I like Caleb's music and I think it would definitely fit. But I don't think you'd need to go back much further, style-wise. And like Mr. Tater said, I doubt Monroe had any "real" Scottish influence. Have you heard Scottish fiddling? I have friends that practice strict Scottish fiddling and others that encompass the entire Celtic genre. I can sit through about one strathspey before I get bored! LOL It's definitely an acquired taste. On a similar note, I really enjoyed David Long's class about old time tunes at the camp I attended.
I've only attended the second Monroe Camp and really enjoyed it. My only complaint about that year was that the jamming situation wasn't up to par for a music camp that cost $500+ for a weekend. When I shell out the bucks to travel half way across the country for a weekend of music, I wanna jam. And I'm talking until 3am. The hotel made us stop playing in the lobby one night and then another night we jammed in the museum for a while. I enjoy and learn a lot from jamming with fellow campers and think it needs to be encouraged and made readily available. Along the same line, it would be cool if the instructors stayed and jammed a little. I don't remember seeing much of that happening the year I was there. But I could be wrong..... Assuming I'm still gainfully employed by then, I'm planning on coming back this year!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
