Mike Seeger is wrapping up a residency at UCLA this weekend with the famous Ashgrove Festival. This week he gave talks on the journey of the guitar through America, as well as history on other instruments found in old timey America. Including the Jew's harp, which he is holding above, the banjo, and more obscure instruments such as the banjo ukulele and the quills (a southern pan pipe). Some highlights were Seeger and his wife playing a Carter Family song and the Elizabeth Cotton song, "Freight Train."
