Peter (who has not been able to hear that one since about 1972 without expecting it to break into Fever tree's "Imitation Situation")

They make it look easy… balancing on one leg ain’t no easy feet.

Wow!  I didn’t know Fleetwood Mac covered EOTW!  Opps!

And the Bach/foot-piano piece made me think of this one.  Here’s an especially nice video of Garth.

I've been thinking about it all day... "Eyes Of The World" (the Fleetwood Mac one... totally different, more cynical take on the metaphor) was the B-side of "Hold Me", a hit for Christine. But what else from the Mirage album got any attention? Finally it hit me; "Gypsy'"... that was the really big one from that record... you couldn't turn a radio on for a while and miss it. I also realize that I've reached a point in life where 1982 doesn't seem like that long ago, and yet it was.

As usual, John's bass parts drive right to what's really important in the core of the song. What a slick bass player. 😎  He made me want to do this.

How does he get that sound from a Gibson SG?

I can't zoom in close enough to see, but it sounds like he has a coil-tap function engaged on those humbuckers. I had push/pull pots on my project guitar, they were mini-humbuckers, like from a Firebird, or early 70's Les Paul, but they had a similar zing when split to a single.


They're so great. (Achilles Wheel)

A very Western North Carolina sounding fiddle tune from Sami Braman's band. I assume she wrote it.

*I forwarded this one to my counsel of fiddlers yesterday, just because I thought they might like it, and a rather interesting string of analysis of what tuning Sami might be using ensued. It was finally settled, she was cross-tuned in A, but not the 'calico' A tuning of A-e-a-e... a more unusual one used for a certain effect; A-e-a-c#. Fiddlers.    The keys players of the oldtyme world...

Jerry played an SG for a while, late 60’s/early 70’s.   Got some nice, similar tones out of it.

Being a 4 string guy my tiny string knowledge is not so good. 

I do know that Molly darn near melted her frets on that solo in Black Eyed Suzie.

New music from Alison Krauss and Union Station... Alison takes on a Civil War balad with the last verses tricking the listener into thinking perspective has shifted to first person.

I don't know whose idea it was to put The Hangman to music. Obviously the poem is cut shorter for brevity, but Russell Moore delivers the chills here. I will not likely listen to this one again.

East Nash Grass split a show with Bronwyn Keith-Hynes' band at a club in Asheville the other night.

They are evidently teamed up and touring together some. Bronwyn's up first, leads off with Me and My Uncle. ENG is up after intermission, and there's a big closeout jam with both bands... two of the finest fiddlers on the planet here.
