Yes

and yes

As Monty Python says, 'And now for something completely different . . . . . . '

I subbed on 'The Grand Ole Opry' a few times in the early 90's.  Back then, all the old-timers were still alive and kicking.  Monroe, Mr. Acuff, Hank Snow, you could go down there and see them all and get a great education in earlier Country Musics.  They're all gone now, but I treasure those days to hear those masters still plying their trade.  Bill Monroe asked me to 'hold this while I fix my tie' and handed me his F5 Mandolin:  I almost started shaking !


And so many not as famous.  Jumpin' Bill Carlisle and the Carlisles were there many times, and I always got a laugh out of this silly little tune, and the crowd just loved it.   Note that he's capo'd the Gibson, and then rubber-banded a price tag over the strings to get that washboard sound, was it better capo'd ? ? ?




In those days, and I mean this in the best way possible, the Opry with all of those legends was like going to your Grandparents' house.  Like a lot of things, we won't see their like again. 

i enjoyed that,  Joey.  thanks!   

More than a mouthful by Cookin' on 3 Burners

The Cookin' On 3 Burners was nice.

And we now have youtube embeds. 

youtube embeds is a nice addition/update. 

Really enjoyed the Carlisles. That was fun!

So much talk about Row Jimmy, had to go listen to one...

Re; Row Jimmy, I hadn't realized how complicated it was. Had only listened casually until I read the thread. The rhythmic patterns remind me of something else, but I can't quite name it.

Oops, wrong link above, but nice Here Comes Sunshine.   

Here's the Row Jimmy...

Been playing the blues, along with Christine Perfect/McVie this morning.


(John McVie on bass here...)

My favorite local college radio station is like this thread... always hearing something new.

Yes, they are.   Something about the mannerisms and posture of the one on the left reminds me a lot of our guitar player.

This one is on my list for 2019... I learned it years ago as "If E'er I Return Pretty Peggy-O", and I'm guessing Jerry did too.





After listening to a handful of takes of "Peggy-O" I really like the pocket they had here.

The son & one of the grandkids are still asleep, so I'll listen to that one latter, Greg - but I will say I have loved the version from 8/8/82 since it happened.
