3. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [background noise]
4. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [is it too loud?]
5. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [is it on now?] banjo playing music
6. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   banjo music louder
7. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [STUDS] as far as an FMT audience is concerned
8. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   I think it's almost needless to tell you
9. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   who's banjo that is you're listening to
10. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    it's the banjo of the number one
11. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    five-string banjo picker in the country -
12. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE] Oh, go on!
13. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [STUDS] - as far as we're concerned
14. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    the voice you recognize I imagine immediately
15. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    that's Pete Seeger
16. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    sitting up with us here
17. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE] You've got to quit being a disc
18. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    jockey for a change...I am not a number one banjo picker
19. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    in the first place, in any kind of art you can't say
20. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    the number one...you can't say, how can you say so-and-so is the best pianist
21. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    in the world? He might be best to somebody, he might be worst
22. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    to somebody else {STUDS] Pete, I think it's this commercial life I'm leading [PETE] ...and as far as banjo
23. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    picking goes, there's a fellow down in West Virginnia who can just play
24. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    rings around me named Earl Scruggs. He's the king of the banjo pickers
25. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    as far as I'm concerned. [STUDS] It's about three years ago, Pete you mentioned the name of Earl Scruggs
26. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    you remember the record, uh, the tune that he played [PETE] Foggy mountain
27. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Breakdown [SUDS] How'd that go? [PETE] He plays a very syncopated kinda style
28. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [fast banjo picking music]
29. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [STUDS] About how many songs would you say, this is just for statistical purposes, about how many songs [PETE] oh!
30. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [STUDS] ...would you say you know? [PETE] I don't know, well, when I was in the Army, a fellow and I once sat down
31. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and we wrote down all the songs that I knew . It was about
32. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    three or four hundred, but some of those I didn't know all the way through, and they included a lot
33. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    of popular songs and hymns and so on
34. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Army songs, and I've learned maybe a couple hundred since then, but I forgot
35. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    forgotten a couple of hundred too, so I don't know. [STUDS] Well those you do know and those
36. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    you remember are enough to fill a number of books and albums, and on that subject
37. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Pete, for the FMT audience, those who may be aware of it
38. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    uh, not the last time Pete was with us, but the time before that,Pete and Big Bill were guests of the Almanac
39. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and Folkways got pretty excited about that session and that's gonna come out as an album shortly. You know anything about that Pete?
40. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE]Yeah, the drndest things come out on records these days, you buy this record and all you'll hear is Studs and
41. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    me and Big Bill talkin, and talkin and we play a tune [STUDS] -laughs-
42. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and we interrupt the tune to talk some more
43. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    play a contrasting type of tune
44. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [STUDS]Well what sort of
45. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    tune will you say hits you now, by the way Pete, it was about two weeks ago Dick Bennet was here in this very studio [PETE] Hey! [STUDS] we did the - we used the same technique
46. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    a stetfoot, sitting together, and uh,
47. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    remember we asked Dick and he asked to be remembered to you, of course
48. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    pretty fondly, Dick, play whatever comes to your mind while you're sitting here and it worked out pretty well
49. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE] Well, let me think (tuning banjo strings)
50. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE]I was down in southern Louisiana last onth
51. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    in a part of the country where manynpeople still speak French the descendents
52. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    of the 4000 French-Canadians
53. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    who were shipped down there two hundred years agoby the English [STUDS] The Acadiens?
54. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE] Maybe you remember, Longfellow's [STUDS]"Evangeline" [PETE That's right
55. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    well I was in the town where she's buried, of course, her real name was Emmaline
56. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    uh, and Longfellow, I think he changed her name when he wrote the story
57. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    about her, but (banjo) I was swapping
58. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    songs down there, and doggone if I didn't find they knew a lot of the same songs I knew
59. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    but with different words! For example, they had one that
60. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    went something like this. You know, they speaka funny variety of french, this is not Parisienne
61. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    French (sings, in Cajun French)
62. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [PETE] You see it's a girl, she says "Where have you been?
63. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    my good husband, where have you been my good old man, you're the best drinker
64. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    in the country [STUDS] laughs [PETE] and he answers, I'm gonna
65. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    go out to get drunk" It goes on for about ten verses. Well you know
66. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    I recognized that melody, and when I heard the words it reminded me I heard
