Sally Ann Johnson with Clark Kessinger adding a mandolin! Video

This is just for fun! It is me trying to keep up with one of the greatest old time fiddlers ever -- Mr. Clark Kessinger of St. Albans WV!
If you are fans of Clark (I am I have his original LP records from the 1970's) don't be offended!
Like I said this is just for fun -- no way can I play as fast as Kessinger even on this easy tune --Sally Ann Johnson (most folks these days call the tune just Sally Johnson).
The arrangement was not the best as I could barely hear the fiddler and I actually missed his ending refrain.
Anyway I'll probably redo this but I just want to see how it would work. As you can see he was fast -- very fast!!

5041carol: Don't see many videos like this. CUTE.

Mandolin1944: Thnaks for watching -- Yeah it was fun but kind of goofy too. I am going to try it again with a better set up I need more volume on the video because I was having trouble hearing it and was losing my place. I can play Sally Ann Johnson against the computer at about 240 bpm -- but Kessinger is moving faster than that!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I messed up the B-part totally at least twice.

doccalley: That is insane fast -- you were doing OK for a while then things kind of broke down anyway pretty crazy. I'll give you 5 stars for even trying that!!!!!

Mandolin1944: Yes its crazy! I will probably pull this video down one of these days!

sizefam4: That's pretty good Bernie! I can't do it! =D

Mandolin1944: Yes Gary -- Clark Kessinger is on some other planet on that tune -- did you listen to him on the original video without my "noise" interfering? Its butal and beautiful -- then he starts dancing half way through -- and who is doing his backup those two guys are not shabby either!!! He is just a super old time fiddler. I have his 1970's era LP's and I recall listening to them and it never crossed my mind how fast he was playing!! But try to play along.....
