Today is another twofer (a term I learned off the cover of a Doc Watson CD). God Bless the Grass, followed by The Lakes of Ponchetrain (Pontchartrain) by our first guest performer! Check it out below.

Now video two: guest performer! Sal from Vermont sent this in for me to share with you. I wish I'd made the audio better, but it was in a .ogg file, which I couldn't really figure out what to do with. I'll come back and retrofit this movie when I do, though.

Sal and I were both introduced to this song by The Be Good Tanyas, from Vancouver, who have, as I mention in the video, a pretty special sound.
P.S. Ponchetrain/Pontchartrain, whatev.

Vaughan,
ReplyDeleteThat video would have been far more entertaining if you had lip synced and fake guitar strummed while the audio was playing. I think that would have been fun to watch.
Sal :)
Next time, next time I will. In this one all you can see is me dithering in the next room, hanging out not realizing I'm still on camera.
