The Pressley Girls Complete Morning Song Concert 2020

A while back, The Pressley Girls (AKA Corie and Katie, AKA Chatter and Chitter) were asked to do a virtual Morning Song Concert for the John C. Campbell Folk School. The girls have performed for morning song quite a few times over the years. The Folk School uses the concerts as a way to help their students and staff start the day, just before breakfast. Of course, due to Covid, there are no students on campus currently. The Folk School continues to provide some services/classes online, and likewise, they've continued the concerts, only streamed or videoed. In keeping with the traditional, in-person concerts, the performing artists are not to stop and "cut" or edit during the performance. What I've uploaded here is our first attempt at shooting the unbroken or unedited set of songs. We shot two completely different takes on two separate Saturdays. The girls wound up liking the second take better, and it's the version that was uploaded the JCCFS website. Although I made a ton of mistakes on the bass in the first song of this video, I preferred this take the best overall, and they gave me permission to upload it here for your listening. In the video, the girls dedicate the show to our good friend, Mr. David Kaynor, who is suffering from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). David is the greatest fiddler I've ever played with in person when it comes to composing and performing original fiddle melodies, and he's one of the nicest people I've met as well. As I upload this video, I've just learned that Tony Rice passed yesterday, so I'll also dedicate this video in his memory. The girls and I love his music, and they've learned a lot from him, including the Norman Blake song they do in this video (Ginseng Sullivan). If you have the time and inclination, after you watch here, you can visit the JCCFS Channel here:    • The Pressley Girls - November 20, 2020   and watch the other version of the show, then come back here and comment about which version you like the best. Do you agree with me or with them? Thanks for watching and for reading all of this! :-)
