Agree Wolf... and of all the Romance languages, French seems to translate easiest into music. Alas, I only ever studied Latin, (use the term study loosely) so I couldn't understand a word of it. Ordinarily, you'd simply assume since you're performing it for a wedding ceremony, it must be pretty sentimental, but the sheer inflection makes it clear in that sound.  
 
It wasn't as difficult as I thought either... there is no bass on the recording I was given to study, so I was able to chart it with a clean slate.  
 
FWIW, The Civil Wars was a short-lived thing... the duo split last year even with some critical acclaim ongoing. I wish there had been more of that kind of thing happening in Nashville back in my time there.

And that cut of Shady Grove is AWESOME! Just forwarded to my list.  
 
New River Bound (my neo-oldtyme ensemble) has a totally different major key rendition that plays more like a breakdown/jam tune. We like to finish the set with it!

Greg, I am glad that you like it!  
 
The guitarist is  STEVE   BAUGHMAN .
 
Here is his website;   http://www.celticguitar.com/
 
I think this guy is really good !

Watching and listening to Bill Frisell live from Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Jazz at Lincoln Center webcasts are always excellent quality. The two shows tomorrow night will also be webcast, show times below are EST. Some good stuff so far including a great version of Muddy Water's I Can't Be Satisfied.
 
In the grand series finale of two years and six dynamic performances of the Roots of Americana series, Guitarist Bill Frisell, along with saxophonist Greg Osby, pianist Craig Taborn, and drummer Rudy Royston, embarks on a musical journey along the revered route, which Bob Dylan famously immortalized in 1965. Join us for a profoundly historic sojourn realized by Frisell through his unique embodiment of the the American landscape.

Stephen , I just missed it . Story of my life . I am sure it was great !

I had one of those unexpected surprises yesterday when I got  a call to be shoehorned  in for free ;  to get to be there . Lady GAGA did an epic performance of Billy Strayhorns LUSH LIFE !  She just reinvented it and really pulled it off .I wish I had a video of that !   But I do have this from last night
