Well there is the obscure fiddle number known as the 'Orange Blossom Special'
.
I have noticed it a lot. Some will be playing in time and then skip time for some reason. They come in at the wrong time or just skip ahead to the next chord too soon. I think it may be related to...
I have never heard it in "The Cross Eyed Child" (but there were different versions)but it is in Richard D. Smith's book. He doesn't play it though he hums or vocalizes the melody to Hartford in the...
From an interview with Skaggs....
The last few times that I saw him when he was in a nursing home and couldn’t even talk back to me, I’d say to him, “Mr. Monroe, it’s okay. This music is going to...

Some good stuff here from band members and others...

I have two uncles (brothers) who look straight at their right hands while playing. It looks like they are looking at the sound holes of their guitars. They have no reason why. Just seems natural to...
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
Yeah, I am aware you provided wood to John. What I do not understand is why you object to a short concise tutorial on top wood by John in which none of the tops are declared better than any other?...

Bill Monroe was not from Appalachia. He is from the western part of the state and it is not in the Appalachian region.
Cedric Rainwater (Watts) and Chubby Wise were from Florida.
Bluegrass was...
