Amazing to see. Nobody like Reed - deep respect and recall for the way things were, musical and otherwise. Appreciated!
don anderson Don, your name is on Reed Martin’s 1998 banjo CD as having done the recording.I’ve been visiting Reed periodically to play the banjo together with him. Although Reed’s final CD contains 37 songs, I’ve read that he actually performed around 90 that were recorded. I’d really like to talk to you about that recording session. Could you shoot me an email at banjoplayer100@gmail.com?
Thanks
I’d like to talk to you about that recording as well.

Hands down one of the greatest banjo players ever.
So rare to find a useful banjo lesson on UA-cam. Thanks for the upload and special thanks to Reed for the lesson.

Great old-time banja. Thanks.
So good to see and hear Reed. One of the most amazing musicians that I know.
If you know him, could you help me get in touch with him? Im an experienced guitar player but beginner banjo player here in the bloomington area and i would love to chat with him and pick his brain about banjo and history
One winter quite a few years ago, I broke my leg early in the ski season. I was out for the season. I bought a banjo, and was gifted Reed's 'Old Time Banjo' CD. His home phone number was on the back cover. I called him. Reed not only took my call, but shared more than any beginner/ stranger deserved, including mailing me his personal CD collection of favorites (at his cost), sharing many technique tips to get me started, and even a follow up phone call or two. One was a voice message (live) recording of a tune I had asked about. Forever grateful, I'm lucky (We're lucky) to have a person like Reed in our midst. Oh yeah, inspirational, generous, and entertaining too!
Never met the man in person, but this video almost gives the sense I've known him since I was a kid. Thanks and Thanks.
Very cool. I’m curious what tune was it?

Thank You Reed - for the lovely great art; playing, talking and singing. Donald Fransson from Sweden.
Wonderful, thank you
I met Reed on a bike ride recently, nice guy!
This is amazing to listen to being from near Bloomington and hearing the living history he has accounts of! I’m so grateful to hear these stories that would otherwise be lost ❤
