Here are my thoughts on the DVD... I am somewhat in a similar
situations with Cooking DVD's it is alot of work to do them right not
like some "neck" in the back house slaughtering a pig, although that
is how my mando sounds some times {wink}. However I am not exactly
the one of few who has the magical gift of recreating Escoffier the
father of Systematical Food production professionally.
Mike in my opinion you have tapped a vein and hit the mother load of
Monroe information, skill, raw talent, luck or HARD WORK... what ever
it was that got you there, you have that.
How many of us wish we had recordings of the old Delta minstrels
singing on the streets in the 20's(or earlier), nobody has'm. There
are and there will be as long as we keep playing the mandolin and some
or all of us can inspire one person in our lifetimes to pick up this 8
string S.O.B. and fall for it enough to want to learn about it.
Think of it as historical preservation, shit we need Ralph Rinsler
back to get the smithsonian to help push this along. There is no DVD
out there that really hits Monroe besides the 2 part video with Bill
and John Hartford... There is Ronnie McCoury but that is more his
style and Chris Henry's again more of the same.
Mike your style is more in Monroe than anyone else, nobody has that
rough aggression... If anyone knows of anyone close lemme know I have
some CD's to purchase apparently.
I'll step down could go on but I'll just get back to the kitchen
now...
