Looking back at the blog it strikes me just how much of the hosted audio I've posted over the years is no longer available, and it goes to show that digital can be as fragile as analogue recordings. I thought this bit of audio was lost but I've manged to download the original mp3 of Master Stan Gee playing Gospel Ship which was posted to the now defunct Audio Boo. Stan is playing his original 1909 cello banjo pre-Gibson Goldtone. There's more info about Stan's instruments on his website http://www.picknstrum.com/instruments
Maybe I'll lift a bit of the content form his site and post it here, to preserve a piece of the true cross.

Gospel Ship - Stan Gee
Had a lesson with master Stan Gee today and I asked him if I could record a bit of audio for the blog. So here is Stan on his 1919 Gibson 5 string giving an impromptu performance of Gospel Ship. Nice one Stan!
