Episode 42: Shohei Tsutsumi (Old Time in Japan/Appalachian Studies)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Shohei Tsutsumi. He recently moved from Osaka, Japan, to Boone, North Carolina for an Appalachian Studies program at Appalachian State. We talk about what led him to do so, as well as the thriving Bluegrass and Old Time scene in Japan. Also, Dave Wood, the academic program director of Shohei’s program, joins us on guitar.  Subscribe to Shohei's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/OldTimerjp  Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool Tunes we’ll play: forgot the first tune's title sorry guys i'm the worst Cotton Eyed Joe Red Bird Grey Eagle Old Joe Clark Bonus Track: Soldier’s Joy
