You are correct, Clash. He also enjoyed Lone Star while he was here.

Of course, they were just props. 8)

Didn't know whether to post this here or in the
concert thread...here's a picture I took of
Dr. Ralph Stanley on 5-string banjo and
George Shuffler on guitar.

It's a still from a video I'm working on. I'm just
getting around to editing the footage I got back
in May.

During this song, while I had a close-up of George,
he looked at Ralph and said "old times." Couldn't
have been better if I'd planned it.

These guys are both past 80 and still kick ass.
I have absolutely amazing Columbia Stanley
Brothers 78s from 1949 with these two
guys on them.

(Back then George was the bass player.)

Both of these gentlemen invented new ways of playing
their instruments which are now used by everyone in bluegrass -
with Ralph it's "Stanley-style" picking, which he is sadly unable
to utilize anymore due to arthritis. When he plays now it's
strictly clawhammer, like his mama taught him 70 years ago.
And with George it's a particular method of cross-picking,
based on Mother Maybelle's Carter-style picking, which is
used by absolutely everyone. I got as much of a thrill of
seeing these guys because of THAT as I did for the music.

Walking history. Walking a little slow, but still walking.


The picture above was taken on May 26, 2007.

Here they are forty years ago. They'd already played together for 18 years at that point.

Thanks for that O'Blivion. Great story. Please let us know when the video is finished.

Makes me glad in the heart that people can actually work together that long. I imagine they spent more time with each other than with their families. Gives me hope I'll still be chasing Pogues concerts in another twenty or thirty years! :D

Pogues Food ?

Post Sun Sep 02, 2007 9:14 pm

Last night our 4 year old Jamaica put on a black "apron" and "chef's hat" (her Pogues beanie) to make us some food. When I told her she was wearing a Pogues hat not a chef's hat she informed us she was making us some "Pogues food". Her six year old sister Seattle was our waitress. Well, how could we pass up an offer like that?

"Pogues food"

Post Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:29 pm

hmmm, Pogues food... I smell a new thread. 8) How did she handle the menu?

They are too cute.

I suppose I could share Jem's spaghetti recipe with her, but the mention of it has drawn strange reaction from another member of the band.
