That seals it. I'm taking the Martin to the cabin this weekend.
Have a great Canada Day/4th of July weekend everyone!  Stay safe and keep your family close.

What??  You'd consider going to the cabin without the Martin???  That's just crazy talk!

I'm digging a little bit of whimsy this morning.

Have I mentioned previously that I love me some Hiromi? 

A really, really, really cool take on Pachelbel's Canon.  If the metal ruler thing doesn't do it for you, it's only a short section of the song.  :)

Dave you are killing me - anything at Daryl's House is a treat.  Tedeschi Trucks Band? I can't think of enough good things to say about them, my wife and I have seen them live 3 times and every time the whole band exceeds expectations - they bring joy!

I listened to Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs today at work, it is a bittersweet album as every time I hear it every song reminds me of our yellow lab Lucy.  Funny how music can be connected to an event (Lucy, bone cancer and her leaving us = broken hearts)
Then listened to Jerry Douglas - Under the Wire and finished with Mark O'Connor - the New Nashville Cats.

This morning, I'm studying different versions of the fiddle tune "Five Miles from Town". One of the things I enjoy when New River Bound adds a new/old one to the list... since there usually isn't a bass part, it's a blank page, wide open to interpretation.  :)

Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five.  So interesting, I looked up the chart and followed along.  The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.

Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.

We call a tune like that one "crooked" Dave. And it is a bit of a head-game, but in a fun way.  ;)  Incidentally, Lukas and Eden are the young couple that built Jessica's new banjo I posted about last weekend.

I'm listening to your project this quiet Sunday morning.  :)

Peter; back in the 70's we had the album Martin Mull and His Fabulous Furniture In Your Living Room!  I don't think I've listened to any of his "music" since then.  :)

Gregory; I like the "crooked" description.  In my case, I was sitting here listening to the music when I suddenly realized I no longer knew where the downbeat was.

Not being as intimately familiar with the genre as you, I'm wondering if such crooked tunes cause problems for the cloggers.  :)

And yes, I thought that was the same company; I remember seeing them in previous videos you had linked, including a demo of a partially fretless banjo.  Love their playing.

And thank you again; glad you like the piece.

In response to my whing in the bluegrass thread - a little Sly.

oops - I just noticed that my link in my last post seems to be nonexistent; that's suboptimal sharing right there.
Try it here.

I listened to two or three things from Steve Topping's Late Flower yesterday after seeing it discussed in Jimmy's thread.  Some nice ideas compositionally, and some very nice fretless work by Jimmy.

Here is Strolling Boy; beautiful lead lines from Jimmy.  Gary Husband on drums.

I hadn't heard Hot Time In The Summertime in quite a while.  Thanks!
