:lol: A Newfy song!

Yep, the Dillards had several appearances on the show as "The Darlings". Doug (banjo player) was a very cool guy & funny as all get out...went "bar hopping" with him at a festival once and he had us in stitches laughing for hours. :lol:

Got a surprise at another music forum I'm on tonight. We have a thread where we share recordings & videos of stuff we've learned or are working on and each year the site gives out awards for different things. All but one of the awards are decided on by the website staff. This year I was...

Got asked to pull a little bass for a group of teens in an online collaboration this week. They are all students on a music-lesson forum I help moderate... I thought they all did pretty well...

Petticoat Junction has much the same format...

Two of the best right there! Appropriate things whenever possible! I found a Charlie Parker lick on the fiddle just yesterday...8) Gary, it makes perfects sense. there is an old saying: "what you practice Mon thru Fri shows up in your playing on Sat." Much of the time I have "light bulbs"...

Just left another outstanding fiddle workshop. If I can absorb in a month what was taught in 1 1/5 hours I'll be ecstatic. One of the most coherent educators I've ever run across...& that's saying a lot for a musician.

You'll find both M and m 7ths & 3rds in abundance but b5s more rarely. If you're interested in learning banjo or bluegrass music this is a decent place to start. https://banjobenclark.com/ There is a free trial membership available and a forum also. I've been a moderator on Ben's forum since...

An old standard in anyone's book for sure.

To be honest I don't have the time to try and decipher this right now. Just finished a fiddle workshop on a new fiddle tune and alternate breaks, working through 7 intros to other songs, have five other breaks to figure out, and have a guitar lesson on yet another song at 11 tomorrow. I've got...

haha...I ran through it several different ways in like three or four positions on the fiddle...don't recognise the tune With just the letter changing it's near impossible to tell if it's above or below the previous note...tried several different combinations but recognised none Consecutive...

Glad you enjoyed it. key is E but have no idea on the tune. :dontknow: There are only about 5 million of them:lol:

Country intros can create the same difficulty. Generic playing is easier, but the melody rules for sure.

@Bart I don't have a lot to share that's much good here's links to one more I wrote & a couple things I played bass or fiddle on. I think I've posted most of this before, but just easier to post all here than look up & link each one. Wrote this back around '79. Video is last week. This one...

OK, seeing as we're in a tree worker type forum I'll throw up another happy little number I wrote also from around '93

Thanks Sean, it was meant to be in the story song tradition of Merle Haggard & Charley Waller type stuff. Ryan...very possible, it's quite a common sequence in western music.

Glad if anyone enjoyed it! I've been doing a few of my originals by request for some "shut-in" friends and thought I'd just toss one on here for kicks. @Benjo75 Ben, You might notice the chords are roughly a rearrangement of the progression to the Don Stover banjo tune Black Diamond A close...

Dinking around on some stuff I wrote...man am I ever rusty....

No problems...just thought you might be interested in the other thread also. Only tube I've run is an old Ampeg piggy-back (flip top) with a 15" JBL in it. I liked it Solid States: ran a 600w Seymour Duncan through two cabinets (4x15)...big EV reversed horn with 2 EVs in it, and a front loaded...

We also have a thread here for posting other people's recording just FYI... https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/songs-i-like.9107/
