The one topic that I think would benefit me most is not necessarily just the review of tunes that Monroe wrote or made popular, but an exploration of improvisation in the Monroe or Compton style. I think I saw this mentioned in conjunction with the Compton seminar being hosted by Jim

of the week was salt creek and many people compared the Monroe version to
the more 'conventional' versions. It seems absolutely clear when you compare

Out here in NM, I'm lucky to keep them above 30% in the case with
constant humdifiying. I've switched to little plastic tubs with a
sponge soaking wet in them and a bunch of holes drilled in the top

Interesting topic - I've seen lots of pro and anti Ricky stuff on discussion
