Popis - EVEN GRANDPAS GET THE BLUES:
We worked at Owl Mountain Studios for about 9 months on this project with the great Sam Page on Bass and David Thom on mandolin and harmony vocals and Ethan Turner on drums and producing, engineering and mixing. And we had distinguished guests, Ry Cooder, Terry Haggerty, David Grisman, Steve Kimock, Bobby Vega, Michael Barclay, Barry Melton,Thomas Ford and Roger Volz with whom to collaborate. Great songs and great players make for a great time. Every instrument on the album is played and recorded acoustically. Banana began his career in bluegrass on the east coast in Boston with 'Banana and the Bunch, Old Time Music with Appeal' playing banjo. He then formed 'Banana and the Bunch, Old Time Music with Appeal' playing bluegrass in the local coffee houses of the early 60’s being mentored by the likes of Bill Kieth and The Charles River Valley Boys. After several years in the east coast folk/bluegrass scene, he co-founded The Youngbloods with Joe Bauer, Jesse Colin Young, and Jerry Corbitt. The band moved from New York City to West Marin in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1967. Along with co-producing The Youngbloods records with Joe Bauer and many others on his own, he produced the first two High Country albums for Butch Waller which were released by Warner Bros. Records in the early 1970's. This introduced California bluegrass to a worldwide audience. He was accompanist to Mimi Farina for over twenty years, played keyboards and sang lead with Zero for over 10 years, played with Norton Buffalo, Steve Kimock and Friends, The Michael Barclay Blues Band, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, and old time psychedelic rock with The Barry 'The Fish' Melton band. He has done duo gigs with David Nelson, Keith Little, David Thom, Paul Knight, and many others. And he plays the beloved bluegrass music with friends and neighbors including The Papermill Creek Rounders, David, Tracy and Sam Grisman, The David Thom Band, Peter Rowan and the legendary Artie Rose and associates. As Grandpa Banana’s Band with David Thom on mandolin and Sam Page on bass, he plays five string tenor guitar and presents a vast repertoire of great songs old and new.
