In the early seventies, Hampshire College was a hot bed of old-time music activism - most of which could be attributed to the cultural factors that underpin this joke from the period: A visiting professor notices a Hampshire student entering class in mid-lecture. Not only is the student late, he's wearing only one shoe. Her curiosity piqued, the professor stops the presentation to ask, "Did you lose a shoe?" The student answers, "Nope. I found one. Would you like to buy some dope?" Another driving force was the Highwoods String Band. This seminal old-time band played on or near the Hampshire campus several times each year. They were a huge influence on those of us learning to play music. This tune, Money Musk, comes from the playing of the Highwoods' great banjo player, Mac Benford. It's included on their wonderful compilation disc, Feed Your Babies Onions. Nick Kroes, banjo (aEAC#E), bass, and guitar. |
