What brought you here?
Big Pete Seegar fan
My banjo
My music teacher
Researching American Folk Music
the short documentary
Actually, I still find people who don't really know what a banjo is. Lots live outside the US but have a real interest in understanding this sort of music. Most worthwhile video.
And it’s an instrument that came from Africa
thank you Alan Lomax - without him a lot of this stuff would be lost forever.
i salute you alan
This is what AMERICA NEEDS more of today!
Another jewel in the crown of Alan Lomax. Thank you once again, Mr. Lomax!
Thanks to my music teacher I heard this amazing song👍🏻
This is brilliant. Its funny/ironic, that this music, woody guthrie/ pete seeger etc etc now sort of helps define america , yet left wing activists like many in the folk and trade union movement in the 1940s were likely to be called un american and hauled up in front of the un american activities witchunt ! Its a strange world. Here In england there are parralells, the folk music and its revival was almost exclusivly left wing or communist, but now its regarded as typically english !
In the 1950s Woody and his family found the only solution to thje degenerative nervous disease he suffered from was to place him in a mental hospital in NJ where he stayed until he died in the late 1960s sometimes able to leave for short visits to his family or to gatherings with his friends. When folks visited him, Guthrie pointed out this hospital was the only place in America he could stand up and shout "I am a communist"" and nothing would happen to him
This is the coolest video I've seen in a long time.
wonderful, glad to find this. I Used to attend church with pete seeger, he is a very cool guy to listen to...
Oh my, Pete way pretty handsome in those days.
Gee he sure could pick!!! Beautiful
I enjoyed watching Pete playing his Banjo Thanks !
Alan Lomax is a hero.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
I love the woody footage
The song Texas Gladden is singing is The Devil And The Farmer's Wife. Her brother Hobart Smith sings it on a Folkways recording.
we do very much miss our dearest loving jackie( jguth3).
This very moment this very day,,,,always
many blessings to the dearest family
3:03 is a tune called Down In The Valley.
Thanks!
I wish they kept the entire film of Woody singing "East Virginia Blues". That song dates back to pre-revolutionary times. Earl Scruggs and Bob Dylan sang that song together in a video that used to be on youtube.
Thanks! Your channel is like a treasure chest. Instant subscribe.
Wow, thanks!
Wonderful .. just wonderful. A joy to behold.
sonny terry on the harp... woody and brownie.
this is a real find.
thank you for posting
wow video of Woody Guthrie!! Thank You!!! Its something else I was born in 1979. The Woody Guthrie era seems like a really long time ago. But Yet Pete Seeger who comes from the same time frame who knew Woody will be 90 in march and still singing.
Thank you for posting this!
its still here, just as rare as ever
Beautiful! LET'S BRING BACK THIS MUSIC FOR OUR TIMES!!(TWITCHYMAN,dixit)...and I really hope you Americans made more for a renovated America looking your still young but great history.You shall overcome.lfgogo,Portugal.
Thanks so much. I love this video. I wish I could have been there.
love this
made my night. thank you.
Did you notice how slim everyone is..not like now Gawd !!
Impresionante. Muchas gracias por esta joya... what a gem!
no electricity, no radio, no problem time when your family was your most popular artist.
great video for all of us to watch and listen to. Thanks for posting it. Interesting to me that what I sing as "East Virginia" is a song about South Carolina and Georgia." Shows these songs move around.
The amazing Barbara Dane mentions being out at a dinner party in Los Angeles with Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry (both of whom she'd been studying under since 1955), where they saw this film and she first met Sam 'Lightin' Hopkins (who she'd later record an album with). The film also features her husband Byron Menendez dancing with the American Square Dance troupe, long before they knew one another. This story comes from the back cover liner notes to "Blues Hoot: Live At The Ash Grove" (1961).
wow
❤️❤️❤️
How to play banjo is right! Look at those fingers move! And he doesn't use fingerpicks either!
i feel lke i should be rafting down the mississippi
Brownie McGhee on guitar and singing. Sonny Terry on harmonica. Sonny Terry is on a lot of Woody Guthrie tracks recorded for Moses Asch. They played together a lot. Sonn Terry is considered one of the best harp players.
This is great!
The lady singing is Texas Gladden
@theuc The chorus is "round and round, Ol' Joe Clark" so you got the right song, but it's an arrangement I've never heard before.
That's not surprising, though. Most folk songs don't have much more than a general melody line, so the sound of it changes with every performer. Nothing was actually written down back then. It would be fun to trace it back to it's origins.
Arlo Guthrie, WOW got the fine chance to talk to his grandson
Crazy thing was I told him hey your a Guthrie and he was . He didn't know about his history . Yep he just looks like arlo couldn't help myself from askiN. U know the rest of the story GOODDAY TO ALL.
Does anyone know the name of the spiritual that the old folks start singing at 6:15? Absolutely beautiful!
What Wondrous Love Is This sung by Horton Barker

Good old times, when people enjoyed togetherness, ! do I see a British Sailor in uniform in the Sq,Dancing ??
Does anyone have this version of Texas Gladden singing "DI Di diddle di day" without the commentary?
What's the song they sing in the end? Sounds like some alternate version of old joe clark.
Pete was about 27 or 28 here.
rate the video please!! 5 star!
The woman singing in the middle of the video, is she Almeda Riddle?
Oh, and that dance performed at the end looks a lot like a brasilian folk dance called "quadrilha". It is very popular in countryside St. John's festivals.

Twithchyman: You'd have to find enough people to make it commercially viable. In the meantime, I'll settle for people putting stuff like this on CZcams.

Why? People are weak, and if we got another Jesus, or Che, or Woody, etc. The people in power would kill him and people would do nothing about it. People are WEAK, and it sucks!
