One of the nice surprises of this group has been the liberal helping of linkage to various video goodness available from Mr. Statman... I have had the video of him playing Fiddlers Blues on a loop for the last twenty minutes and i'm no where near tired of it yet... what a cracking wee tune.
But, but, yes, i have only really heard Mr. Statman on album and i never knew that he vocalised while playing, well, thats if i am right in presuming that the hum-a-humming on that track is indeed from Mr. Statman. Personally, i love it, mostly because it reminds me of Kieth Jarrett who has also been known to vocalize while playing/improvising, much to some folks annoyance. (Then again, i have been thinking recently that, for me, there is a lot in comon between the musics of Statman and Jarrett... but that may be just me). But i got to know, is that a common feature of Andy Statman's live playing? Also, does anyone else here vocalize when playing and does it help your playing any? (and one more time round for Fiddlers Blues, oh my poor old foot is stomping overtime) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
