Hi Nelson, I am one of the tbuggers that recommended the Blake/Rice 2 CD. If you are enjoying Norman's mandolin playing, there is a Homespun tape (and probably a DVD now) with a number tunes played and demonstrated by Norman and his wife Nancy. One of the tunes they dissect is Father's Hall, whic

Hi Brian, All I had to do is step 1 and I was able to open up Mississippi Palisades and Grub Springs pdfs, the mp3 of Mississippi Pal, and a picture of Mr. Monroe. Seems to work for me. Kathy On 1/14/11, Brian Ray wrote: > Hey Jason, I'm confused... if you weren't able to see the > TaterbugMand

Lack of posting probably has to do more with holiday travel and time rather than lack of interest. As a newer member of the group, I really appreciate all the conversations and comments and even though my version of the December tune may never make the land-o-tube, it has been fun working on it.

Very good points Gathel. I have already learned alot about myself watching my video attempts. Like do I really hold my pick like that?!! Kinda like listening to your own voice. We do tend to be our own worst critics. I also find this group very supportive of everyone's attempts and hope to have

Thank you for bring this up. I wondered if I was the only one confused by the difference between the mp3, the youtube, and the tab. I went to a jam this weekend and asked an old time fiddler there if he knew Hatcher's version of Grub Springs. He promptly played the straight version of the tune f

The procrastination monster can be a big factor but being busy with other life stuff can be too. Guess it depends on how much everyone is looking to develop their repertoires. I personally like to have 3 or 4 tunes I am working on at a time. Perfecting a tune takes me alot longer than getting it

Hi. I'm new to this group and may I say what a joy to find so many others sharing my passion with this music. My earliest memory of listening to a song over and over was an old 78 record of "Your Feets Too Big", maybe pre-Fats Waller. Getting ready for an 8 hour drive tomorrow and I gathered these
