Just in time for Christmas, some worthy has posted half a dozen old videos of DeDanann on YouTube, the first link of which is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUnSUfw0WGc
Click on the user's name for the others. This was a truly grand band who played diddley exactly the way I like it, rapidly, articulately, with soul and the infectious lift that gets your toes tapping involuntarily.
Great stuff. You have to love the bow ties. And there's a surreal feel to the boat videos. Great to hear Charlie's banjo playing - not a lot of that available.
I believe it's called The Tap Room and is followed by Lord Ramsay's Reel. On the Mist Covered Mountain LP/CD they are preceded by Langstrom's Pony in the last set.
Just today I was looking at that CD Mist Covered Mountain and saw the set with Lord Ramsey's reel preceded by The Tap Room, so I was wondering if that was the one. Thanks Kevin 'gess I've got work to do!
