Re: The Armstrong Twins--Mandolin Boogie/Big Mon
Yeah, my wife tried banjo and it was a flop. She couldn't get past quarter notes with it. We discarded that notion and picked up a bass fiddle which she has really taken to.

I did get a bit of a chuckle recently when she went to learn 'Weary Blues' from a Madeleine Peyroux album, little realising that it was originally a Hank Williams song. Lets just say she tolerates my old time/country/bluegrass interest but she don't endorse it and the horrified look on her face when i played her the original William's version was beyond price... still she is continuing to learn it so i am looking forward to having some nice little jams when we get some common material. In the meantime i'm gonna continue the bluegrass indoctrination by slipping some small speakers in her pillows for when she sleeps, she'll be rattling off Bluegrass Breakdown before the months out i tells ya :D On Jun 14, 1:24 am, Steve Cantrell sec...@bellsouth.net wrote: Also, my wife has recently taken up guitar.

Re: The Armstrong Twins--Mandolin Boogie/Big Mon
Yikes, that there is a lucky escape, i'd have a bass fiddle over a banjo anyday :) On Jun 18, 12:34 pm, taurodont jgardin...@roadrunner.com wrote: Yeah, my wife tried banjo and it was a flop.

Re: The Armstrong Twins--Mandolin Boogie/Big Mon
My wife also picked up the guitar last year and we've been playing together since. Not every day, but now and again. It's really been a lot of fun, and I love when we're making music together. She also has one of my favourite singing voices, so that does not make it worse. Happy picking! /Jonas 2010/6/14 Steve Cantrell sec...@bellsouth.net Goofing around this afternoon and ran across this one--really great stuff. Floyd and Lloyd Armstrong, doing some standard brother duet stuff. Being twins, I guess it's uber brother duet stuff. Fun to listen to and pay along with and thought I would submit it for the list's consideration. Psstif you were looking around really hard you could find it here. I have no idea whose this is, but there you have it should you be so inclined... http://www.mediafire.com/?z2omydzz5x2 Also, my wife has recently taken up guitar.
