No, not really bad etiquette, jams are just that, a time to play and have fun. The sooner you get over being intimidated by others and just kick back and enjoy what they are able to do, the sooner...
Good to hear you'll be up for pre-fest, we'll be 'round grove as usual, lookin' forward to seein' you & that Fern again. We can always be coerced into playin' something other than gypsy swing,...
Hey Sean, ya goin' to Strawberry this fall? Sorry we didn't get much of a chance to pick at pre-fest. Next time don't stand in the back, just stroll on in & have a seat, everyone's welcome in the...
So anybody goin' to this one? We'll have a big camp set up for swing jams in the RV area next to the creek and across from the bath-house. Drop by and join us for some tunes.
Great start! I'd like to see the pics & such come up when you go to the page, it took me awhile to figure out I had to click the link to see the pics & descriptions. But then I'm not the brightest...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery & all, but am I the only one gettin' a giggle outa picturing you playing with the middle finger of yer frettin' hand pointin' skyward?

Nice shots Ted, Verns was right behind the booth I was helping with and I couldn't believe the caliber of players showing up there. What an incredible introduction to this festival, I may just become...
Hey Zeke, haven't seen you in, like, forever! You really did luck out on missin' the 'Berry, a muddy mess it was but fun was had by all that toughed it out. Just recently heard of all the band...
I'd like to see a kit with sort of a slab body that can be cut to most any particular shape. Everybody may not want a mini-Tele, or a mini-LP, give 'em the choice of coming up with their own body...
I've tried many of the forementioned strings, until I tried FireWire strings and never looked back. They cost a bit more but, for me at least, they last forever and smooth out to a nice mellow tone...
Hey Ted, good to hear from you again. Were you at spring Strawberry? I camp across the road from the Cowlicks' camp and remember pokin' my head in on a drizzly Sun. night jam with Pam & friends but...
Yeah, a buddy told me yesterday that there's music in every camp, makes Strawberry look like nobody plays, I can't wait! I'm sure to be roaming around, in between gigs at the booth, and will...
I tend to look for voicings with predominant notes that follow either the melody or harmony, depending on where the tonality of the tune is going at the time. Does that make any sense? It's more of...
I'll be helping a pal with her booth, selling batik flags & banners, at the festival June 12-15. Who all is goin'? This will be a virgin fest for me, but I her there's some good swing jams after...
Huh, I found it in the "Newgrass" zip file years ago, they may have changed things. Still got a copy here too if ya need one.
Just had the pleasure over the weekend to See Tim O'Brien and noticed his right hand rarely stays in the same place throughout a tune, moving it toward and away from the bridge for tonal effect. The...
I believe it's in the TABs at the Mandozine site, but not sure if it's Mandozine anymore. Anyway, that site with all the different TAB files, sheesh, not much help am I?
I'd been using the same pick awhile back and recently ordered a new one, they're not the same as before. You're right about them being very sharp and thin-edged now. Used to be they were thicker,...
Yep, a favorite among folks I jam with, also known as Mahna De Carnival.
RAS?
Theory just helped my brain understand what my ears & fingers already knew.
"We use the CAGE questionairre as a screening tool for alcoholism:

1. "singing" the melody all along in their heads,
2. using the chord structure as a memory-jogger to know their position in the song and original melody,
3. just experienced enough to...
I've done the dark glasses thing for awhile, used to be the hat thing, don't know what it is but it kinda puts me in my own little world. Like puttin' on yer "game face".
It's true that folks have...
