Re: Taste
Hi. I'm new to this group and may I say what a joy to find so many others sharing my passion with this music. My earliest memory of listening to a song over and over was an old 78 record of "Your Feets Too Big", maybe pre-Fats Waller. Getting ready for an 8 hour drive tomorrow and I gathered these from my stash to take along. 2- Blake and Rice, Big Twang-Ben Winship, Rock in My Shoe-Tim O'Brien, We'll die in the Pig Pen fighting- Tom, Brad, and Alice, Old Time Greats- Riley Puckett, Piece of Time- Jimmy Campbell, Good Old Boys-John Hartford, Appalachian- Baldassari and Schnaufer, Ring the Bell- Gibson Bros, Songs My Dad Loved- Skaggs, Not for Kids Only - Garcia and Grisman, Retrograss - Grisman, Hartford, and Seeger, Forever and a Day - Kruger Bros, couple of Jim Watsons, and my new favorite - Memories of John. kathy On 10/21/10, Tud Jones wrote: > Meds kicked in...feelin better now! > > On Oct 21, 11:16 am, mistertaterbug wrote: >> Tud, >> You didn't explode after that did you?

Re: My own self-imposed silliness
or tricycles or popsicles or dreamsicles I couldn't fit it into a Christmas song without being too melancholy or too silly. So I switched gears completely and wrote one called "Neon Lights of Love."

Re: Song of the Month-December 2010
The procrastination monster can be a big factor but being busy with other life stuff can be too. Guess it depends on how much everyone is looking to develop their repertoires. I personally like to have 3 or 4 tunes I am working on at a time. Perfecting a tune takes me alot longer than getting it into finger muscle memory. It feels like a big accomplishment when I can play it without using the tab. Depending on the tune, that can take several weeks or longer. Let's see, 2 new tunes per month would make 24 new tunes per year. That sounds reasonable. Those who only want one per month can pick the one they want to work on.

Re: Song of the Month-December 2010
Thank you for bring this up. I wondered if I was the only one confused by the difference between the mp3, the youtube, and the tab. I went to a jam this weekend and asked an old time fiddler there if he knew Hatcher's version of Grub Springs. He promptly played the straight version of the tune found on most of the other youtube videos. He has played around Michigan for many years, just never heard the crooked version but thought the one he played was Hatcher's version. I find working on one measure at a time is helping some. Still confused about which fingers to use on the slides, especially in the 7th measure. Interesting spelling for the blogger's first name Daevid.kinda crooked.

Very good points Gathel. I have already learned alot about myself watching my video attempts. Like do I really hold my pick like that?!! Kinda like listening to your own voice.

Re: New Tune/January '11
Lack of posting probably has to do more with holiday travel and time rather than lack of interest. As a newer member of the group, I really appreciate all the conversations and comments and even though my version of the December tune may never make the land-o-tube, it has been fun working on it. It has a permanent place in my stack of everyday run throughs. Does the tune need to stay in any certain genres? How about something like Black and White Rag (George Botsford). It's in D and has three parts.

Re: TaterbugMandoGroup
Hi Brian, All I had to do is step 1 and I was able to open up Mississippi Palisades and Grub Springs pdfs, the mp3 of Mississippi Pal, and a picture of Mr. Monroe. Seems to work for me.

Re: Re: Norman Blake
Hi Nelson, I am one of the tbuggers that recommended the Blake/Rice 2 CD. If you are enjoying Norman's mandolin playing, there is a Homespun tape (and probably a DVD now) with a number tunes played and demonstrated by Norman and his wife Nancy. One of the tunes they dissect is Father's Hall, which is #4 on the 2 CD. At one point, Norman displays, talks about, and plays some of his different mandolins. It's fun hearing his take on the music and watching him play up close. Kathy On 1/20/11, nelsonpeddyco...@knology.net wrote: > That is true.
