Clifftop 2024 Highlight Reel
8/5/2024 -
Just back from Clifftop. Like most of us that attend, this festival has become the highlight of the year.
Yep. I came back with way more footage that I can use in one show. So here’s the first reel. When time allows, pour yourself a refreshing drink, open this video full screen, turn it up and enjoy the memories of time well-spent among friends and loved ones.
Just a heads up, my book about Clifftop is available on Amazon. It's titled Old-time Conversations: Finding Health, Happiness and Community Through Traditional Music. Check it out if you'd like to learn more about Traditional Music and the Community that surrounds it. Great fun that's good for you. :)
Thank you for being a part of this astonishing community and this magnificent event held in this most extraordinary place. If there is a heaven on earth, this is it.
Love to you all.
Craig
PS - When you watch, don’t miss the delight in the faces of the players, those watching and the dances of the fingers, bows and folks in the back. This is what music does to and for people.

Clifftop 2023 - Jason Cade & Howard Rains - Saline County
มุมมอง 4.1K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This little gem of a jam was inadvertently left out of the Clifftop 2023 Highlight Reel. It's Jason Cade, Howard Rains and some other (most excellent!) players doing a fine number on Saline County... a tune Jason recalls being taught him by the late Art Rosenbaum. Rather than make up a Second Reel, here 'tiz. I may add a few more one-offs to the web this way. Enjoy! Craig

Clifftop 2022

8/9/2022 - Hello, Clifftop lovers! Here’s my first film of Clifftop 2022. I arrived early this year to experience the people and the night before the “land grab.” Got some fun memories of that event. Figured out it's a great way to meet new friends that can steer you to jams and such once the regular crowd arrives. The number of attendees was lower than anticipated this year, mostly due to the ...

8/7/2022 The Fo Da Fun Folks, named for a section of the campground (Fo Da is short for Fort Davis) had such an incredible jam, it warranted its own post! Don’t just watch this once, watch it a couple of times. There’s lots of “Traditional Music Community“ good happenin' here. First, they’re all circled up and smiling. They’re anticipating a good time. This group especially enjoys playing with ...

It's always fun to get the gang back together. But this time there was another reason. Which of the 3 banjos sound the best? We all put them to the test. You be the judge. :)

I was feeling melancholy about Clifftop being cancelled for 2020. So I decided to watch some footage from last year's highlight reels to cheer me up. I found a version of Road to Malvern that brings me both joy and hope. My hope is that it does the same for you! Thank you Roger Netherton (fiddle), Rachel Eddy (Guitar), Brian Slattery (banjo) and Charlie Shaw (bass)! See you all in 2021! More - ...

PXWX70 Wonky Sound
มุมมอง 9296 ปีที่แล้ว
My Sony PXWX70s are not doing me any audio favors. I record loud, often screechy music from fiddles, banjo and hammer dulcimers played by my subjects (wired with Sennheiser ew100s). More often than not, the frequencies appear to "shock" my camera's audio to where it produces the "warbly/digital soup" you hear in these 4 samples (of music and voice). Is there a MENU adjustment I can make that wi...
Historian teaser

Those that study Traditional music - its Community and history - are equally as interesting and entertaining as the Old-time Performers! Here are a couple of short excerpts from French Canadian historian (teacher and performer), Donna Hebert and the fellow that wrote the book on the history of Country Music, Dr. Bill Malone. This DVD will be out around Christmas '17. More at: www.oldtimeconvers...
