December 21, 2016 REBROADCAST: Brad Kolodner (New Takes on Old Tunes)
Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. I’m currently on vacation in Oregon, doing Christmas with my family and recording Portland area old time players for the show, which, by the way, thank you, faithful listeners, for connecting me with some really big names in the scene out here; I hope to come back to Philly with some awesome interviews and music to share with you all. Anyway, I’m taking a little break from posting new episodes. Not because I’m behind schedule: I’ve actually been keeping up with my goal to record 4 interviews a month since the summer. I was worried that there would be a dry spell outside of festival season, but so far, that has not been the case. Turns out Old Time players are always down to play tunes and talk about Old Time. Who would have guessed? So, this is a rerun of my episode with Brad Kolodner. I wanted to post it again for a couple reasons. First: Ken and Brad have a new CD out called The Swift House, which you should buy. More details on how to buy that after the interview. Second: The newer episodes of Get Up in the Cool sound better because I’m better at mixing now. I wanted to give Brad’s episode the same treatment. Stick around after the interview to find out how to support Get Up in the Cool and hear when Brad’s playing near you and how to buy his music. A quick clarification to my patreon supporters: you won’t be charged this episode or any other rerun, and I won’t typically release rewards for these episodes for the same reason. Once again, don’t worry, I’ll start airing new episodes again sometime in January. I hope you all like banjo duets. Here’s my jam and interview with Brad Kolodner. Enjoy!

December 14, 2016 Episode 24: Gordon Arnold (Old Time Cello)
Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This is the last episode of 2016! As awful as this year has been, what with the fascists and the celebrity deaths, I’ve had such a great time recording this show; I think it became a real coping mechanism for me, honestly. I hope it’s been helpful for you, too. This week I’m sharing my jam and chat with Old Time cellist, Gordon Arnold. Gordon is super adventurous, which you know I love, but he’s also very rooted in the tradition.

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Rachel Eddy!

November 23, 2016 Alan Kaufman (The Tunesmith)
Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s and next week’s friend is Alan Kaufman! Also joining us is Don Stratton on guitar, who will be featured in his own episode in the near future. Alan is a tunesmith and a songsmith; while most of us make withdrawals from the traditional music bank, Alan makes regular deposits. This week’s episode is dedicated to his original fiddle tunes and next week we’ll play and sing his original songs. Alan possesses that rare combination of whimsy and thoughtfulness necessary to make the perfect neo-traditional tune. If you play Old Time, maybe try to learn a few from this episode. I especially recommend learning “Five Bales of Hay.” Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool Like and follow Get Up in the Cool on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getupinthecool Like and follow Alan Kaufman's kid's jam: https://www.facebook.com/BBUkidsjam Buy Alan and Don's CD, All in Good Time: http://peapatchmusic.com/

November 16, 2016 Episode 20: Stephen Landis (Fiddle Hermit)
Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. How are you doing? It’s been a rough week. I know I’ve been feeling anxious, pent up. Some of you have been binge listening NPR and Facebooking yourselves to sleep; just leaning into to the discomfort. Others of you, like me, have been checking out. Deleting social media apps on your phone, engaging in lots of escapism; maybe overeating a bit. This week’s guest, Stephen Landis, is a close friend of mine, and I often look to him when I’m contemplating how to be; which is why I’m releasing his interview now, even though I only recorded it a week or so ago. Also, Stephen introduced me to Old Time, and I’m very grateful to him. Not just for teaching me my first tunes, but for sharing his reverence for the tradition.
