which begs the question, WHY. It's not like the CD's were horrible or
something. Just a different sound. Are they afraid the current audience
will find out they know how to play bluegrass and traditional country?

oh yah. mine too. Does your appreciation of it have anything to do with working

Speaking of which, I remember a trick that an old guitar teacher
showed me way back, where you could play (I hope I'm remembering
this right) album at 17, or whatever that low setting was on old
record players, and get the solo in key, but half as fast and an
octave lower.

No, young man. The correct speed was 16 rpm.
Has anybody ever seen an actual 16rpm record? I heard that the Highway

these,

I pretty much agree with Don in this regard - and my "theory" was just a way

I had intended to play a three or four song set of Decca tunes from the

And it's a bit of info that Chuck's often considered an albatross. Hopefully
this new album will redefine how folks think of him. It is quite a

My listener interaction tells me that the freshness of the current sound is
the appeal of the Chicks, particularly the banjo and fiddle playing, so
maybe they would appreciate the older material. Personally, I haven't heard
