    Re: Thoughts on keys.

    Re: HOG SOL on SGW

    Yes, agreed. Some of my happy songs are rather silly. Which is not to say that humor can't infuse serious or cynical or satirical songs - it can, indeed, and quite effectively - but being silly may...

    Re: Help on counting this phrase

    I'm thinking - Forget the notation, play it by ear. He's playing a 4/4 rhythm with his left hand, and the triplet figure is set against that, producing a natural syncopation. He does it three times,...

    Re: New Mandolin Cafe Hat

    I'm all for progress, yet I value tradition. I thought something valuable was lost when, in the wake of the popularity of "The Preppy Handbook" in the early 80s, the Yale Co-Op began selling baseball...
