    Re: Gospel Sheet Music or Chord Charts

    My experience is that there about 1000 gospel songs and hymns that are 3 chord (or 2 chord) songs, so they are very easy to pick up if you’ll pay attention. Learn the Nashville Numbers and you...

    Re: "What's That Sound?" Del McCoury jam

    This is one I haven’t seen, and I’m betting I will spend the next days and weeks trying to learn it. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting. What key do you reckon this in? D minor or perhaps we...

    Re: "What's That Sound?" Del McCoury jam

    I believe that all of these artists have the same agent, hence they are all playing together on these recordings. I attended a show about a year ago in Bristol, TN in which all of these artists ...

    Re: First song to learn on mandolin

    I am mainly working on playing fiddle these days, but I was thinking about this from that perspective recently, and I would recommend someone learn songs that will easily translate to picking up...
  5. Re: Octave Mandolin question: Teardrop versus mando-guitar?

    [QUOTE=Tmcmakin;1784491]To be a bit more exact, I already own a teardrop shaped OM. It's the Gold Tone 800+ and I like it a lot. It's very resonant and plays well after a setup. However, I have an...

    Re: Lester 'Road Hog' Moran

    I listened to that album many times back in the day. Shear brilliance. Lester used to say, “Now its that time when me and the boys take our hats off, and gather round the mike and sing one for the...

    Re: Sierra Hull tour

    I also saw her about three weeks ago with the group mentioned above and the show was wonderful. I have seen her many times and she continues to get better. My wife was blown away with how much she...

    Re: Trip to Nashville

    My wife and I were in Nashville a short while ago and stayed at the 21C Hotel and Museum on 2d Avenue. Walking distance to the Ryman, but you probably can’t walk to Carters or Gruhns. I like 21C a...
  9. Re: Thoughts on starter fiddles/transitioning to fiddle

    I’ve been playing for about 10 years now. I tried to learn without lessons, which was a mistake, so I’ve gotten a bit straightened out, and play publicly on occasion. I believe it is the hardest...

    Re: Why "The"?

    In the East Tennessee town where I now work, there has been a long standing tradition of calling almost everything “the” something or other. We have a lot of industry and most of the plants were...

    Re: Eastman Violins for Fiddles?

    I suggest you try Gianna Violins. I believe you can find them via their website. Not so sure about the location these days. Steve Perry owns the company and is a member here. I called him up and he...

    Re: Mandolin to fiddle

    I too, tried the mandolin to fiddle changeover. As is my custom I barged ahead thinking I could teach myself. I tried this for 7 or 8 years, off and on. The end result is I learned a surprising...

    Re: Get Your 4 Year Degree in Bluegrass

    Good news everyone! A friend's daughter tells me that in Tennessee you can qualify for in-state tuition (about half the cost of out-of-state) if the public colleges in your home state do not offer a...

    Re: Get Your 4 Year Degree in Bluegrass

    It is certainly my understanding that Sierra went to Berklee to pursue a career in music (I think that's all they do there). She had a scholarship. Seems to have worked out nicely. I do not know why...

    Bertram,

    I have a problem averting my eyes but for a different reason. You say there's a bass player in that video? I heard them play this a couple of years ago in Asheville, NC, and loved it. I...

    Pretty clearly the IBMA thinks Sierra is sufficiently "bluegrass." She co-hosted the show and also had a song, Weighted Mind," nominated. I guess we can argue about whether it has to have been in...
