post a video of yourself

[Murphy Slaw]

Good song too BTW Ben - it reminds me of that old joke about country and western songs.

Thanks. I KNOW you're setting me up, but I gotta ask?

[sgarrity]

Nice pickin' on Southern Flavor.

[Pete Jenner]

Thanks. I KNOW you're setting me up, but I gotta ask?

What do you get when you play a country and western song backwards?

[Pete Jenner]

You get your house wife back, you get your dog back, you get your farm back, you get your horse back, you get your girlfriend back, you get your truck back, you get your youth back, you get.... (fill in the blanks).

Well you get it.

[Murphy Slaw]

Yep, got it....

Hey, I'm NOT a lefty, the video is reversed. (because of the Youcam in my computer I guess)

Does that have a hidden meaning?

I'm gonna go with it!

[gummia]

Nice pickin' on Southern Flavor.

Thanks.
And yes we have been studying the 'dance' around the microphone.

[gummia]

How come Bluegrass groups can only ever afford one microphone? I guess it's a really really good microphone eh?
I love that homespun Icelandic Bluegrass - if only Björk could play fiddle.

Actually we own two of those microphones, Audio Techninca AT4033

And I really think we are the only Icelandic band playing real bluegrass.
We even announced on national radio if anyone else was playing bluegrass in Iceland that we would like to meet them.
It really seems that no one else here in Iceland is playing bluegrass.
So we are spreading the good word in Iceland, so to speak.

Oh what the hey, while I'm at it, there is another video. The late Earl Scruggs's Flint Hill Special.

Cool.

Great picking, Gummia! Glad to know bluegrass is alive and well in Iceland! The ATs are fantastic condensers, my band Long Road Home uses two AT 4040's. Here's me trying to pick and sing into one of them at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival last year, doing one of Jack Tottle's (my teacher and mentor) songs, Leavin'. My vocal debut on the cafe, please take it easy on me

[gummia]

Great job Jordan. Love this, and good job singing.
A few seconds into the video I was thinking, 'wait is this Pete Wernick on the banjo'... and it is, isn't it?

Do you ever run into problems using these condensers in bigger venues, considering feedback / volume etc?

[mjpetrie]

Here's a video..guess it's rather folky, so it would probably be considered folk jazz. The occasion was an open mic. We had worked up this song in honor of a local photographer who spends countless hours taking photos and videos of local musicians making them available without charge. The photo in the video was one to which their was the association of "Fly me to the Moon". As it would happen Juan videoed it.

Thank you, Gummia! That's Pete, we're lucky ducks to be able to play with him on a regular basis. We do run into issues with those microphones, but usually in loud bar situations when we're running sound, rarely on festival stages when they have good sound guys. For the loud bars, the key is no monitors and someone who knows how to "ring out" the room (i.e. find the frequencies that are feeding back and pulling them out in the EQ).

Nice playing Mark, enjoyed

That was great!

[gauze]

my 1st video on turn of the century equipment. Be dazzled by my Rogue.

[journeybear]

My duo suddenly evolved into a swing band with the addition of bass, a couple who play ukuleles and percussion, and a guitarist who likes playing gypsy jazz style. Read all about it here but meanwhile, enjoy!

[Marc Woodward]

Looks like a lot of fun! And you really get cooking at 2.45 ish in... Good stuff!

Looks like you're off on a fun journey, bear!

[Randolph]

Thanks JB. Brought a song to my heart and a smile to my lips...what fun!

[journeybear]

Thanks, guys! You're no slouch yourself, Marc. My favorite part is right at the end, when I look right into the camera and hit that final sixth chord. Really looks like I know what I'm doing!

[Randi Gormley]

Not me, rather one of my coworkers, Ned Rauch. I wasn't sure what his wife, Liz, was playing -- at first i thought it might be a mandolin, but it appears to be a tenor guitar? Anyway, I thought I'd post this because I know Liz plays fiddle and mandolin.

She is playing an ukulele.

[jambalaya]

here's a couple new original songs we did at the community radio station.

[Jordan Ramsey]

Here is Jesse McReynolds' classic arrangement of the "Dill Pickle Rag" with an updated version of the C part.
