Episode 43: Spencer Family and Friends (Living Links to the Source)




Get Up in the Cool show

Summary: <p>Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This episode features a lot of my new friends! Thornton, Emily and Kilby Spencer, Kelly Brieding and Debbie Bramer. Kilby Spencer reached out to me a while back with some recommendations for guests, so I crashed at his and Kelly’s place in Crumpler, North Carolina, and he lined up some amazing guests for me, including Shohei Tsutsumi, whose episode aired last week. <br>  <br> Before my trip, I hadn’t heard a lot of this style of fiddling and banjo playing, so I was pretty blown away when we got started. I’m used to playing this nonspecific, northern, festival-style, so let’s just say I expended a lot effort trying to keep up with these folks. Unfortunately, because there were six of us playing in a living room, this episode was a little more difficult to mix than the average one-on-one session. You only really notice it on a couple songs were the vocals get a bit lost. I hope the energy of the jam makes up for it</p> <p>Tunes we’ll play:<br> Sugar hill<br> Johnson boys<br> Lost Indian<br> Eighth of January<br> Stagger Lee<br> John Brown’s Dream</p> <p>Spencer Family and Friends’ bands:<br> <a href="http://whitetopmountainband.com/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">http://whitetopmountainband.com/ </a><br> <a href="https://crookedroadramblers.com/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://crookedroadramblers.com/ </a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crookedroadramblers/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/crookedroadramblers/ </a><br> <a href="http://kelleyandthecowboys.com/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">http://kelleyandthecowboys.com/ </a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kelley-and-the-Cowboys-349823465031/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/Kelley-and-the-Cowboys-349823465031/ </a><br> Field Recorders’ Collective: <br> <a href="http://fieldrecorder.org/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">http://fieldrecorder.org/ </a><br> <a href="https://fieldrecorder.bandcamp.com/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://fieldrecorder.bandcamp.com/ </a><br> Buy Get Up in the Cool vol. 1:<br> <a href="https://camerondewhitt.bandcamp.com/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://camerondewhitt.bandcamp.com/ </a><br> Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon:<br> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool</a></p>
