Blue Sky Boys
I am sitting at work listening to the 5 CD box set of the Blue Sky Boys that I picked up at the Blue Grass Museum during Monroe Camp. Their vocal harmonies are really pretty nice. If you have anything by them, listen to Didn't They Crucify My Lord from (1936-1937) and think about Cryin' Holy To The Lord by Bill Monroe. I have noticed that Bill's version of CHTTL was different from most that I have heard. Nelson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: Blue Sky Boys
Their harmonies are my favorite part about them. I just discovered on this website they have an out of print Blue Sky Boys album for free download. . As well as many other out of print bluegrass albums. You have to click the stars below the track list for the download link. http://marines12.blogspot.com/2010/12/blue-sky-boys-bluegrass-mountain-music.html http://marines12.blogspot.com/2010/12/blue-sky-boys-bluegrass-mountain-music.htmlIf you search for a blog called Times ain't like they used to be you'll find a ton of great old time albums. Not much for the mandolin although there is some. -Justin On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 11:13 AM, Nelson nelsonpeddyco...@knology.netwrote: I am sitting at work listening to the 5 CD box set of the Blue Sky Boys that I picked up at the Blue Grass Museum during Monroe Camp.

right hand angle
I have not done a video of myself in a long while but doing the Grub Springs video last week made me rethink about my right hand technique. Over the past year and a half to two years my thoughts have been on my grip/staying loose in my playing and have indeed thought about coming in at a more parallel attack rather than an angle. The more parallel attack feels like a new golf swing, for those of you who have chased that white ball around. I have gone through far too many golf swings and all with their benefits but have always gone back to the comfort of my right hand angle for ease of playing/ease of not thinking of it. I feel I am at a point of wanting real richness in my notes, all big and full of flavor and feel my attack may have some room for getting closer to that goal. Here is my Grub video if any of ya'll have some thoughts I will prepare for attack and accept the criticism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TEAo3Myj8I Chef -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: right hand angle
Chef- The tone you are getting on the Grub sounds good to me. Does it sound good to you. I think that is what matters. If you produce a tone that pleases you then you have succeeded. The problem is that the quest for better tone seems to be an endless journey. It might become boring otherwise? When I am playing and am loose and everything is clicking I notice the whole system is loose. That doesn't mean a lot of movement, but relaxed. From the fist, to the wrist , to the arm and in the shoulder. The whole body is making the music, not just an appendage. When tension enters the equation the music begins to I continue to try to play with a relaxed closed fist but it is a hard habit to get into, my fingers like to be out. I personally find it very easy to become tense when my hand is closed. Remember, you're already getting good tone and that is something a lot of pickers struggle with.
