Musician, writer and educator Cameron Knowler joins us this week to talk about his incredible  self-published book, Guitars Have Feelings Too, and so much more. We learn about Cameron's singular upbringing in Arizona (including how he was "unschooled" for most of his youth) and hear about how a random encounter with Norman Blake's music as a teenager forever changed his life. We also get his thoughts on the difference between old time and bluegrass music, the perils of flatpicking contests, how to horse trade instruments with your heroes, and so much more. Knowler is the FJ's newest contributor and in our 52nd issue, he pens a lengthy interview with Phoebe Bridgers' guitarist Harrison Whitford. We're happy to announce that Knowler will also be teaching the music of Norman Blake at the 2023 Fretboard Summit alongside Bob Minner.

In this episode, we cover the fifth album in your box, Doc Watson's self-titled debut album. Doc was somewhere in between Joan Baez and Skip James, in terms of his age and novelty in the folk revival. Losing his eyesight at age 2, and spending his days and nights absorbing generations of Appalachian folk tunes, Doc was “discovered” in his late 30s by Ralph Rinzler, who recognized Doc's unique talents, and realized he'd do well on the coffeehouse and folk circuit.  Through a rare quirk in the bands he was in, in order to be heard properly in the outdoor venues he often played, he transposed the main instrument of Appalachian folk — the fiddle — to an acoustic guitar, developing a flat picking style, where he both plucked and picked at his guitar strings, playing dexterous, complicated riffs that rang through the clamor of a get down.  In this episode, we talk with Elijah Wald, who, in addition to being a blues and folk writer and historian, admires Watson as a guitar player, as Wald has played in traditional blues and folk bands inspired by him. Here we talk about Watson's unlikely rise to folk fame, why his guitar playing stood out and the mechanics of flat picking.

In Episode 23, The Live from Banjo Podcast hit the road and headed to Lafayette, GA.  With heavy rains just coming to an end and the crowd in full party mode, ready for a series of incredibly acts to take the stage, Jon Stickley and I sat down for a live recording at Forward Festival in May of 2021.Jon is the guitarist and frontman for Jon Stickley Trio.  Jon and I discuss his life as a punk rock drummer, his introduction to bluegrass and the mandolin by his best friend, Leftover Salmon banjo player Andy Thorn.We discuss the many bands, instruments, and inspirational musicians that help cultivate Jon's unique songwriting and playing.  We walk through Jon's childhood, marriage, and newly acquired fatherhood. We also take a look at the serendipitous series of events, including a pandemic, that allowed Jon, a nearly non-stop touring musician, to take a year and a half off to be with his wife. Jon remained home for Julianne's entire pregnancy, and Jon was also home to welcome his son Callum into the world.  It has now been seven months since his son was born, and Jon is finally hitting the road.He discusses his plans to navigate getting back on the road, with the extreme changes to his life over the past year.  In this week's wrap-up, Crystal and I discuss legendary guitarists Doc Watson and Tony Rice. We look at the history of legendary indie-punk record labels Lookout Records and Fat Wreck Chords. Crystal discusses her distaste for Green Day's “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), and I give a little background on Durham's own. Merge Records.  Crystal and I also look forward to our retirement plan as honorary park rangers, utilizing my bear-fighting cyborg appendages. Walter, per usual, likes to make himself known to the listeners.  I hope you enjoy this week's chat with Mr. Jon Stickley.

This week we've got something a little different for you. This is the second in a series of 'mini jams', which I'm putting together to feel a bit more like playing at a real jam. That means we're playing 3 tunes back to back instead of focussing on just one.This week's tunes are:Blackberry Blossom in G (starts at 1:07)Cherokee Shuffle in A (starts at 8:36)Billy in the Lowground in C (starts at 16:43)We're taking it steady at 75bpm and each tune follows our regular 'jam along' format. That means I play backup and you play lead, then we swap, then we repeat the whole thing another 3 times. The whole jam lasts around 25 minutes.If you want chord charts for these tunes,  head to bluegrassjamalong.com, where you'll also find details of how to get in touch. I'd love to hear any feedback on these mini jams so do let me know what you think.Thanks,Matt
