Very nice recording. Quite expressive!
Time to give this thread a bump. Has anyone read Victor Wooten's new book "The Spirit of Music"? I've just ordered my copy. The line “Music brings people together, not only to feel, but to agree on...
Many of the old hymns have descants written for the sopranos to take flight on. There are also many descants written for trumpet. Most are in the public domain. Lots to have fun with.
Victor Wooten's The Music Lesson. While Wooten's novel is about a bass player, it is really about his philosophy of music and life.
Nine months ago I might not have noticed the difference. My laptop speakers don't do the first recording justice. With decent headphones the difference is remarkable. Even recognizing the difference,...
I've been learning a lot about video streaming and audio mixing this year. I'm amazed at the tools we have to work with. When it comes to audio, there seems to be no end to the price of the...
To take out that verse totally changes the meaning of the song. That's as bad as the Frank Sinatra rewrite of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".
I just bought your new CD off the Slocan Ramblers website. My Xmas present to myself. Cheers!
I'm surprised they are charging $150 for non members to attend. I would have thought they might try to make this online event more accessible to draw new people in. the IBMAs took this approach and...
So will you be putting one of your excellent arm rests on it as well?

Great camera work as well. Given how much he was moving, I'm amazed it didn't pick up his movement on the microphone.
I've been doing webcasts for my church with good results over the past few months. We use a Logitech C920 Pro HD webcam. It will easily handle 2 people 6 feet apart. The built in microphone is okay...
I've always enjoyed playing the Cantigas on the mandolin. Such a delight to hear.
Beautiful piece, and an introduction to a very interesting man. Thanks for both.
For me Warren Ellis shows what an emando can do:

I have not played the multioud, but Godin makes very good quality instruments for the $. I have many friends and family who love their Godin guitars and the A8 mandolin.
This world has gotten too uptight. This world needs more groovy music so we can all lighten up, get in touch with our joy and maybe even learn how to dance with abandon like hippies.
That was pure joy! The look on the two guitarists' faces said it all.
I thought it was interesting how they included some of the outliers. They gave a lot of time to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Circle album, even though it never was embraced by country radio, even to...
Wonderful! Were you able to be there for the concert?
Glad to see the return of the bowtie in your videos.
In the article Andy mentions he's been listening to Wanda Jackson. For those that don't know Wanda:

Sex, drugs, the coming of rock and roll, sibling rivalry, and some smoking hot music. What more could a movie ask for? I'm sure many country music stars will be begging to do a cameo in this film.
