I feel like I have to throw in a mention of Coppelius - a german metal band featuring not one but two clarinets.

Love the ending. How do you pick a banjo that fast?

Definitely The Two Man Gentleman Band

Wow...they're actually good, which is surprising considering the celtic punk genre is mostly bands rehashing Pogues songs. The three songs on their myspace page weren't even about drinking, fighting...

I have one of the soaresy baritone uke/tenors. He built a new beefier neck to handle the extra string tension. It has a bit wider fretboard than normal as well. The only thing left from the...

For a starter fiddle just win the contest on the front page.

1920's jazz songs about math and buggery. What's not to like?

I'm downloading it now. If nothing else, I love your band's name.

No problem, but if you're into folk punk music, you should check them out.

His name isn't "dreadnought". He's the mandolinist for the Dreanoughts

I'm in!

I may be interested in giving this a go but I don't have the Parking Lot Pickers book. Could I substitute tunes from the Old Time Jam website or other tunebooks, provided they come with a CD?

Buddy Holly! He should be much higher on this list. He created the template that everyone else followed. Glad to see Guns N Roses there, but a little worried about The Black Keys now. Somehow I...

I wouldn't call any of those three bands "American" so I don't expect to see them on the list at all. They would certainly make the top 10 in any global list though.

I'm assuming the Black Keys are in the top 20 since they aren't on the list yet.

"And always remember friends, there's no room in vulgarity for bluegrass." - Steve Earle

I went to see Steve Earle at the Egg in Albany a year or two ago and was a little perturbed that his son was opening for him. Seemed like nepotism to me. Then he performed and the next day I bought...

I was expecting a story when I clicked on this link.

Attractive woman: "Excuse me...is that a mandolin you're holding?"
You: "Why, yes it is. Would you care to join me for dinner?"

Has she claimed that song is a bluegrass song? Is modern country not allowed to use "bluegrass" instruments?

I just bought a short scale tenor guitar (19.75") and, while it's tuned CGDA now, I'd like to tune it GDAE.

Current gauges are listed as .009, .015, .024, .036

If I move the strings over and...

I'm not certain its exactly what you're looking for, but are you familiar with the Peatbog Faeries? Scottish folk/electronica/reggae/rock/etc.
