Started touring the bluegrass genre in the early 70’s when i was about 4 years old and we could walk from tour bus to bus and talk to the the great John Duffy, Charlie Waller, Stanley bros. I was a starry eyed little boy to shy to let go of my mammas leg but i remember the greats from Glory Land Park down to East Tn Where i call home now. The best life ever traveling the east coast listening to legends. Smelling bacon cooking on our ole wood stove and mammas voice in perfect sync when listening on the 8 tracks in our ole TN shack

Base player did a great job
I remember the original that said he would rather eat a bucket of mud than play an electric bass.
Great job
Wow I miss the old days and the great music .

Thanks for this. Been at many festivals across the country, the Martin and I. Seldom Scene and the Gents were the biggest draw for me, true professionals, all of 'em. Could jam around the campfires, and often some of the pros would join us. Heh, I'd jam all night, listening and learning. I miss those days. Again, thanky for posting this, listening a third time now.

Man, what a way to reminisce! My all time favorite bg band.

[@proft1942-y7n]

The best bluegrass harmony. The best bluegrass band. Saw them twice at the Birchmere. Amazing

[@marcydobbs1653]

I learned to sing tenor by listening to Duffy. Never reached his standard, but I learned a lot. "Wait a Minute" , an absolute classic.

[@WileyPhillips]

Kept up with John Starling until his death. My favorites ever. Starling,Duffey,Ethridge ,Aldridge and Tom on bass. Miss them so much.

The great John Duffey

[@bradsparks6008]

You are excellent! I loved the JMB content and now some high quality footage of the seldom scene with Lou.. can't thank you enough

[@TheTimFitzPatrick]

I’m glad you enjoyed these. I hope to share more as time permits.

[@ron1457]

Thanks so much for this God I miss them!
Saw the new band before Covid in Warsaw, Va and really enjoyed it.

[@dougfreeman7641]

They were at their best with John Duffy, may he RIP

[@dfish51]

Lou is one of the best musician today and maybe ever.

[@rgbeee.1826]

This footage is amazing, thank you! It's the best gift❤

[@NSResponder]

Every man on that stage is a virtuoso.

[@kyawksoe2159]

The most I like best bluegrass band

[@michaelmullins1290]

I got to set back stage with Duffy and Tony Rice. They insisted i was there first. I was, waiting on them. I heard things i won't soon forget. For a young musician, I was blown away.

[@rickyreece7743]

One of best groups

[@lindawright6516]

So sad to hear of Ben Eldridge's passing. Rest easy!

[@TheTimFitzPatrick]

Sad new for sure. Grateful for the music he left behind.

[@rgbeee.1826]

Duffey and Ben together again.❤

[@waynedefrancesco4423]

Any guitar nerd should study mike auldridge's playing from about 1:11. Phenomenal, but then the whole band is.

[@onlywatching6504]

Ben Eldridge, John Duffy, T Michael Coleman, Lou Reid and Mike Auldridge.

[@deormanrobey892]

Haven't heard these guys since 1970s at Wolf Trap, so for me they really are the Seldom Scene.🎵🎵

[@Froggobyebye]

What a great show!

[@NSResponder]

No band has ever had better banter.

[@richardcrowson9265]

Whoa. Train 45 in B! Ben Eldridge. One of the most underrated banjo players ever.

Ben left a legacy.
