I have spent the last three days in the Asheville NC

71. more awesome stuff to check out, thank you!

Awe.. sweet. I wondered who the artists in this recording are?

Jim and Artie Johnson, from Hillsville? No other artists are mentioned, I infer the two of them laid down the tracks for each of the instruments? I hear really lovely fiddle, banjo, vocals, and guitar.

I also heard quite briefly the sound of a woman's voice (I think) in the chorus. quietly singing back up under his voice. and a little humming with "that old fancy gap"at the end. Very nice.

By the way, hope you've taken your fiddle with you on your travels.. try to get in a few tunes and it will astonish you how much you've absorbed!

maybe I can pm you while there if I'm in need of general consultation if needed? Traveling alone, which is not necessarily unusual, but it's been over 50 years since I left N.C. for California, and never been to Virginia or that part N.C. except when heading west, and a "drive through" from Berryville down to Glalax to Asheville back in the 90's heading down South to visit with relatives on a very limited schedule. OTH, if you're nearby while I'm there pm too!


I have a feeling I'm going to end up having a very difficult time leaving!

Thanks again!
