Guitar, mandolin, dawghouse bass, electric bass. Sing lead. I did the bluegrass curcuit here in NS for almost 15 years. I like pretty much anything with a good beat and harmonies. Also love AC/DC, Kiss, Gordan Lightfoot, Tony Rice.....

I started going to Union Grove, NC for the Fiddler's convention in 1972. I wasn't old enough to drive, so a friend and I took a bus to Winston-Salem and hitched the rest of the way. Did the flat picking championship in Kansas 1 year. It was the year Tony Rice won.

I remember when Jonathan Edwards moved to NS. He was touring up there and fell in love with NS. He moved up there and had tons of problems being able to get back to USA for concerts. He moved back to USA because of how difficult it was. Stan Rogers told me the same thing about his touring in the USA

Me too. Great past-time but damn poor wages. I prefer kitchen parties now. You play any concerts or festivals ?

Yes its really difficult to do anything now. At one time we could just hit the road and head to the states. Now a passport is required.

I don't play that much anymore. Mostly jazz. My first guitar teacher went to the same high school as I did. He was rhythm guitar player for Sammy Davis, Jr in Vegas from 1965 -71. We are still in touch to this day

I love jazz. I always figured jazz bass was the epitome of bass playing.

Wow in the presence of masters..just a beginner here, though that it would be good for the mind in retirement..

Im no master. Its a great way to spend some time, especially if you can connect with other players. To get better you have to practise and its always good to play along with someone who is a bit better at it. It doesnt matter how long you've played or how good you've become there's always something to learn. Have fun with it bro

 

[mrcane]

Thanks man, I am having fun with it

When I was learning frailing or clawhammer picking, I just couldn't get it. Then another student that played banjo told me the secret. He said it was in the wrist and to cast a fishing line. When I started doing that, man it all came together.

I always wanted to try banjo but figured i wasnt coordinated enough. The chords look simple enough but learning the rolls would be a different kettle of fish. Might get me kicked out the house too
