I was surfing around the YouTube a short while ago, getting my morning fix of old time music, when I stumbled across: 2 Guys Named Ben: Episode 12 Chicken Train. This immediately caught my attention because the Chicken Train CD is among my fave old time recordings, featuring John Herrmann, John Engle and Meredith MacIntosh.

Last June at Midwest Banjo Camp, I participated in a couple of John Herrmann’s banjo workshops and they were exceptionally helpful to me.

Check out this excellent video, in which the folks in Chicken Train talk about the role of the banjo and the fiddle as well as how they wound up living in Asheville NC.
