Lost Recordings of Old Time Music
Some incredibly good old time recordings have disappeared. I'm not talking about old wax records and field tapes - these are modern recordings that can no longer be found except by sheer luck.
So keep an eye out for these great recordings next time you are browsing the sales table at a festival or concert. Occasionally a small stack of these will turn up somewhere, especially if one of the artists is performing or teaching at that event.
"Living Black and White" by The Heartbeats Rhythm Band, Marimac 9048, cassette (1991)
Tara Nevins, Rose Sinclair, Beverly Smith, June Drucker
"One Eyed Dog" by Dirk Powell, John Herrmann, Tom Sauber, Yodel-Ay-Hee 008
"A Moment in Time" by Brad Leftwich and Dan Gellert, Marimac 9038, cassette
"Ida Red" by Ida Red, Yodel-Ay-Hee 024, CD
Polo Burgiere, Nadine Marinelli, John Herrmann and Meredith McIntosh
"Old Time Music Dance Party" by A.Robic and the Exertions, Flying Fish 415, cassette
Bruce Molsky with Mike Seeger, Paul Brown and others
"Cool As Grits" by Cool as Grits, cassette
David Bass and I think Ken Inoue, Kazumi Inoue
"Red Prairie Dawn" by Garry Harrison and the Mule Team, CD (2000) This recording is quite new but I think it was self-published - Garry - MAKE MORE!
"Fly By Night String Band" by Fly By Night String Band, Fretless 146, LP, 1970's? This is older and may have only been released as an LP. Bill Christophersen, Kevin Krajick, Scott Kellogg, and possibly Scott Ainsley

I saw your comments on "lost" recordings, including the 1981 LP "The Fly By Night String Band." I was a member of that now long-defunct band, and still have a stash of the LPs, if anyone would like one. If we can find the original master, maybe we'll look into reissuing it on CD.

Good to hear that there's a stash of these somewhere, Kevin. My guess is that the master is still in Chas Eller's archives up here in Vermont. I'll poke around a bit and see if we can come up with it.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the offer but I have the CD myself. I bought it when one showed up on a sales table at a workshop. But I think there are few or none left now of the first CD and I think they should make more.

Cool as Grits' first cassette was called "We Like 'Em Hot" and that had Ken Inue on banjo. The second, "Still Life with Cornbread" had Mike Fleck on banjo. David is playing with a group called The Forge Mountain Diggers and the'll be releasing a new CD at the Mt Airy fiddlers' Convention this June.
Anyone remember recordings that might include my brother Matthew Oppenheimer. He played with Fly By Night String Band, I believe and was part of the Old Time Music Project at the Eagle Tavern in NYC. I would really love to find some of his stuff.
thanks!
