Seldom Scene, 3-01-73

Here is a real classic, The Seldom Scene from 1973. They had only started as a group in 1971 (formed out of jam sessions in Ben Eldridge's basement. With the ground rules of playing only one night a week at local clubs (Thus the name Seldom Scene), doing occasional concerts and festivals on weekends, making records, and keeping their day jobs. Duffey repaired musical instruments, Eldridge was a mathematician, Starling a physician, Auldridge a graphic artist, and Gray a cartographer with National Geographic. The band's first home scene was the Red Fox Inn in Bethesda, Maryland, where they spent six years before starting weekly performances at The Birchmere Music Hall in Alexandria, Virginia. For this show they were the opening act for Doc and Merle Watson and I will post that show next.

Seldom Scene 8-07-94

Here is another great one from the Seldom Scene. I really like this one because of the gospel numbers including the Swing Low, Sweet Chariot > Will The Circle Be Unbroken ending. But thats just me. Anyway it is super fine bluegrass and good quality sound. Hope you like it. John Duffey rest in peace.

This is missing a song called "And On Bass" and some stage banter and crowd noise.
So it appears to have been edited to fit on one CD.

The Seldom Scene, 7-18-87

One of my favorite bluegrass bands The Seldom Scene came from the Washington, D.C. area. They were formed in 1971 by John Duffey (mandolin), John Starling (guitar and lead vocals), Ben Eldridge (banjo), Mike Auldridge (Dobro), Tom Gray (bass). The name "Seldom Scene" was originally chosen because the group decided to stay at home and play once a week at a local club near their homes and day jobs. Mandolinist Duffy had previously worked with the Country Gentlemen.
