@@jayekaye6641 Hi Jaye! This made me laugh. I did six episodes of "What's New." There were about 10 songs on each show. I had to perform each half hour without editing, which means I had to memorize the script and the blocking and do the whole episode without mistakes. If I made a mistake 25 minutes into the taping, I had to start over. (That only happened once.) The director, Joan Sheppard, was adamant - she refused to do any editing. (This was Brooklyn College's TV department, and she was a teacher. Everything technical was done by her students.) I had fun doing these shows, but there was a huge amount of pressure on me. By the time I did Cripple Creek, I had no idea whether I would "nail it" or not. This was the only song I knew how to play on the banjo. My teacher was banjo virtuoso, Doug Dillard. I only learned the song to audition for The Andy Griffith Show, (which I didn't get.) Brooklyn College submitted this series to PBS and they used it on the "What's New" series for children. The whole experience taught me so much about how "the show must go on." Sorry to go on and on about this, but this is all bringing back memories!

Never had a crush on a 1960's banjo player before, but now I do. ❤

This is true, common man's, American music. Shame so many people think the banjo is only for "hicks". Common Americans, rural and urban, need to recognize that we're all just regular people and none of us are "better" than the others. I'm a "city slicker" like any other but this is the music of my brothers and sisters!

And thats the reason why old Movies can be blown up to 4k or 8k as they were filmes in 35mm on the Studio Camera's.

Tracy Ann Newman (born 1942) is an American television producer, writer and musician. Newman is a founding member of the improvisational theater troupe The Groundlings (as is her sister, Laraine Newman). She was co-creator and executive producer of the sitcom According to Jim (2001-2009). She is also a singer - songwriter, as well as an original member of The New Christy Minstrels[1] and lead singer of Tracy Newman and The Reinforcements. She is the mother of artist/writer Charlotte Dean, with whom she co-directs the live comedy show Charlotte's Shorts.[2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Newman

She’s definitely pleasant and talented, but I’m just astounded that a public television show from 1965 has such amazing sound quality.

I spent my youth playing in wind symphonies and orchestras, and while there's a great sense of accomplishment that comes from playing virtuosic music of that sort, there's also great joy in more informal styles like Blue Grass. It's tailor made to fly and damn near anyone can ride if they have a little free time. Richness is a product of diversity and Blue Grass is an essential part of a well rounded musician's repertoire.

She is everything graceful and fun! Talented but not in an awkward, perfectionist way; able to laugh at a little mistake and move on without breaking the feeling of dancing that she's cast over her audience!

I see your point - but the times and technology of the day are quite different by comparison. "The Ed Sullivan Show" was "Must See TV" for the entire family to watch together, and helped to bridge the "Generation Gap" (somewhat) which was developing at the time in the U.S.. "The Beatles" were already becoming a "smash" in England, and upon coming to "The States" were hyped to maximum effect. Their appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" was today's equivalent of "Going Viral" on KZread. However, Ed Sullivan (as far as I know) was only broadcast in the United States on one "media network" (CBS) while (for better or worse), KZread has a global audience over many media "platforms." When comparing "Broadcast TV" and "Internet Media" what I miss most, (and perhaps the most definitive difference between the two) is the shared experience occurring "in the moment" - when "the whole world stops" to witness an "event" in a communal way - sparking wide ranging discussions between large segments of populations, and the potential for societal transformation. Today's media is very "fractional" and "factional" and tends toward consumption by individual viewers, smaller audiences or niche markets - (witness the popular HBO or Netflix series which generate huge audiences and a lot of "buzz," but are esoteric enough that a "majority" will not see them at all. PBS ( U.S.) continues to be extremely relevant in our "Mediasphere," and should be supported wholeheartedly for all its contributions. @@devlieg72

​@@davidb6576 You're completely entitled to your opinion, but if you can't see how meaningful this clip is, I might suggest you watch it again. It amuses me that the phrase 'meaningless fun' exists, as if the two things were mutually incompatible. Personally, often when I encounter somebody doing 'meaningful' things, attending to 'serious' matters, devoting themselves selflessly to others, that is the point that they are most self involved, most clamouring for attention, and doing their least well, whatever their intentions may be. It is with the lightest of touches, and with the mildest of hearts, that people shine brightest and help the most. I don't want to bore you to tears, but I feel I must quote at length Herman Hesse, from The Journey to the East: "'...what do you do now you no longer have your violin?' 'Oh, this and that. I do not really do much. I am no longer young and I am also often ill. But why do you keep talking about this violin? It is not really so important.' 'The violin? It made me think of King David.' 'King David? What has he to do with it?' 'He was also a musician. When he was quite young he used to play to King Saul and sometimes dispelled his bad moods with music. Later he became a king himself, a great king full of cares, having all sorts of moods and vexations. He wore a crown and conducted wars and all that kind of thing, and he also did many really wicked things and became very famous. But when I think of his life, the most beautiful part of it all is about the young David with his harp playing music to poor Saul, and it seems a pity to me that he later became a king. He was a much happier and better person when he was a musician.' 'Of course he was!' I exclaimed passionately. 'Of course, he was younger then, more handsome and happier. But one does not always remain young; your David would in time have grown older and uglier and would have been full of cares even if he had remained a musician. So he became the great David, performed his deeds and composed his psalms. Life is not just a game!' Leo then rose and bowed. 'It is growing dark,' he said, 'and it will rain soon. I do not know a great deal more about the deeds that David performed, and whether they were really great. To be quite frank, I do not know very much more about his psalms either, but I should not like to say anything against them. But no account of David can prove to me that life is not just a game. That is just what life is when it is beautiful and happy - a game! Naturally, one can also do all kinds of other things with it, make a duty of it, or a battleground, or a prison, but that does not make it any prettier. Good-bye, pleased to have met you!'"

the little laugh near the end.its a very personal thing between musician and instrument as is evident in this clip.because its a connection for those brief moments when instrument and player become one and will never be played the same way twice .the instrument alone and the individual alone cant create this magic without each other its a love affair.it proves music is a gift .it cant be bought it cant be given back or taken away.so just bask in the beauty and appreciate.

Me too...I watch it right before bed it’s calming

I absolutely loved the television program "What's New". My mom would call us in from outside to watch - because it was educational.

That is a wonderful rendition of a beautiful song -- and I can think of many singers who couldn't have gotten away with that first verse on TV in 1965.

My banjo teacher taught me this as my first song. 91 Mcmurdo station Antarctica. Her name was Kaitlin, and she was from Montana and her boyfriend hated her teaching me, and his name was Harold

Antarctica? That's pretty cool. What job did you have at the station?

She looks familiar?! Oh wow that's Laraine Newman's sister!! Tracy Ann Newman (born 1942) is an American television producer, writer, and musician. Newman is a founding member of the improvisational theater troupe The Groundlings. She was co-creator and executive producer of the sitcom According to Jim (2001-2009). She is also a singer-songwriter, as well as an original member of The New Christy Minstrels.

Nice! Cripple Creek is one of the first songs I learned to play on my guitar, 60 years ago. My Mom taught me the lyrics.

Yeah just the kind of sweet gal you wanna get to know. I love her, 50 years too late

I remember her. She sang “The Battle of New Orleans” on this show, too. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old.

She's lovely.

Amazed at the quality of the audio from a video recording that old!

thank you tracy newman

Cripple Creek Colorado I bet before there were casinos etc. I remember going there and a few stores and a restaurant open. Such a nice place back then.
