Episode 46: Ethan Hawkins (If You're Not Having Fun, You're Not Doing it Right)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool, Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s friend is one of my favorite flat-pickers, songwriters, and old time musicians, Ethan Hawkins. I met him at Mt. Airy a couple years ago, and immediately got a big ol’ crush on him. He’s a very good guitarist, with a dreamy voice, and he’s a very animated performer, so I’m really glad I got him on video. Oh, did I not mention that? Check out Get Up in the Cool's Facebook page and you'll find some videos from this episode.  Tunes we'll play:  Josie-O New Harbor How’s Your Family Been? (what’s the official title?) Winderslide Greasy Coat Road to Malvern Bonus Track: Grigsby’s Hornpipe http://www.iamgailanne.com/ http://www.jubals-kin.com/Support Get Up in the Cool
