So on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I was in Rochester, NY and now 78-year-old Peter Stampfel was playing for free in Bop Shop Records. Eh, it was ok. He was playing banjo and singing and telling stories. His voice is an acquired taste, for the most part.

Hadn't seen this thread before. As I mentioned on S/D Old Timey (etc.):
Also digging Peter Stampfel and the Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan Fiddle/Mandolin Swarm's Holiday for Strings, which, on "New Polly Wolly Doodle", for instance, and also this string band version of "Telstar", and all over, really, is quite action-packed, without seeming too busy or tweety.
