Ya know..Im not sure what part of a song like that is better :) the playin, the vocalisin or the spirit.
Mountain musin truely is an inspirational thing
the way the notes combine to play on one another and become something bigger :)
I tolerate drums. tho its not traditional in bluegrass.
I hear it as rythym
Bluegrass is very much like Jazz. I call it souped up Hillybilly Jazz. It's an improvised music. The artists learn the basic songs and master their instrument, then they can play with other Bluegrass musicians even if they have never met before. Each artist uses improvisation with each song and makes it his/her own. Many many times I've seen a group of strangers gather under a tree and pick music together for hours and sometimes for days, and it was some of the best music I've ever heard. They would try to "out play" each other by "coloring" the music with their own style and improvisation. I'm missing it even now as I type. There is nothing else in the world like it except maybe the Jazz festivals.
That's an old album that I'm getting these songs from. It's obviously a live recording, but I don't remember where it was. It has a lot of his standard songs on it.
They are all standards :)
Im glad to know a new generation is gonna hold those standards high.
I love the olden music its still fresh today to me. fresher than rap

Funny thing is, in rock, the drums are my favorite instrument. Go figure.

"They's good hosses". Thanks for the downloads. It's time to get my "Circle" 25th anniversary CD out again.

"I didnt realize that Don Reno played with Monroe"
Apparently Everybody played with Bill Monroe at one time or another, I even had a man in my employ who once played with Monroe. It seems that Old Bill refused to pay anyone more than a pittance and so they rotated in and out.
Why, that cheap ol picker ;)
God Bless Jimmy Martin. I still have one cassette from the early 1980's from him, talk about "Living It and Feeling It". Got turned on to Del McCoury after high schoool and fell in love w/ Bluegrass. Now I've gone backwards in my listening to older bluegrass music. Whew, it is beautiful. We just don't get enough visits here in Los Angeles. But I do hear 'Grass Valley Nevada' calling for me to attend in June.
Thanks for posting the songs, especially, "In the Pines."
A nice man originally from Sneedville, TN.
You're welcome! :o)
