So I play fiddle in a gospel bluegrass band. It's hard to sing with a fiddle, though, so when I sing lead, I play mandolin ... or a 1929 National Resophonic Triolian tenor, for a couple of songs that put the blue in bluegrass.
Last night at rehearsal, though, our full-time mando player, John, shows up with a new toy:
a 1932 National Triolian tenor!
Now I can definitely claim to be one of John's musical influences. We may be the first bluegrass band in history with dueling resophonic tenors.
This allows us to have both tenor and fiddle on a song if we want, which sounds very cool...
