For bluegrass music fans here at the Alembic Club, if you'll permit me a shameless plug... one of my good friends and former band-mates is (one of) the owners/partners at http://bluegrasstoday.com/ He's grown that thing from the ground up... it's absolutely *the* clearing house for everything that's anything to do with that particular genre' of music, and often those peripheral to it. Most of you guys and girls know, bluegrass and rock, particularly the music that emerged from the folk boom, and that of bluegrass' 2nd generation of players, are inextricably related, having met up while travelling the same pathways in the late 1960's. | ||

Wolf, I really like that version of The Call of the Mountains, in found it interesting how the fiddle player holds the bow away from the frog. Here's one with a bluegrass theme. From Merlefest; Nickel Creek, The Lighthouse's Tale. I don't consider myself much of a romantic, but the story that this lighthouse speaks of gets to me every time. https://youtube.com/watch?v=E9hx0T9vWPs | ||

Austin City Limits from 2-25-13 (Esperanza Spalding) and 2-2-14 (1st half Sara Jarosz, 2nd half The Milkcarton Kids). In a desolate soundscape of Justin Gaga Swift drival and thumpity-thimp clamor, they give me hope! Peter (who'll try not to double up like last night) | ||

Thanks Dave, that's good stuff there... hard to go wrong between those two gals. Love(d) Crooked Still in the heyday, Aoife was a perfect fit. And Sara, we'll there's all kinda' "Songs Up In Her Head". =) For this Easter Sunday, I've been listening to (and playing along with) Alison Krauss & The Cox Family's "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow". Alison's brother Viktor really shines on bass for several cuts. By contrast, Union Station bassist Barry Bales is a master of leaving the perfect amount of space between on the slower tempo numbers. Absolute monster players, both. (Message edited by edwardofhuncote on April 05, 2015) | ||

Went to NIU's annual World Music concert today. 2 gamelon ensembles; check (why I went) Brazilian drum line; check Middle Eastern string ensemble; check (piano, 3 violins, a viola, 3 cellos, a guitar, 2 ouds, a flute, a tar, a cajone, & a tamborine) Mongolian throat singer; check - wait, what?!?! I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've heard it. Freakin' amazing! Cat was bowing a 3-stringed, lap-held fiddle of sort, while at the same time, with his throat (duh - thus the name), he 1) Did a raspy/humming bass line 2) Did a baritone line with the same timbre that moved in parallel, and 3) Did a very intricate whistling melody up around 2nd soprano Yes, that's one voice, three simultaneous vocal parts; if I hadn't been sitting there watching, I would have wagered cash money it was at overdubbed. Did I mention amazing? Peter | ||

Cool! I met Devin maybe ten years ago with my friend Geoff; he used to manage a rehearsal studio where Strapping Young Lad played...so we're on our way to the bar after work and come across Devin sitting on a rock in a vacant lot about 2 blocks from that space; he was just watching the world go by i guess (a busy intersection) and he seemed to have no good story for being there other than to watch man/Ants at work...a funny meeting but even in that short interaction you could tell he was odd in a fun way...Tony. | ||

One of the advantages that comes from running around playing music with my friends' kids (Mom swears I'm trying to get waived into Gen Y) is being exposed to music I would not have discovered independently. So lately, singer/songwriter Raina Rose came up in our band's Friday night creative circle... here's a tune from a collaborative album I found to be just irresistible. Especially the bass line. =) http://youtu.be/t9W5EOLolM4 | ||

"Life can be a continuous musical class room." I've noticed that as well.  Here's the classroom lesson I was studying a few nights ago: Dream Theater's Illumination Theory, live with chorus and pit orchestra. Very nice integration of the band with chorus and orchestra. Maybe I was just in a more receptive frame of mind, but this seemed to me to work a lot better than a lot of other similar attempts to add orchestra to rock bands. | ||

Dave , The link that you provided was interesting. If you liked that , then EPICA , a Female fronted Symphonic Metal band is quite awesome in my opinion.___ She sings quite well ! I like it. EPICA - Unleashed (OFFICIAL LIVE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxd6sxLxdys My taste to what I listen to and would be willing to play and perform in keeps growing . What EPICA is doing and playing looks like fun . The fact is that there is $$$$ to be made in Symphonic Metal . (Message edited by sonicus on April 21, 2015) | ||

Wolf; that's kind of an interesting thought, and I started writing a long response, and then deleted the whole thing. Your last post started with "If you liked that". What's interesting is I've been sitting here for a while now trying to figure out what "like" means. I'll say this about Dream Theater as an example; I greatly "appreciate" their writing and musicianship (instrumentally; I have no idea what the lyrics are), and for that reason I tend to listen to them every once in a while (I don't listen to anyone often; well, I suppose I listen to Phil Lesh relatively often). But I don't think I have any kind of emotional connection to Dream Theater's music, just a lot of respect. And again, I'm just using them as an example. So, in response to your query, "if I liked it", well, let's just say I appreciated it. I'm going to have to think for a while as to what "like" means. As a starting point, apparently I like this: Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu - Valentina Igoshina. | ||

Hello all friends ! New strong influences are brewing in my veins . FAUN ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN60xXj10Fo I just came back from our farm in Missouri and played this tune . I love it . This band is a current influence on my interests of bringing the San Francisco Bay Area sound /jam band paradigm to a new and exciting level of evolution. Celtic /Medieval Modal psychedelic trance Improvisation ! My new bag perhaps . May be a new sound in development. The Farm brings me new thoughts and feelings . THINK THIS : Dark Star in the " GAME OF THRONES ! " LIKE WOW ! Dragons and fire and female vocals ! It works .

"...but at the same time it's awesome as it shows that not all kids are wasting all their time with video games and facebook and all that crap...yay music!" True that ^ Tony. I feel pretty fortunate to have been an influence (hopefully a positive one) on several kids musical experience in the past few years. It's been a blast having a back-line seat watching them progress from prodigious youngsters into seasoned performers. My contribution to the "Listening" thread today: Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas & Rob Ickes - "Three Bells". It's fantastic... you would think three resonator guitars wouldn't produce anything more than absolute cacophony, but each of these guys are masters of the instrument. My 2 favorite cuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=36&v=HiudrMUnIrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTOHmCMGAq8 *Mike Auldridge passed away this past year, this album was released posthumously. Mike was a peach of a guy, with whom I once had the honor of recording with. He was one of the most personable musicians I ever met, even wrote some of the liner notes on the project for us. | ||
