WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

The Molly Tuttle tune was well-timed Dave, as I've been sitting here banging away on my beat up old D-18 again today, slowly finding my way back. Golly, that little girl grew up to be a fine guitar player!


I just read the other day where those guys are hanging it up after next season Coz... sounds like for good reasons though; life and love. https://bluegrasstoday.com/flatt-lonesome-says-bye-bye-for-now/

She can pick a little, indeed.  And that's great you're progressing so well!

Well, darn!  And I just discovered them yesterday (on Bluegrass Underground - which seems to have an actual bluegrass act about every 7th show).

That was the right tone for this morning, Dave.

I can't find a single track from it on YouTube, but up in my shop yesterday I listened to a various artists compilation CD of mandolin players, aptly titled- "The Young Mando-Monsters". It came out back about 1995 or so, and I want to say David Grisman had something to do with production... and as the title suggests, it featured the next generation of mandolin notables. You might wonder why Chris Thile isn't on the list... believe it or not, he had yet to catch the attention of the larger masses, but you can bet a few of the guys on this record knew of him.

Anyway, I'm sure it's stream-able if you do that, and everything is on Amazon. Indeed I had forgotten how great that album was, front to back... probably why I put it in the shop in the first place.

Ha! Apparently, this thing got re-issued. Elderly Instruments has actual hard copies... I didn't think anybody did that anymore!

I joked with Joey a couple weeks ago, how my tastes in pop country music were like a golfball teed up in a tiled bathroom... (think about that) but I liked what these guys were doing, in the relatively short time they were doing it. I sat and played bass through the whole CD last night.

Saw Leo Kottke Monday night with my son at a great venue in Minneapolis - the Guthrie Theater.  I hadn't seen him play in a long time (early 90s) but his playing is still great and his banter between songs is just as bizarre and tangential as I remember.

To Be Alive by Stanley Clarke Band. I have put this in the set list for my next gig so it's become an earworm.
