I am not sure if Etta claimed to have originated this piece. Dave Stacey learned it from the recording made by Lacey Phillips who from memory I believe was married to Etta's sister Cora. There is a version on you tube where Etta plays it accompanied by her sister Cora Phillips playing guitar.

Perhaps you haven't noticed the fact that this track features dancing by two members of the group. If you want to hear banjo player Emily Spencer singing there are plenty of other tracks by The Whitetop Mountain Band on You Tube and on numerous recordings where you can hear her. Take a look around.

My apologies I misread your post. Must cut down on the booze.

@@Backup6Box Did David Bass teach you how to fiddle and dance at the same time? ruclips.net/video/c3LV12wAZ7A/видео.html

Man (or woman) leaves the old home place. Stays away and out of touch with the folks back home for so long. Returns home to find friends and neighbors have all gone to that beautifull land . i.e: Dead

@Backup6Box ah, thank you. And so in the end, he'll (she'll) see them in Heaven?

You can never go back home.

Hey Wiley, as someone who isn't from the South you possibly feel that I am not qualified to comment. That may be so. I am sorry if things didn't go right in your and Enoch's relationship with Alice. However I must point out that she did a damn good job in promoting old time music with her magazine which she founded and ran for so long. Sadly just recently it seems to have died. Many of the Northern and Californian folks that came down South did a pretty good job in helping to spread and promote the music and musicians e.g;, John Cohen, Mike Seeger, Ralph Rinzler, Alan Jabbour, Bruce Greene to name a few.. I assumed that as this track was from the Heritage label then Bobby Patterson was responsible for the recording. Is that not so?

Yes Bobby produced that tape. Heck, Alice was ok, but it seemed like she became a pest in latter days. What finally happened was hellacious. Anyway, Alice and Enoch kinda fell out over it all. As a result, the tape never did get much support around here. If you are interested in hearing more of Enoch, I am in the midst of organizing my personal recordings for publication. When I finally get done, I would be glad to send you a copy for postage cost. Thanks for your reply!@@Backup6Box

Oh heck, Alice was Ok, but sure was aggravating. Yes, Bobby produced Old Captain Rabbit and Alice mixed. As was pointed out, the mixing is not so good.

@@Backup6BoxWas thinking when Bob played an Imperial banjo?

Packed club, no room to manoeuvre and too close to be able to get everyone in frame. However the lovely Nadine is included more in otherclips which I posted. See "Doney" for example. The poor lighting didn't help either but it's the quality of the music that matters.

Melissa, I think of Carlie often and will always be thankful for the time we spent. I first met him in 1979 at the Low Gap fiddler’s convention. Soon after, I moved to the area. Stopped at his roadside store on 268 and we ended up playing for hours. We sounded much better 9 years later when we made this tape. I miss him.

Unfortunately There is very little available of Munsey apart from the two tracks on here from the Rounder album I am aware of only two other tracks of from what appears to be a beaten up private recording. If you wish to know more about Munsey who played quite an important role in his area there is an article about him in the last edition of The Old Time Herald written by Josh Beckworth who wrote an excellent book on Grayson & Whitter.

In the mid 1980's BBC TV in the UK made a series of six programmes of English Folkie Mike Harding cycling down through the Appalachians visiting various musicians. This is an excerpt from one of those shows. There are others on this channel e.g. Dellie Norton and Gerry Milnes from the same series.
