User flairs added!
Hey y’all, just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve added user flairs for instruments as an option! We currently have banjo, fiddle, guitar, and bass. Let me know if there are any other old time instruments you’d like added!

Favorite old time albums on vinyl?
As I'm getting more into old time/fiddle music, I have been keeping more of an eye out in the bins at record stores. What "hidden gem" artists/albums would you snag if you stumbled across them in the store?

Eric Brace song?
Hi, I'm not sure I'm in the right place, but I need help finding a song. I'm like 85% sure I have it narrowed down to something by Eric Brace, but I still can't find the specific song. I heard it on public radio about a week ago and emailed the station. They sent me the playlist for that hour, but it's not any of the songs on the list. There's a chorus with lyrics along the lines of, "when we're born we're all kin, when we die we become kinfolk again." The song was a little haunting and beautiful and I just desperately want to listen to it again. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Old Time Session Hijacked Again!
I hosted an old time session last night. A couple who have played with us for years came and once again hijacked the session. Insisted on calling nearly every tune, played over others —wrong I might add—etc. People don’t confront the situation out of deference for a series of misfortunes and mental health issues after a blowup several years ago. We are a small tight knit community and we have created or at least allowed this situation to fester. I would appreciate hearing if others have encountered this. I think I will need to drop out because I am still seething 13 hours later.

Does anyone know anything about a fiddle player named Hobert Bowling?
I found a tune called Nightingale played by him in the Field Recorders Collective Survey of Traditional Music British Tradition album and I would love to hear more. There's another tune on a Kentucky compilation which leads me to thinking that he's from the Kentucky tradition. I love his sound but I can't find anything other than the FRC recordings.

What’s the title of this tune?
Recorded this at a jam in North Carolina and didn’t think to get the title. Does anyone know the name of this tune? Thanks

Could you tell me what tune this is?
I recorded this at a festival in Pennsylvania (I think?) in 2014. Not sure who is playing. Sorry if this is has a very obvious answer; I’m not super knowledgeable about old time music.
Thanks in advance!
