Inspired by a recent post by Charlie Marks about the power of traditional music, I spent the last day in Montana putting together a little session of traditional clawhammer tunes. While I love using the banjo for my own original art and compositions, I never forget the roots of where this instrument (and my love for it) comes from, and this session is dedicated to the beautiful and enchanting legacy of clawhammer banjo."In our lives, we imbue the words we use, the songs we sing, the places we live, the food we eat, and the homes we make with meaning. Art flows wherever we let our soul slip from within us to about us and whatever our soul is able to touch is filled with us.
A symbol, a word, a song that has been passed down has a deep power to it. Not only do these things flow from us, but generation upon generation we imbue them with ourselves. A word, a song, a symbol becomes imbued with the essence of every person that gives themselves to it, whether we understand this or not."
