New File on Google Docs

2011-01-28 Thread Brian Ray
I believe a message should have gone out alerting the group to a new
file I just posted to the TaterBugMusic folder on google docs. Sorry
for the duplication but I just want to make sure Google Docs is
operating as expected and folks can get to the files in reasonable
fashion. Let me know if this is NOT the case... otherwise I'll take
your silence as a thumbs up. Once we get used to this, these
notifications will be unnecassary and folks can just say I put it up
on the Google Docs group folder or equivalent, and thereby celebrate
in gratuitous bliss.

Here's the link to the file in any case:

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8KrIvg_Omq9MzI4ZGI4MjAtNDJlZS00YTM0LWJjMTgtN2NlZjU3YmQ4NmEwhl=en

Re: TaterbugMandoGroup

2011-01-14 Thread Brian Ray
Hey Group,

Another test of the TaterbugMandoGroup google doc folder. Robin may have found 
the work around for the bug keeping this from working for us. Could I get a 
couple folks try testing this...

I made Mike the owner and now it shows up under my Folder shared with me 
section AND, since I added myself to folder, it shows up in My folder section 
too. This makes sense as I'm added as the group (taterbug group) AND as an 
individual. 

So if two people could...
1. Goto https://docs.google.com/
2. Check if you see the folder TaterbugMandoGroup in either My Folders or 
Folder shared with me
3. Upload a small file and select TaterbugMandoGroup as the destination
4. See if it was added to the folder as expected
a. If NOT, right/ctrl-click the folder, edit the Share settings and add 
yourself to the list
b. Repeat #3
5. Observe bliss?

Let me know if/how any of these steps fail...

 I did the below and at Step #2, the TaterbugMandoGroup folder didn't show

 I tried to upload a file (Step #3) and I was unable to select the
 TaterbugMandoGroup folder (it wasn't listed as an option).
 I did step 4a, adding myself as a user with Edit privileges.  I then had
 the folder show up under my Folders Shared With me (Step #2).  I was able to
 complete Steps #3 and #5.

 The file I uploaded is the Mando Sheet Music pdf.

 Thanks for your work on setting this up.

Re: TaterbugMandoGroup

2011-01-14 Thread Brian Ray
Crazy! This should then allow us to use this Google Doc folder to share
files amongst the group (hopefully). Therefore, to join in the fun, it would
seem you need to:

1. Go to Google Docs https://docs.google.com (or if that doesn't work go
to the folder 
directlyhttps://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8KrIvg_Omq9YjUwNjQ5YjAtYTIyNC00NjM3LTliMjItYjhlNjU0ZTk3MjU0hl=en
)
2. Download/view whatever you want

and if you want to upload something (only need to do this once):
3. Edit the folder's Share settings and add yourself to the list of
editors.
4. Click Upload and select the TaterbugMandoGroup folder as the destination
5. Begrudgingly endure bliss...

This should become unnecissary once google fixes the bug with group
sharing... but this'll work for now.

Here's the full link in case the links above don't work:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8KrIvg_Omq9YjUwNjQ5YjAtYTIyNC00NjM3LTliMjItYjhlNjU0ZTk3MjU0hl=en

Okay, thanks for the testing. I believe I've gotten to the bottom of
this. There's currently a bug in Google Docs that does not display
folders shared with a group... they have apparently acknowledged this
and are working on it. This might be a viable solution to the group
file sharing issue shortly.

Ha! Nice find Robin. Looks like members of the group can self-add (share) 
themselves to the folder. Interesting. Now the question is: does doing this 
count against my data quota or do we each chip in? Interesting...

This may or not be the solution we're looking for but it cain't hurt to give'r 
a go... unless it does, in fact, turn out to hurt a bit.

Re: New Tune/January '11

2011-01-01 Thread Brian Ray
Mississippi Palisades is a state park in Illinois. Chirps, like myself, is a 
former FIB (in mixed company: Fine Illinois Brethren) that now calls Wisconsin 
home... currently, the whole state of Wisconsin is painted red due to Badgers 
playing in the Rose Bowl today (GO BUCKY!). Sorry, I digress... 

Located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Apple rivers in 
northwestern Illinois, the 2,500-acre Mississippi Palisades State Park is rich 
in American Indian history.

Chirps' Mississippi Palisades and Grub Springs

2010-12-31 Thread Brian Ray
Chirps came over yesterday and cut a number of tunes. Unfortunately, my camera 
was misbehaving so there some glitches in some of the tunes (stupid camera). So 
my new years present to myself is a new camera (will be here Monday) that is 
tapeless

Anyway, as promised, I've posted two versions of Chirps playing Mississippi 
Palisades; one a bit slower than the other:
Normal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWLgXUnUxOc
Slower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBsdtMR1r3o

He also threw down his version of Grub Springs (another last-minute Dec entry!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNFzp5Snm0U

There are other gems in there too which I'll post as time permits...

Schmappy Moo Fare! (that's Happy New Year in drunk).

Not sure what the rules are for choosing SOTM... but if'n y'all want a great 
tune to learn, I'll suggest Mississippi Palisades by Chirps Smith. I'm very 
likely the only one in the group that knows it and that should definitely 
change 'cause it's a great one. I have Chirps doing it (banjo/fiddle) and it's 
also on the new Rhys Jones record (fiddle/piano/banjo). I could make the audio 
available should folks decide they'd like to do it. It'd have to be an exercise 
in ear training 'cause no tab exists...

Kenny Baker Tribute Shows

2009-11-08 Thread Brian Ray

Well, I survived the two shows I had this weekend with the band that  
has since become known as the Kenny Baker Tribute Band. For the  
folks that don't know, this ensemble was concocted by various Sconnie  
(that's Wisconsin) boys (and one Iowan) to play the entire Kenny  
Baker Plays Bill Monroe record at a few shows. The band includes two  
Bluegrass Boys, including Bob Black (the banjo player on the original  
record) and Mark Hembree (Wisconsin's lone Bluegrass Boy). It was the  
brainchild of fiddler Paul Keinitz and also includes myself on mando  
and guitar player John Fabke.

Well, I'm posting this kind of in answer to a few of the recent topics  
on the group. As I've been sweating and working on learning the album,  
I can attest that my practice time for the last few weeks has been  
listening to, and playing along with, this record and not much else. I  
can also say, that after only two shows, I'm totally exhausted but had  
as much fun as should be legal. Playing with these boys was a pleasure  
and an honor.

(To steal Hembree's favorite saying) Anyway, here are a few tunes  
for last night's show at the Richland Center City Auditorium in  
Richland Center, WI. A couple hundred nice folks showed up to see us  
and were one of the nicer audiences I've had the pleasure to play for.

What Google Knows About Mike

2009-10-29 Thread Brian Ray

Thanks to Scott Tichenor from the Mando Cafe for pointing this out...
When searching for images of Mike on google, at least one image stands
out above the rest...

Mike at Ravinia

2009-08-28 Thread Brian Ray
Ravinia had always been one of my favorite places to see a show but
since I've not been a FIB for some time, I hadn't been out there since
I was a kid. I was happy to make my return to see Mike play with Elvis
Costello. It's still one of the finer places to see a show and we saw
a great one. Them boys can pick, though y'all knew that already.
Highly recommended. Mr. Costello even dedicated a song to me! (yes I'm
a dork... but it was cool).

Anyway, here's a shot from after the show... the rest came out too dark.

Secrets, Profane Sugarcane

2009-05-29 Thread Brian Ray

I'm a huge Elvis Costello fan. He's in my top 3 non-grass musicians of
all time. When Mike told me he was going to record with him, though I
don't typically buy into such crap, I asked him to get his autograph
for me. He did and it's on my fridge (thanks Mike!).

I wouldn't think the mando community would find this new record overly
noteworthy as it doesn't feature the mando specifically. Myself, I'm
finding it completely sensational. It's an absolute clinic on ensemble
play. Less, without question, can be more and perhaps if I say it out
loud more often, it will make it's way to my brain and fingers.

Anyway, you can hear the entire record on EC's site:
http://www.elviscostello.com .

Great job Miguel! I would also like to request in advance y'all do
Indoor Fireworks at the Ravinia show...
