Re: country blues
I've been working pretty hard on Grub Springs, have recorded it three times now but what's coming out is not what I'm hearing in my head, I'm not happy with it at all. I think I have to grind it up again a few more times and see what comes out. This is strange for me as I'm not the least bit bashful about my playing, I've been know to jump right into any jam, crash and burn and come up smiling like I meant to do it just like that. But this is different, serious folks that know what they are doing and some mighty fine pickers. Not so easy to skin your ignorance in front of your heroes. I'm working on it.

Here's the deal...this tune of the month thing is about each of us playing our interpretation of a given song/tune. That means, whatever your muse tells you, that's what you do. If you hear a song in a different genre, have at it. If you want to play it on something beside mandolin, do it. Give your emotions their due. Give your whims their due. Give every phrase your best.

Re: New group page
Don, I'd only join a group that's got you as a member. So I don't know what that says about us...

Re: Song of the Month-December 2010
Excellent, Val! I do love the sounds of those oval holes. You did a great job on it. From: Val Mindel To: Taterbugmando Sent: Wed, December 15, 2010 1:18:56 PM Subject: Re: Song of the Month-December 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEB-vzpSPT0 There it is ... the link to the really only so-so video of my grub springs effort. It was an interesting exercise, mostly in getting over my fear of all the technology involved and then to get a take where I wasn't swearing or dropping my pick or something and that was short enough to be reasonable. Anyway, guys, you've all inspired me past the technology hurdle. Also in examining tunes with such a thoroughness. Thanks so much. Sorry that I couldn't get a shot with my head included. I wasn't being coy; the clips with my head in there also involved the swearing and pick-dropping. Now if I could figure out how to edit these videos, that would be excellent. best val On Dec 4, 1:58 pm, mgromkey wrote: > Oh, I get it.
