Bluegrass today just released a statement saying Jesse McReynolds is under hospice care and isn’t expected to live much longer.

Agree with 'Jesse' that Martin Gardner's Annotated Alice (and Annotated Snark) are fantastic ways to deepen your understanding of Lewis Carroll's work. Get them from your library system! And Morton...

I don't think Jeff is missing your point. As you seem to know, Betty Boop, Popeye, pre-1950's Warner Brothers, and most cartoons made before television were meant for adults to see before or between...

You are absolutely right!! But the OP´s question was about bluegrass. That is what I responded to.

Here's "White Rabbit" by Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, with Dominick Leslie on mandolin. I'm not crazy over this version, but thought I'd post it because I don't think it's been posted here...

how about a CT line of hair products?

I know a 5-string banjo player who is actually quite good at playing bluegrass (and not so at playing the 5 in other genres). I got to know him going to bluegrass jam sessions. He actually said that...

The best view of what a musicians life is like on tour I have seen is from Leland Sklar's YouTube channel. Leland Sklar, for those not familiar with him, is one of the most prominent studio and...

Their progress was not hindered by learning to read music and tab. Their progress was hindered by not listening and paying attention.

Of course. Likewise most of us know exceptions who play their instruments with terrible technique/ergonomics, falling apart instruments, decrepit rusty strings, or even severe physical challenges...

I don’t have anything smart to add, except that I found reading music to be a surprisingly easy skill to acquire. I learned the basics in middle schools, got a bit of refresher as a teenager learning...
