GoodTimeTonight is a blog about Fiddles and Banjos and Guitars and Folk and Roots music and Country and the Blues and Americana and Chicago and the midwest and America.
I haven’t looked at Roger McGuinn’s folk den page in a while but he’s been chugging along recording occasional folk songs and putting them up. This is a page I like. I noticed a recent entry is a recording of a song called “Frozen Logger” which apparently has Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music founder Frank Hamilton playing banjo. Check it out:
This event should be good. If you’re in Chicago go out to the Old Town School this Sunday. Mark and the Pickin’ Bubs have been featured on the blog here and all the performers are really excellent.
Please join us Sunday, January 10 @4 pm at the Old Town School of Folk Music, 4544 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago. Jim Craig, Eddie Holstein, Mark Dvorak & the Pickin’ Bubs celebrate the new year in song, story & collaboration. A one-of-a-kind show, tickets are going fast.

or phone: 773 728 6000. A grand reception follows the show @The Grafton Pub.

Hey, so I need to get back into this. There were some great albums and music happenings in the later part of 2009 so I’ll probably work through reviewing some things and hopefully get some more podcasts up. For now here’s a video of Dave Ralwings playing a Jessie Fuller song ‘The Monkey and the Engineer’. This is also on his excellent album ‘Friend of a Friend’ that came out in 2009.
