    How many people are going to open those PDFs, interesting though that there are, and then say, 'darn it! NOT volume 3 Simon!' ?

    I feel so bad now...

    Re: Is anyone else scared of Bill Monroe?

    Re: Mando and Fiddle duo's

    Thanks lowtone - those videos were exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. I love the sound of mando and fiddle paired. I'm surprised you can't find more of that kind of stuff on YouTube
  17. Re: Nice solo arrangement Sunny Side of the Street

    This is fine. I love the solo jam aspect of it. Did you know, that according to an interview in a mid 60' Downbeat magazine, this song was Howlin' Wolf Chester Burnett's favorite song?

    From the POV of a being jazz players - and as one that does not consider themselves a Bluegrass "picker" - I'd call it string band jazz. Sure, they look more like a banjoless Bluegrass band, and...
