tpbiii Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I have been wandering through my audio/video recordings from the past decade -- I have a couple thousand of them, many of which I have more or less forgotten. This was one I came across that I had sort of forgotten from a year or so ago. People come to my house to play my guitars a lot -- I love to record good players and get their take on various instruments. Well my friend George Hergen is a 60s style folk singer (also Irish) -- which was where my late wife and I started 50+ years ago. George is mostly a solo artist, and he mostly likes 00 Martins, but we have one old Gibson that can give the old Martins a run for their money -- a 1931 Gibson L-2. So one day George played a lot of our guitars and sang a lot of folk songs -- he is mostly a solo performer -- but then when he was wrapping up he asked my wife Aina Jo if she could sing one with him. Well for the past 30 years she was sort of a bluegrass parking lot bass playing high baritone singing engine -- but she knew hundreds of songs and had great harmony skills. So here is what came out -- George, Aina Jo, and 1931 L-2 Gibson. Let's pick, -Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Tom, thanks for sharing that great performance with Aina Jo. That's one of my favorite Ian Tyson songs. Saw Ian and Sylvia perform it back in the mid-1960's when I was at university, and will never forget that. Those were great times for those of us who loved the "modern" folk music of that era. I still play a lot of those songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
