Hello Philip. Welcome to the meeting. We can’t help with your addiction but we can relate

Yep. Looks like I did it. I gotta re-fix my strat so bad. even though it sounds fine. I'm ashamed of it even now

Hey! 😤

Haha!

@@rustyaxelrod Sssshuh, oops, sorry. Nothing personal. Totally big fan of Bluegrass, and all the banjo greats, Scruggs, Stanley, Trishka, Krause, Thompson, Seeger and Crowe, and of course Sonny Osborne doing his roll while brother Jimmy holds that Ruuuuuuuuuby note as the audience goes nuts. I counted 40 secs once Axully seen that live more a few times. And who doesn't agree Garcia on the 5 string was a virtuouso in his own right (though Fleck with his "techno" gig always rubbed me wrong as it lacks roots and soul) Memorable meet at Winterhawk Copake NY 1984... I saw Vassar Clemmons hanging by a fence after a Sat set having his pipe so I went over to him and offered him a drink, he had his fiddle with the itty bitty man's head, I made a request "Jessica" he said Oh son, I'm glad you like that one but I dont have the talent with me to pull that off. But then that night he was joined by Grismon and Rowan for Old And In The Way (no jerry) which ran almost til dawn until the New York State troopers showed up asking Don't you people ever sleep? And when Rowan sang "... When you're dealing cards with death, the joker's wild, the ace is high Jack bid the Mississippi River, Running Elk raised him the sky Jack saw him with the sun and moon and upped him with the stars Running Elk bet the Rocky Mountains, Jupiter, and Mars The sun was sinking in the west when Jack drew the ace of spades Running Elk just rolled his eyes, he smiled and passed away Jack picked up his torquoise stones and cast them to the sky He stared into the setting sun and then made a mournful cry " ... I was laid back on the side of a hill in the foothills of the Adirondacks with the brilliance of stars piercing the velvet of night as sweet melifulious tunes wafted up on a cool summer breeze from the stage below. And back at the tent grounds it was picking and strumming til the sun came up Car camped in the rough many a long weekend like a couple of hobos chasing festivals around the East Coast. So forgive me I didn't mean to offend and here, enjoy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arx0ptWpv7TZd6c.html

Tommy Petraglia - you seem a nice fellow who enjoys banjo and given the jokes I’m sure you know it’s a common thing to needle the banjo player, I’ve even told some myself. I wasn’t really offended, just being the straight guy for ya 🤓 I like Some of Bella’s stuff but you’re right that he’s more “modern” or whatever, its his interpretations of classical music and original stuff I enjoy. Of course the bluegrass stuff is the most exciting, personally I like the great vocal harmonies and when the banjo comes in it just seem to bring everything up a notch. I spend much more time on guitar, mostly to get the kids to sing, I enjoy the family aspect of playing music having grown up that way. I’m still bummed out over Ralph’s passing. I guess none of us will be here forever. I was searching around for something to listen to the other day and found Ralph Stanley with George Jones doing From the Window Up Above here on KZfaq, give that a listen sometime, when I was a kid (in the 1970’s) I had an uncle who would play that song whenever anyone would listen and was surprised to hear such a good version of it. Anyway, keep on jammin my friend and again, no offense taken.

I’m a a banjo player and have a Tesla. Close anyway :-) and I still like the banjo jokes

Truss rod soul snatching. bwahahaha

It came to a sticky end, RIP
