  1. Re: Chris Thile & Billy Strings Saturday Morning Sessions

    We should just accept that these guys play what they want in the moment regardless of location. I've seen Chris live countless times, last time in little Beattyville, KY last fall in front of...
  2. Re: Chris Thile & Billy Strings Saturday Morning Sessions

    Great chemistry, I love Billy's vocals with Chris on high harmony (as Flatrock mentioned above), these cats are on the same wavelength and I NEED them to put out an album.
  3. Re: Norman Blake-Original Underground Music from the Mysterious S

    Mike I would be interested in these transcriptions as well, fantastic album.
  4. Poll: Re: What mandolin is the Dawg playing for Lloyd Loar's Birthday?

    Is that supposed to mean that every reply on the internet has to be some pedantic smart ass remark? Don’t be a jerk Hendrik.

    Let me rephrase my original post: I don’t know which mandolin Dawg is...

    Sounds like Dawg to me!

    Re: BRW History

    I had one of those 3 point ovals…excellent in every way, VERY loud. My main ax is a BRW two point that I got brand new several years ago and is also an excellent mandolin. High quality build, top...

    Re: Punch Brothers "Hell on Church Street"

    Just seeing this. I’ll look for the quote but I remember it clearly because it is a strong statement and Kind of Blue is an all time classic regardless of genre.

    I saw Punch last night at the...

    Re: Chris Thile solo

    I’ve seen Chris many times: as a solo act, with Mike Marshall (I was at the front row at the Ky Woodsongs YouTube show), as a part of Nickel Creek and with Punch Brothers (in a church basement in...

    Re: Punch Brothers "Hell on Church Street"

    Interesting thoughts grassroots. Using your examples: from the moment I heard Take Five or Giant Steps or any Thelonius I loved it. Complete opposite with Schöburg…didn’t like it then and don’t like...

    Re: Punch Brothers "Hell on Church Street"

    Right there. I think you put your finger on it. I like Radiohead but having these songs filtered through them removes something for me rather than adding.

    Re: Punch Brothers "Hell on Church Street"

    I’m inspired by their talent & hard work on their craft and respect the need to create the sounds they want to hear…but…other than Cattle in the Cane, Jerusalem Ridge & Pride of Man not much drawing...

    Re: Monel strings

    Long time user of D’Addario PB’s. Last week I put their monel set on my BRW two point and so far it seems to prefer the monels. Darker tone for sure, a bit…well it’s hard to describe: throatier? More...

  15. Re: New Bela Fleck Album out - My Bluegrass Heart

    For sure Dan. I can easily see this being like musical Vegemite: you like it or you don’t, not a lot of in between. It is, to me, a bit like listening to “A Love Supreme” or Gould’s interpretation of...

    Re: Apollo Mike Marshall picks

    Yes. Mike has been using ProPlecs with all of his instruments…at least on all of his Artistworks classes.
  17. Re: New Bela Fleck Album out - My Bluegrass Heart

    I was curious who the “Unknown” mandolinist was on those tracks (I don’t have the cd), he plays some tasty stuff.

    This album has me thinking of the first Quintet album: barriers knocked down and...

    Re: Memorizing a song

    Sheet music for me. It gives me the framework for the note intervals without restrictions on fretting choices like tab does. I’ve never been able to remember tunes with tab.
  19. Re: New Bela Fleck Album out - My Bluegrass Heart

    This is an astounding album.
  20. Re: BRW Mandolins / Ben Wilcox Magazine Article

    Don’t think Ben is still building on a regular basis. I have a BRW 2 point…wonderful fit & finish and excellent tone.

    Sam Bush band

    Got to see the Sam Bush band for the first time this past weekend in Georgetown, KY. Man Sammy puts on a show, tons of energy (for a guy that's, I think 69 years old, he brings the heat), he put an...

    I’ve used a tone guard for years. It’s comfortable standing or sitting, don’t even know it’s there anymore.

    Re: Your Wegen Pick

    The TF140 is my favorite pick, fits very naturally in my hand. The concave middle area with the holes lies perfectly between my thumb pad and index finger. Also prefer the tone over BC. I wish Wegen...
