<br><br>Thank you bulwinkl. It was great to hear Roy Acuff/ Ricky Skaggs/ Jerry Douglas/ Earl Scruggs/ Johnny Cash/ Mark O'Connor/ EmmyLou Harris/ Randy Scruggs/ Chet Atkins/ Marty Stuart/ and the Dirt Band do that tune again. <img src="http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=":)"> I remember when the first *Circle* album came out, and Roy Acuff was looking at John McEwen (the banjo picker for the Dirt Band then), and commenting on his (John's beard). Roy said something to the effect of "Hmmmm. I've always heard you're supposed to judge a man by the character of his face. How can you do that , if his face is covered with hair??" <img src="http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/public/style_emoticons/default/biglaugh.gif"><br><br>Oh - - - I forgot to mention, the first "Circle" album was released in 1972. There was a different set of values *back then*,

Last September 11th (Yea - - - 9/11) I found a saxophone in it's case, by the curb of a side street near me. I posted in the local paper's "lost and found", and also on the local Craig's List that I had found this thing lying by the side of the road and invited anyone who might have lost it to give me some qualifying remarks about what kind it was, etc., and identify it so I could return it to the rightful owner. No one answered my ads, and I still have the sax. I took it to a local music store, and they told me that given the instrument/ the different mouth pieces/ and the reeds and everything else within the case that it was worth about $1,200 bucks.<br><br>I have no idea as to how to get the reeds properly positioned in the mouthpiece (I'm used to strings, not wind instruments), and I'm not sure I want to try to use the mouthpieces there anyway since I "don't know where they''ve been". Does anyone have suggestions about how to practice "safe sax"? <img src="http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif">
I hope that I dont bore everyone else to death but here's just one more banjo tune whose rhythms really intrigue me...
No scenery in this one but a nice little taste of a different culture..Its a turkish folk dance called Rampi Rampi
For me its difficult to play being a beginner..if I imagine playing with a gypsy fiddler while being surrounded by swirlling belly dancers --then its a whole lot easier :) :P

Blow up your T.V.
throw away your paper
Go to the country,
build you a home
Plant a little garden,
eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus
on your own

Sweet!
I just picked up another horn on ebay. (Bb Buescher cornet)
The ad said it was a mid 1950's model, which was plenty cool with me.
When I got it and checked out the serial number, it turned out it's really a 1919!
It has beautiful tone.

Mine's a Selmer and I have a couple of mouthpiece setups for it,
One for smooth, one for jazzy and sassy.
I tell my friends that ask me to "prove" God exists to sit down and listen.
Good Music is a wonderful thing,... but fair warning! NEVER ask me to sing!
