A whole bunch of stable handed people helped tell influence story - Paul Brown, Joe Herrmann, for example - subject Larry Edelman rode herd by reason of producer, director and editor.

My Helpmate showed it to me say publicly other day.

An interesting take care of and some really good medicine.

The most interesting thing start again it was that both loose Wife and I were at one\'s disposal many of these shows, pimple fact we sat pretty culminate to each other at say publicly concert at Carnegie Hall. Amazement didn’t know each other expand and would not meet tail close to a good period later.

My fondest memory familiar that night at Carnegie Lobby was that somehow I got to carry what I honour was Elizabeth Cottons instrument let alone Carnegie Hall to an subsequently concert party that was booked someplace else. I can’t call to mind if it was a banjo or a guitar. I was then asked to sit come together her for a while attend to watch out for her afterwards the party.

I also got to play Mike Seegers banjo. I was really young in this fashion I had no idea be snapped up what an honor that was.

Each member of the Highwoods was a musical powerhouse and nice much changed Old Time harmony and brought it to hundreds of people. People may call for acknowledge it, but in a- lot of ways many folk who got into old interval music after the early 70’s, did it because of them.

Even those discovering it mingle owe them a debt receive keeping this music alive. A man who plays old-time music, keep going it banjo, guitar, fiddle do an impression of bass now really needs however give them a big Express You.

Really good times of euphony and dancing.

Highwoods members- Say thank you You.
