i can't think of a single member of this forum more appropriate to give music to by snail mail, haha wow

That sounds about right. I think one of the vacuum tubes on my computer is going out so I'm gonna go watch football on my black and white TV. UHF is coming in pretty good tonight

ha really, i never knew that about you gugs...450 shows, really

i guess they're all different, but how many have you really gone back to? i mean, you must have so much stuff in your overall music collection you haven't listened to in ten years

ha ha, no doubt about that

I go through Dead "phases," usually weather-related (i.e. a lot of summertime listening), but I go back to them quite often. They just make me feel better a lot, if that makes sense. I'm sure it'll be ridiculed here. lol

For the record, I pretty much hate Phish.

Just the Dead & Widespread Panic, that's it for my jam loves.

oh god, widespread panic...i have a really good hippie friend of the non-dirty variety that is nonetheless the biggest goddamn hippie i know and he never shuts up about widespread panic, seriously i'm never listening to them just on the damn principle that i'm forever telling him to shut the hell up about them

 

[dorian gray]

haha the non-dirty variety

 

[dorian gray]

didnt Lizard listen to Widespread Panic?

which is strange then, because Widespread is not at all hippie-ish. they're flat-out ballsy southern rock, who happens to jam. nothing "noodly" about them

 

[Reign in Acai]

what did the phish fan say when he ran out of pot?


"this music sucks."

Country evolved from bluegrass...Whereas bluegrass hasn't changed much since the 1860s.

Haha, you fail with this post. Bluegrass wasn't around untill about the 1940's, sorry mate.

 

[dorian gray]

Uhm, I live in Nashville. I will take a picture of the actual historical marker at the Ryman.

 

[dorian gray]

Meh, ok, seriously, I see what you're getting at. Maybe that's when the first radio broadcast occured (although I'm sure it was long before that) but bluegrass as I understand it was created when Appalachians got together with a mishmash of European instruments (ie a variant of the dulcimer, etc.) and started jamming. To my knowledge, immigrants were around long before 1940. I said 1860s because of the Civil War. Many bluegrass songs and styles were spawned from that tumultuous time as a means of expression and communication.

 

[Chromatose]

You're right about that older Appalachian music sounding very similar, but Bluegrass itself didn't come around until the 1940s. Highly influential, but not "bluegrass" specifically.

 

[dorian gray]

Keep in mind, 99% of my posts are shit I made up. However, I will take a picture if the marker in front of the Ryman. I'll be walking past it this thursday on the way to the game. I'll look like a fucking tourist.

 

[Demilich]

Bluegrass is named after Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys who formed in 1939.

From reading about bluegrass, it sounds pretty fuckinggoddamn different than country.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Demilich and Chrome are both right except that Bluegrass is country music as well.

Explain how Bluegrass isn't country plz.

Freefrom and Progressive are both Jazz, Thrash and Power are both Metal, Bluegrass and Bluegrass and the Country you are thinking of as strictly country are both Country. I don't care if your from Nashville, those are just facts.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Country fuckin' SUCKS.

I'm gonna have to dig into this bluegrass stuff a bit. I'm gradually finding myself opening my mind to all the kinds of music I used to completely disregard. Its fun.

I have a fucktonshitcrap load of Bluegrass, but if you don't like country you probobly wouldn't like 98% of it.

 

[Demilich]

I like Cash and some other countryish stuff I've heard. Really, I'm not one of those "Country music fucking sucks end of story" kind of people. I was once but that was fuckin lame.
