the more i listen the more i feel i was born in the wrong era. I've heard a lot of "banjo music" but i absolutely love the way he plays regardless of the song. it draws me in - like a grandfather telling an old story - i feel like i need to stop what I'm doing, sit cross legged on the floor and just listen. he's inspired me to start playing. Thank you Mike. rip
I love Mike's version of this one . He's added some wonderful things of a Clarence Tom Ashley direction to this clip . He is informing Ashley's touch for us all . Thanks Mike . You gave us all so much . Guy
I'm a year away from moving to Alaska to join a railroad company, I want to work a hardy job, see places and get tough stories for my future grandchildren 😂
Had the distinct pleasure of seeing Mike play in Humboldt County California. Very intimate venue. Just wonderful

Mike was Pete Seeger's younger half-brother. They came from a very musical family. There's a brief summary biography of Mike on Wikipedia.
Ashley learned the tune at the turn of the 20th century not the 19th, as it reads in the info section.
I just found out that Mike has passed on. Sad news.
Does anyone know anything about this banjo Mike is playing?
does any one know what key this song is in?
Dylan brought me here
was he related to Pete Seeger?
half-brother I think
