Traditions: Ohio Heritage Fellows; 101; Katie Laur interview, part 2 of 2

ste leave it validated my parking ticket some i felt i felt that that was a responsibility he has a responsibility to be some to be paid as somebody who set standards are or made steps were nobody else maybe it made them

is important because i think people be so badly they have some idea of their heritage i see so many young people with absolutely no clue just what they are or what does come before the end what they have in this rich array of music in art how does a person live without it so you just hit it tall stacks when it was in cincinnati now learned from that

work how blue grass overlap with other kinds of music how seal riverboat nowadays without thinking about a bluegrass song were some songs maybe even an early chess and the team that would've arm complimented that sting though it's hard for me not to see things and pictures are i do think yes we need to be educated because we have dumbed down their music until its two chords in and just there's no virtuosity there's no alarm in their snow spending years learn an instrument which is not only important discipline but it is

important it's important for your show ours to say that well it's definitely him something i started to educate people about bluegrass because as i begin to travel less in state home or offended people worked as knowledgeable of blue braces out of what is a mentor fed would race was in a wall in a while and so this woman approached me that doing a radio show and blue gray snack bela fleck and do they but i did do it i started it with lee griffin a fiddle player and we did all we did everything we do but he would like this was a deadly and j trump vs white gulfport and

they're off the exhibit what we just slammed all the time indeed people picked up on it right away it was really good and their course but he's stated that maybe six months or so and then i got the wind who has been a jewish and just absolute joy wine copper he's a banjo player and we do the show when i first started the show i always had a picture in my mind of the family together around an old time radio you know one that stood up like this a console but turn and that's what i got to see the shaman and i got there people listening to the radio was a group or mother wax in their course i'm so when something we got moved to evening hours on sunday mom

and i got into you image in my head and the image was always of wine in may with allied around us dig in deeper explore and examine and digging deeper we get to where maybe world will get bored with talk about bill monroe or flight and scruggs so we said we start talking about the sad man who they were and they went on to play with in other parts of their career we wanted people to understand how many of these musicians were he influenced by sits in a sense in a hand he brought to a stained reputation the thing that was so central it was before there was really a mantra and we had debbie of dubie debbie c k y when they sell the perk lawson the baby chickens arm

so we wanted people to know a bad guy and through the nearly twenty years that we've been dewan it now arm i think we've got a lot of that message out there have think we've made it more interesting for people to listen to what some of our siad barre seized a he'd say in the knees basements we have a writer and writes for the radio show blank passed or flight and he is just wonderful for years he wrote without my knowing lee was i kind of have an idea only as nail but it i sure would've suspected and for years he sent these letters and they were hysterical yeah hold it and now lomax was the bus driver and every week we just be these hysterical things

that got captured by aliens was all kinds of funny and that kept just at a time when i was a kind of a low with the radio show along comes as to fly to can steer me through the year darkness of that so that that's been fought el continuously still on in nineteen eighty in november nineteen eighty nine so in november we'll have our twentieth anniversary i always hoped that i could make a dark twentieth anniversary a nice that i hate the campaign says is you always hope it will as they say it's been it's been great they've

always loved it on the only place where i didn't get an account of instant acceptance for the music was in russia and i thought they would just love american progress but they did they did it wasn't that they didn't love it they didn't understand anything they didn't understand a word i was saying the only thing they knew was songs from henry fonda arm or change anything he refined and they don't make movies that they considered that lean to the left and so they love oh my darling clementine things like debt from those dealer fond memories and everybody over there had done there jane fonda exercise videos although the women were in a jane fonda exercise mode for next fall for their so i had a hard time holding their attention but

i talked to him about writing i spoke to the rider's clubs when i was there because i do write music as well as other things some some don't have to be is what comes into my head yes but not here tony alice is a great cat i have no name may be teen years i met him through larry mager who played with both those i'm tony was a plague danger with bill monroe the thing that tony thought the way he impressed me and influence me

was that he'd plays banjo that's totally different from anything i've ever it's still really lovely to listen to the place he writes almost all of his material it's mostly instrumental they're not releasing in songs our ongoing does wish i was a mole on the ground i think he sings let mike and saying that for each and done he says that he's a bad night jeff think bibi's older a little bit older but i think you will people will enjoy hearing his music he writes a lot of river boat music and river he's very influenced by the river as we all are head the ohio river washes up so many talented musicians it's just like been in the delta where do you get the washing up all that

rich girl we get all its rich musicians from the river and from the broadcasting arm which in cincinnati was huge rusty york it was one of those early recording engineers said back in the fifties like forties even you could go down to the greyhound bus station and see all these country boys come in with their guitars and tow sacks thinkin that they had come to a place lining the streets of because they heard it on the radio it think of anything i'm sure i will assume his operations

ah allow people think that kentucky is extremely important in that development bluegrass and it is certainly as well he has an exported a ups i think the farmland you have only drive out to the farmland near wilmington and places like that to see as eugene rich a state it is in traditional music traditional are the arms it it's a wonderful state as baby it's just another

mask her is really the deck you be mad in here now home here for years a lot of the old bluegrass songs are probably taken from some of the old ballads it came over from england in ireland and scotland but they changed the tuna and they changed the pronunciation of the word so so they just say on and roll american them a but a lot of them have flames of abuse and murder of women particularly there's a there's one ganim little willies who reappears and all these songs and he is a bed do it he is killed many a woman and matt co host of radio when parker says he thinks will really matter a continuation of jack the ripper
