The Mercury Dimes: Garfield's Blackberry Blossom



The Mercury Dimes perform their encore at the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival.

Elise Engleberg, fiddle. Michael Follstad, fiddle. Jordan Ruyle, banjo. Sabra Guzman, guitar. Mike Brown, bass. Matt Knoth, guitar. Recorded at 12 Galaxies.

With a tip of the hat to Bill Streeter at Lo Fi St. Louis, who knows how to shoot and edit live music performances with a modicum or two (or fifteen) of style.

Hey good one. I really dug the birds eye view shot. I ussually shoot with a monopod so I can get those kinds of shots. I enjoyed it very much, I dig blue grass.

Love the site - Love the Dimes! Great story behind this tune: Colonel James Garfield whistled it while on the march up Big Sandy River during the Civil War. Ed Morrison's father learned to fiddle it by listening to Garfield on the March. You can find Ed Morrison playing it on a Kentucky Mountian Music Box set.
