Recorded back when Courtney (the banjo picker) was still alive.

Someone should've told Sam (mando picker) to wear a shirt under the overalls.

John Cowan (mentioned earlier in this thread), on bass.

Leon - - leading the song as he so admirably does.

New Grass Revival with Leon, doing a Stones song with a "bluegrass beat".

I had a nice long drive today and had the opportunity to relish Bob Dylan's "Modern Times" CD which I hadn't listened to in a few years:

Heres a few:

i was trying to work this out on banjo which although enjoyable probably isnt really a great idea for anyone else within earshot, and may have gotten me shot if the composer heard it

It sounds much better in 'the original' :)

Kind of a strange piece to be playing on banjo, isn't it?

Try Aaron Copland's "Hoedown" if you want to do classical on your banjo.

:biglaugh: --Well yea--probably--I never claimed really to be normal (whatever that is)--it just sort of happened without any forethought--by then I was already somewhere in the middle of it--so I toyed with it some----It is all the same notes no matter what instrument plays them --even a banjo
Try Aaron Copland's "Hoedown" if you want to do classical on your banjo.

That was already done by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

Needless to say, his version of Hoedown was a wee bit better than mine of Pictures at an Exhibition :wink2:

I love the Flecktones!!

All great stuff Thomas!

I just now got home from a live performance of Pictures by the Boston Symphony with Yo Yo Ma.

It was preceeded in the program by the Karelia Suite by Sibelius and Elgar's Cello Concerto-

I may talk alot around here, but words are completely inadequate for me to describe the beauty, power and insight of that music.

Ive been familiar with Pictures for quite awhile,(My painting master 30 years ago would blast Mussorgsky whenever he needed to overcome a creative block).. one thing that was new today for me was to learn that (I should have known) This piece was written about an actual art exhibition displayed in St Petersburg, in 1874 ----and the various segments of Pictures at an Exhibition musically describe actual known works.

My program today had good quality pictures of those pieces of art....It was very interesting to to visually explore the inspiration while the piece was being played live...

the finale..the Great Gates Of Kiev...as always is so noble and regal, that it is impossible 9for me anyway) to leave without bursting with hope.

sorry for ramblin'---

It was real treat

Speaking of Yo-yo Ma: here he is with Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer.

3 of the BEST, and about as "complete" a sound as you're going to hear.

Good tune too! spy.gif

The 00's or ..wait a minute its the 10's now (is that what you call them?) are just as good...Taylor is another guy from my area a year or so ago I was walking by an Inn in my area and he was pickin on the front porch.

Wow. What a treat, Mstar. cool.gif

I'm not really familiar with his "current stuff", but i'd have loved to have been walking by there, with my double case with fiddle and mando.

Perhaps he might've let me pick along on one or the other of the two. Front porch picking is as "therapeutic"/ fun as it gets.

"Parking lot picking" gets a real close second, (as you probably know) to front porch picking! spy.gif

James was a favorite of mine back in the early days. He's stood the "test of time". smile.gif

"Hunters Moon"

I probably should post this on some crisp October night when the full moon is shining because aside from the title it feels and sounds like that to me.

But even though it is as hot as hades Im posting it anyway--Its still a great piece in my book..
