TexasToest: This is a favorite too! And yes, i can relate to just take your instruments and jam.. Great! Thank you for sharing all this lovely music. I always liked Irish music.
Subject: Walks in exhausted after an 11 hours work day...
32 NEW posts!! Wonderful... sits and clicks on Alison Kraus while reading the Wikipedia about Bluegrass *grin.. Of course I have heard about Bluegrass and I like the banjo and the country style.. just was wondering where the name 'bluegrass' came from.. I used to be befriended with a guy here in NL who loved Zydeco, so I even know a bit how that sounds... do they play that in the south of the US? Louisiana? Alabama? Woody Gutthrie, is that a famous name of Zydego music? Guess I need to do also a Wikipedia on Zydeco... I also want to learn more
Jim Dandy: You're spot on, 1999. Kraus did it in 1988. But, Whitley took it to the top of the Billboard Charts. This is all in Wikipedia, I'm not that much of a trivia bug.

TexasToest: Really? I know Ronan Keating had a huge hit with it in the late 90's or early 2000's.I was dating a girl around then who was nuts about it,well,she turned out to be nuts period.When I saw his name I made the connection.
Hahaha! Sounds like a girly-man's name. And, thank you. I'm happy to know at least 1 person doesn't think of me as ignorant. Well, there might be 2, but certainly not more than 3.
OK, as long as we're doing the classics, this song falls in that category. And, lest we forget that Bluegrass is the music of the people, this is how this music is played most of the time, just a bunch of people get their instruments out after supper, and jam.
Tigger: Wow! I had forgotten about the Flectones. Life really gets in your way, doesn't it? Well, I heard Bluegrass, of course, and jazz, and Celtic, and the music of India. It all fit. One of my favorite instruments is the tabla. It's really an exciting sound. Thanks so much for that, it's now on my favorites list. Off I go to Amazon to see what I can find. Hahaha!
You know you don't have to embed stuff, you can do links. I do links, because the files play better on YouTube.
Well, here's something from my experience. This band played the Kerrville Folk Festival one year I was there. The Kerrville Folk Festival is known all over the U.S., and Canada as a must-do event. It's 2 weeks of music and music work shops all day every day come rain or come shine. We go, pitch tents, and stay there, rain or shine for the whole time if we can spare it. Of course, mother nature cooperates, and it rains buckets. At night, after the stage entertainment ends, people build campfires, pull out their instruments, and jam. The artists who are there for the duration too come out, and join in, so it's a great opportunity to meet the people who entertained you, and trained you, and to watch them in action close up. The artists like it best if the people around the campfires join in.
One year, this band, Queen Ida and the Bon Temps Zydeco Band were there. Just as they took the stage the rain started. The stage is covered, so the show goes on regardless. Buckets, I'm telling you, on our heads, running around our feet and ankles, and nobody left. We just danced and sang in the rain and had a wonderful time. Queen Ida talks about the roots of Zydeco in this video. So, give a listen....
Jim Dandy: I agree with you on that. Maybe we should dive for some to see if it fits. But, my suspicion that Bluegrass has at least been born out in Wikipedia. Since I believe it in my heart, Wikipedia must be right. RIGHT? Hahaha!

I've been listening to my Bluegrass station on Pandora (which you may share if you are of a mind to), and remembered that Allison Kraus is a very talented bluegrass musician. So, I went looking for stuff of hers. I found this filmed at Union Station on the Grand Ole Opry.
I got interested in who the child was who picked that mandolin like it had accompanied her in the womb. Her name is Sierra Hull. She is all grown up now, and here she is with, I think, her father (regardless, one heck of a picker). BOY! Can they ever play those instruments. On second vewing, I wonder if the dobro player isn't the guitar player in this video.
Jim Dandy: Your knowledge of music just amazes me sometimes, and you just topped yourself. That's some GREAT stuff there. Thanks for posting it. Radiant2007 :-): Oh, this is going to be exciting. Our little friend from the Netherlands is going to be in culture shock tonight. Hahaha!
Bluegrass is American music and it is a melting pot, just as this country is. You can read a more indepth history of the genre in Wikipedia. You will find that Bluegrass has some Scottish and Irish sounds, as well as other countries. This was one point I wanted to make tonight. Bluegrass is not about ignorance, and hillbillies, it is a celebration of the melding of many cultures. Thank you for asking the question.
I just searched "opera" on Youtube and the searchmachine came up with him. I had never heard of him before, but thought he has an extra-ordinairy talent!
What is the Theme today? I perhaps will post a recording from when I had the honor worshiping God with a band when the theme of the Sunday was 'Israel'.. It's not opera though so, don't want to ruin the theme..
