Hey yall, Excuse me for cutting in, * Oh, dear Willie, you can "tap in" any time you please. <smiles> ... love hearin' from ya'. You're an 'old soul' in a young body and that's refreshing.
In respect and admiration of Johny Cash, I have to say he is a pearl of recent American History.... <snip> He has to be one of the most original. <snip> style * Ain't that the truth?! He definately broke ingenuitive ground. ... 'gotta admire that wholeheartedly, just like I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. Attaboy. I grew up with my Dad 'clogging' and hip-swinging at the same time to Cash's LP's. <grins> He had the "snarl smile" before any other hip swinger. BOY was it fun to listen to him & dance with my Dad. I also loved the way he always teared up singing Gospel songs. It touched him therefore it touched us. And don't let me get started on *how* he and June would look and gaze at each other.... sigh... true love and romance will always melt a candle without a lite. .... I'm a girl... the romantic mushy side is going to take over if I don't move on. <grin> Ron Block, Sam Bush, all the kids from Nickel Creek, and thats just to name a very few of them. * Aren't those kids from Nickel Creek somthing else?! I love 'em to death and they're from the L.A. basin. That girl and her brother put their heart & soul into their playing and songwriting. Sarah and Sean Watkins, is it? And ... there's no words to describe Ron Block and Dan Tyminski's beautiful talent & style, gosh! Ron's voice sends me in to shivers, Tyminski's dobro makes me want to cry and Sarah from Nickel Creek sounds like a Heavenly Angel even softer than Allison. Of course Alison had her golden touch on it all. I admit that I'd rather hear Ron Block sing than anyone in Union Station, that way Allison can concentrate on making that fiddle sing. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!! Willie Bruce Carter * and God Bless you and the to-be-Mrs, too. You're a well rooted, smart youngen. And you're also right about the unsynchronized yet well incorporated unique talents in "parking lot" (front porch & festival) tap-offs in Bluegrass. My Dad always called it "hobo stew" and it always tended to be our favorite. Get a group of unpracticed musicians together and let each one bring in each individual talent and voila'. Blend 'em all together and even Emeril would be impressed with a well defined concoction that will either make your toe tap or your tearducts wet.
