Hold On | Filmed by Dan Torigoe for Dolceola Recordings
Added 2018-08-17 17:00:02 +0000 UTCDan Torigoe is one of the hardest-working and hardest-travelling field recorders that I know. A few weeks ago He and his assistant visited my place, filmed, photographed and recorded a bunch of songs.
Apparently, his recordings of John Haywood, Lee Sexton, Jack Bunch, myself and a few others will soon be released as a compilation album of Kentucky-origin banjo music. In the mean time, he has been uploading a lot of blues and sacred music from other places he has explored throughout the southeastern United States.
Check out his other short films here: https://www.youtube.com/dolceolarecordings/
And perhaps throw him a thumbs-up and follow his posts here:

Tonny, that is a Weymann "Keystone State" made in Philadelphia about 1910. Here's a video where I talk about it and show a few details: <a href="https://youtu.be/UEDcEFmuefg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/UEDcEFmuefg</a>

2018-08-25 16:42:33 +0000 UTCGreat playing Clifton, and what a great banjo sound too. What kind of banjo is that?

2018-08-22 15:53:35 +0000 UTCDo you know what kind of mic Dan used? It looks like one of those cascade rca 44 copies, but I could be mistaken. It sounds great!

2018-08-18 18:23:13 +0000 UTCI love what Justin said! But for the sake of saying something because I’ve had a few gin and tonics. I love the pastoral feel on that! Especially to a hack like me living in west coast suburbia! Beautiful work all around!
