Chopping is the name for rhythm -- when you pay the chord, then dampen the strings immediately with your left hand so they don't ring out. This gives the chord played a percussive quality. Mandolin and banjo pickers both chop a lot in bluegrass songs while some other person is taking the lead break, or singing. . .

:D-->

hmmm. No I don't remeber any sites that actually let you *hear* them. -->

Rats! I was trying to make the logo a live link. :(--> Anyhoo -- try MANDOLIN CAFE. Many, many good links there, especially to Elderly Instruments and others on the right side of your page. Good Luck! David

Cowgirl -- I found THIS ONE, but I don't think it is what you are looking for. I stayed up till 8 am today, searching my past posts for it (I believe it was all on a thread you started called Bluegrass and Folk Music about a year ago), but I couldn't find it. It might still be there, but I bet it is one of the ones Paw deleted, cause no matter what I typed in, it all came up blank. David BLUEGRASS IS THE VITAL SOURCE OF LIFE

HA! :D--> Never, unless I am around my nieces. I have to plead *mea culpa* to being ignorant otherwise. ;)--> David

If anyone can show up here and recruit any of us back to twi, they have a successful career in selling ocean front property in the desert awaiting them. Or selling air conditioners in the Antarctic; Or selling a television to a blind man; Or selling a satellite radio to a deaf man; Or selling a ..... Or selling a ..... (You fill in the blanks). I agree with mstar1. It makes for easy (and sometimes) amusing reading. David

Men of old were attracted to woman of old. How many of them do you think are around? Cook, iron, wash, ........ You mean like the virtuous woman, in Proverbs 31?? The woman who is not just a sex object, but an actual *team member* in the marriage? Someone who is capable of making competent decisions,and her husband goes along with it, cause he sees the validity of her decisions? A woman that a man trusts to act responsibly with whatever is thrown in her path? A woman who can referee any disagreement within the household, and have all parties come out of it happy? Someone who can handle money and make major purchases, and keep the bank account in the black? Someone who works hard and diligently so that her family is never in need? Someone who is always there to comfort her kids and her husband (when it is needed) and be able to kiss away the hurt, and successfully promise a better day tommorow? I'm a *boomer* too, and while I agree (somewhat) with your assessment of the 60's, I have never have taken the position you espoused about being after one thing only. And I am not belly-aching either, cause I kinda like being alone -- but if I were looking: It would be for a virtuous woman, not just *one of old*. :)--> David

Praying here for the safety of all in it's path too. David

Whether they were quoted accurately, or deceitfully, I do not know. But that is the list given at the end of the article. David

These are the sources cited in the gmir article of The Way Magazine/ May-June 1982:

I agree with Evan. :)--> David

Forgot to mention --- am definately sending prayers your way. David

Brother Speed -- Thanks!! It's good to hear a positive report for once. David

Dan --- ROFLMAO!!! :D--> :D-->

Woops -- I'm forgetting my manners! --> Irisheyes -- Welcome to GreaseSpot! (btw -- that is Irish green, NOT twi green!) :D--> David

Dan -- yes, there are. I still have the gmir article, and got it out to take a look. Interesting reading and McConaughy does cite several sources, including The Anti-Nicene Fathers. All the citations quoted mention the earthquake and such, but no dead men walking or being raised from the dead. David

And ps --- I'm not really mad at them anymore (although I am irritated that they are *still in business*. I'm glad to be out, and no longer a part of their schemes. I have found God to be much larger than twi!! :)-->

You have that one right. I am wondering now if that was their only goal, from the beginning? Could be. Others may know, I don't. David

Twi was the northern end of a south bound horse. :)--> David

"were those chairs stringed????" Most likely, but the bigger question is by whom? :D--> David

Call 1-800-dmi-ller (sorry -- couldn't resist!!) :D--> :D--> :D--> (hey -- at least it isn't a *900* number!)

And they *advance* too, rather than go to a *retreat*. I wonder if Jesus ever *advanced* to a mountain to gain guidance???

(they're everywhere!)
