Bluegrass

[n2ize]

One of these days I hope to roam the country in search of meeting with bluegrass flddlers. I am trying to learn some Bluegrass fiddle. There are many different variations and techniques and I would stand to learn a great deal by traveling and meeting with fiddlers who play Bluegrass.

I got turned on to this band a few days ago. They were on NPR, Garrison Keilor's show... :agree:

Hey, Denver is the home of what has to be one of the best bluegrass bands ever—Hot Rize. Those guys are awesome:

Well then, you must visit, or check out some youtube video of, The Gospel Chicken House (http://www.virginiawind.com/virginia_travel/gospel_chicken_house.asp) run by the Pollard family right down the road in Montpelier, VA.
Virginia is full of some great roots music, and it's a great contrast my exposure in the Missippi Delta.
I kinda started to love that stuff.

When I was a kid, I hung at this guy's house several times. His daughter was killed in a car accident while i lived in Lawrence. Then I moved to Austin, TX over by George Strait, and his daughter was killed in an auto accident. I moved over to Chicago where there aren't any country music types.

Nice stuff. Interesting bowing style. She hold the bow quite a ways up from the frog. Quite different than the way I was taught. However, i was taught to play classical as opposed to fol/county/bluegrass.

Yea, me too. I played violin when I was a kid.

I started when I was about 8 or 9, progressed to a certain point but never went much further. Then I played occasionally during my teens and early 20's and then gave up altogether for a very long time. Only recently, within the past year did I start again. Just recently bought a new fiddle as an incentive to keep learning.

I heard Tony Rice play live a number of times when he was with the David Grisman Quintet. Really hot picker, he was.

I gots to admit a certain fondness for some twang.

He is still a good picker, but something happened to his voice and he can't sing anymore.

Wow. I :heart: Ry Cooder. Seen him live... amazing.

I'm sucha bastid... always irreverant to the topic.

[NQ6U]

Wow. I :heart: Ry Cooder.

Yeah, me too. He's played with just about everybody you can think of (even the Rolling Stones) but his work with the Buena Vista Social Club alone is enough to make him immortal in my opinion.
