Yea, I'm way behind on all this computer stuff. Couldn't sleep last night, got on you-tube to listen to some music with my headphones on so as not to rile the wife. Ran across Tim O'Brien and the Chieftians doing Shady Grove, AWESOME !!!!! I play mostly Bluegrass, but love the Scots/Irish playing, and this was one of the best versions I've ever heard of that old song. Esp. liked the way they kicked it off, and the dancers at the end, man I'd give a $100 to be able to dance like that. Of course I got my mando and learned the kickoff, already knew how to play the song. Interesting that they were tuned higher than 440, is that something they intended or is it something that happened in the course of the computer download and just made it sound higher ? Anyone know ? In any event, no matter, I stayed up until 5;15 am listening to Scots/Irish tunes, and other stuff by Tim O'brien, the man CAN pick, and SING !
