Very cool, speaking of Allen Woody last week at work I went through both volumes of the Deep End and the Deepest End Live.  The list of bassist that showed up for those recordings are a testament to Woody.. That is something I love about him, his influences in the low end were vast and wide and you feel how he embodied all of those influences into his own style.

One for my buddy, and brother-in-music, Tony Collins... who left this world two years ago this morning. Life and music go on, but it just ain't been the same here without him.

A fun watch of Justin Johnson playing some interesting home made guitars. I think the one made out of a shovel at the begining is my favorite. Good mix of music to.

Justin Johnson has inspired me to start putting strings on strange objects! 

Seriously though, he plays those very nicely. Don't think I could pick a favorite although the one string diddly bow sure has a nice sound.

Beth Orton - Central Reservation; here is one song from it:


The title song was the first song that I listened to after a difficult passing of a family member.  Even though that song has nothing to do with the event it is forever captured in my heart as being connected. 

And interestingly enough this whole album (as it should) captures a moment of this performers career and there is a thread that links all of the songs together - so for me this whole album is bittersweet, sad and forever dear.

Enjoy

Isn't it interesting how that works? I was thinking the exact same thing the other day.

Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five.  So interesting, I looked up the chart and followed along.  The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.

Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.

Dave, this one had been giving me fits because of that odd meter change in mid-phrase during the 'B' part... been listening to it for weeks trying to decide what to do with it other than just pedal a 1 through that part, but I *finally got it* last night at band practice. I think we're going to perform "Five Miles from Town" in competition at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax next month. (can't believe it's thst time again already... where did this year go?!)

*Tatiana Hargreaves' take on it was helpful, but since there isn't any bass part, I really just had to work this one out for myself.



**and to answer your earlier question regarding how that affects clog dancers- good ones LOVE it... they pick up on that rhythmic pattern just like a drummer would, and accentuate it.

John Zorn - The Mysteries. Beautiful and mystical. Bill Frisell on guitar, Kenny Wolleson on vibes and Carol Emmanuel on harp.

The Hargreaves take is also quite interesting, and enjoyable.

Do you record your rehearsals?  Would love to hear your band doing this tune.

I have listened to Zorn's The Gift and absolutely drool over the arrangements, a very enjoyable disc.  Will have to check out The Mysteries.
