This is one I haven’t seen, and I’m betting I will spend the next days and weeks trying to learn it. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting. What key do you reckon this in? D minor or perhaps we...
I believe that all of these artists have the same agent, hence they are all playing together on these recordings. I attended a show about a year ago in Bristol, TN in which all of these artists ...
I am mainly working on playing fiddle these days, but I was thinking about this from that perspective recently, and I would recommend someone learn songs that will easily translate to picking up...
[QUOTE=Tmcmakin;1784491]To be a bit more exact, I already own a teardrop shaped OM. It's the Gold Tone 800+ and I like it a lot. It's very resonant and plays well after a setup. However, I have an...
I listened to that album many times back in the day. Shear brilliance. Lester used to say, “Now its that time when me and the boys take our hats off, and gather round the mike and sing one for the...
I also saw her about three weeks ago with the group mentioned above and the show was wonderful. I have seen her many times and she continues to get better. My wife was blown away with how much she...
My wife and I were in Nashville a short while ago and stayed at the 21C Hotel and Museum on 2d Avenue. Walking distance to the Ryman, but you probably can’t walk to Carters or Gruhns. I like 21C a...
I’ve been playing for about 10 years now. I tried to learn without lessons, which was a mistake, so I’ve gotten a bit straightened out, and play publicly on occasion. I believe it is the hardest...
In the East Tennessee town where I now work, there has been a long standing tradition of calling almost everything “the” something or other. We have a lot of industry and most of the plants were...
Oops. Better read the whole thing before chiming in.
I suggest you try Gianna Violins. I believe you can find them via their website. Not so sure about the location these days. Steve Perry owns the company and is a member here. I called him up and he...
I too, tried the mandolin to fiddle changeover. As is my custom I barged ahead thinking I could teach myself. I tried this for 7 or 8 years, off and on. The end result is I learned a surprising...
Good news everyone! A friend's daughter tells me that in Tennessee you can qualify for in-state tuition (about half the cost of out-of-state) if the public colleges in your home state do not offer a...
I believe you are correct, Sarah did not go to Berklee. Wrong school, same point. :disbelief:
It is certainly my understanding that Sierra went to Berklee to pursue a career in music (I think that's all they do there). She had a scholarship. Seems to have worked out nicely. I do not know why...
Please allow me to offer a positive perspective on this program. As someone who Iives in the area where East Tennessee State University is located I’m surprised to see so much negativity about this...
Last Dance is one of the great rock songs of all time. Several years ago, I officially adopted the line, "I don't know but I've been told, if you never slow down you never grow old," as my motto. ...
Bertram,
I have a problem averting my eyes but for a different reason. You say there's a bass player in that video? I heard them play this a couple of years ago in Asheville, NC, and loved it. I...
I suggest you contact Stephen Perry at Gianna Violins. He is a member of Mandolin Cafe. He is very knowledgeable, makes quality violins and sells other instruments as well. Tell him what you want...
I've been to Nashville about 100 times over the years and if I was going this weekend (which I am by the way on an expenses paid trip to the Opryland) but, if I had to pay I would stay at the Wilson...
Pretty clearly the IBMA thinks Sierra is sufficiently "bluegrass." She co-hosted the show and also had a song, Weighted Mind," nominated. I guess we can argue about whether it has to have been in...
Say it ain't so....
Okay, I'm going to give you some down and dirty. I was in N/v about a month ago and some plans fell through and I had an afternoon to kill. So here is what I did. You almost have to have a car to see...
Maybe someone else suggested this, and I'm certainly not the one to be telling any builder what to do, but... Wouldn't a nice center stripe be just the ticket? They are very common, particularly on...
