    Re: Cape Breton mandolin (1976)

    I live in the Ottawa Valley, which straddles the border between Ontario & Quebec. The Ottawa River area was a rich source of lumber, and it brought together the French, Irish, Scots and English. It...

    Re: Pandemic Reading

    Time to give this thread a bump. Has anyone read Victor Wooten's new book "The Spirit of Music"? I've just ordered my copy. The line “Music brings people together, not only to feel, but to agree on...
  4. Re: Playing Mandolin with the Church Praise Team

    Many of the old hymns have descants written for the sopranos to take flight on. There are also many descants written for trumpet. Most are in the public domain. Lots to have fun with.

    Re: Pandemic Reading

    Victor Wooten's The Music Lesson. While Wooten's novel is about a bass player, it is really about his philosophy of music and life.
  6. Re: Invention in C Major BWV 772 Nugget F5 and Northfield Octave

    Nine months ago I might not have noticed the difference. My laptop speakers don't do the first recording justice. With decent headphones the difference is remarkable. Even recognizing the difference,...
  7. Re: Invention in C Major BWV 772 Nugget F5 and Northfield Octave

    I've been learning a lot about video streaming and audio mixing this year. I'm amazed at the tools we have to work with. When it comes to audio, there seems to be no end to the price of the...
  8. Re: Thile/Aoife - Fairytale of New York from Wassail

    To take out that verse totally changes the meaning of the song. That's as bad as the Frank Sinatra rewrite of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".

    Re: CMSA Convention in the Clouds

    I'm surprised they are charging $150 for non members to attend. I would have thought they might try to make this online event more accessible to draw new people in. the IBMAs took this approach and...

  13. Re: Fantastic David Grisman Quintet one mic recording

    Great camera work as well. Given how much he was moving, I'm amazed it didn't pick up his movement on the microphone.

    Re: Advise on a Webcam

    I've been doing webcasts for my church with good results over the past few months. We use a Logitech C920 Pro HD webcam. It will easily handle 2 people 6 feet apart. The built in microphone is okay...

    Re: Cantigas de Santa Maria - Cantiga 119

    I've always enjoyed playing the Cantigas on the mandolin. Such a delight to hear.

    Re: Vulfpeck - Thile appearance

    This world has gotten too uptight. This world needs more groovy music so we can all lighten up, get in touch with our joy and maybe even learn how to dance with abandon like hippies.

    I thought it was interesting how they included some of the outliers. They gave a lot of time to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Circle album, even though it never was embraced by country radio, even to...

    Re: Satan is Real movie

    Sex, drugs, the coming of rock and roll, sibling rivalry, and some smoking hot music. What more could a movie ask for? I'm sure many country music stars will be begging to do a cameo in this film.
