Re: Old Hat String Band
That's the stuff I like, simply music well-played and with feeling.

I can't make out the head stock inlay on Steve's mandolin. Anyone know the maker?

Re: Old Hat String Band
I think that is Joe Walsh’s old Lloyd LaPlant
Re: Old Hat String Band
Sure looks like that LaPlant.

Re: Old Hat String Band
This is not to take anything away from the string band. They are excellent.

Re: Old Hat String Band
Yes, I believe so. John Burke was in the band. IIRC there were two John Burkes, one banjoist and the other a fiddler.
Yup, my early fiddling days: Two albums 1972 and 1977.

Actually I have found multiple bands using "old hat" one in Texas and one in the UK. The one in the OP is in Maine.
