(Pot-Kettle-Noir) Anyway, man, I'm all with you on the blugrass festival. I can listen to it in small doses on the radio (I feel that after a dozen songs or so they all pretty much sound the same), but I love watching it go live. I'd give a body part to be able to fingerpick well enough to play the stuff! My early church experience was Catholic, and everybody knows theres not much fun in that (there is drinkin, tho).

It's amazing to watch a blind man play like that. The purity of his intonation may have something to do with the acuteness of hearing one often finds in blind folks. Get "Old and in the way." Best-selling bluegrass album of all time. Peter Rowan, Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements, and David Grisman. We saw Doc Watson live a couple of times while we were in Chapel Hill.

Felt like drop kicking it's metaphysical butt. But that's another discussion. It's funny, but the bluegrass has showed me a way back to those churches I grew up in. Gives me a whole new appreciation that isn't tainted by residual teenage angst and atheism du jour. AT, wordpress wouldn’t get off my back this morning. Felt like drop kicking it’s metaphysical butt.

Actually I have been thinking about taking lessons though. I do have a Fender 6 string acoustic guitar just itchin' for me to learn. ...and yes I was a Sknyrd fan. Back when Sknyrd was Sknyrd. Even shared a beer with Ronnie Van Zant once. BTW, thanks for the link Joel. Great tune. No, not yet. Actually I have been thinking about taking lessons though.

I listen to a variety of music, but I admire Hartford the most. Steam Powered Areo-Plain and also Steam Powered Areo-Takes (which is at the lawson mcghee library, where i first discovered J.H.) are the basics. I bought a "RCA recordings" from disc exchange awhile back, it's namely earlier recordings, some of which are borderline rock/folk/goofy/excellent. Also good are "live from mountain stage" and tracks he sings on the John Hartford tribute. there's alot more though, i just haven't gotten around to getting them, but will. Dont miss the <a href="http://www.wdvx.com/main.html" rel="nofollow">wdvx blueplate special</a> either. I make it down there during lunch for the live music occasionally. I've seen some amazing musicians there. The kind of thing where I feel like I need to pick my jaw up from the floor. I don't seem to have any Doc Watson except for a flatt and scruggs track titled "rebuen with doc watson". I'll definately check it out.

My dad checked out his records from the OR public library when I was a kid. Later, I collected most of the old RCA LPs, which I still have. Amazing stuff. I heard the Aereo-Plain ensemble live my freshman year in college, which totally weirded me out after the RCA material. Then, I heard him solo my senior year in college with the material from Mark Twang. Again, some amazing innovation. I also agree about the Live from Mtn Stage recording. John was raised out here in St. Louis. We saw him play about 20 years back, and his dad (a retired faculty at Washington University Med School) was in the audience. Totally agree about John Hartford.
