come!!!!!!!

doesn't every BG fan? what a voice and he sure knew his way around that mandolin. you never knew what going to come out of his mouth at live performances. great entertainer, great band.

@@kent9311 You never quite knew what was going to come out of his mandolin at times either. lol He just enjoyed what he did & did his best to entertain ppl along the way. RIP John Duffey

Miss John, all these years,he was the Greatest showman ever graced this earth, plus he could sing

Me too

That's a lot of mighty fine name droppin you got there!

this IS a excellent set and i believe tom grey played a stand up BASS.

Sounds like Train 45 but I’ve been wrong before

what particular song were you thinking of marqy007?

Hi Jan...Mark (marqy007) here...yes the song is 'Say You Lied', Do you know who wrote it?

Hi Jan, again, I just looked up the author of 'Say you lied' because of your query and it was author Howard Russell Smith, no date but obviously before 1978 ! Thanks for the inspiration to look it up...Hail the Scene!!

Drummer for The Amazing Rhythm Aces I think. George McKnight used to play it all the time in Prince George B.C. on his Uptown Bluegrass radio show. The Old Fort Jug Band also played it around P.G. in various venues.

1988

@randy jones Is this the Randy Jones formerly with LRB? I ask because I have some studio work, if you're interested.
