Well...all I really know at times is that the only thing that seems to work is : music. Life can be perplexing. No matter how we try to make things nice and fair and nice and ...well ... nice, life can still end up being a perplexing thing... so then, what do we do then? What do we do when life is perplexing? Who do we turn do? Where do we go? What is the answer? Well, sometimes it all boils down to: how can we pass on what needs to be passed in? And that is the QUESTION: passing it on...
Today, my daughter came by my home and we talked and shared and talked and shared some more...In the end---she took my Martin guitar home with her---why? you ask: well, in the innermost depths of my heart I guess I hope that the legacy of music lives on.........(Grandma''s Song, Lives On..) Who can truly deny their very own grandma? Well, not many--not many can deny their own grandma...and so it goes...
who do we turn to? we turn to God... Yes, we turn to God, wally...and God created music, thank God!

Thanks for posting this What Hat! They look and sound like they are TRULY enjoying themselves up there on stage: In many respects you gotta love it and love what you are doing, even when performing, or it can steel your joy...me and my group have needed to deal with 'stage fright' and I am the LEAST frightened in the group...as I have always been somewhat of a ham...It does my heart good to see performers show their pure love of the music. Here is a vid of Michael Cleveland (IBMA fiddler of of the year a few times at least). I actually met him at a large bluegrass festival some years ago...what I love about bluegrass festivals is the openess and accessibilty to meet and maybe talk with some members of the best bands there are...pretty cool... Here, he is performing a Bill Monroe classic: "Jerusalem Ridge" in his own unique version...it amazes me how creative and unhindered he is as if he just lets himself go and what comes out comes out. Jerusalem Ridge rings of those ancient tones that I love about bluegrass music!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxnP8Z5JAXQA little slow getting going but he is very good. Especially like when he begins hitting the high notes about a minute. I also had a look at Sally Goodin. Glad you enjoyed that What Hat. I'm a little biased, but just LOVE bluegrass music. Here's a vid of some of my friends-the mandolin player is a very close friend and played on our CD. The guitar picker is a good friend and I have his CD. Love to listen to it on my wy to work; puts me in a good frame of mind. He composed most all of the songs...one thing I've noticed about many bluegrass artists is they often write their own music. That's so COOL! "Pinegrass" www.youtube.com/watch?v=F15NNb7vKbA

"Sunnyside Of The Mountain" by Wil Maring www.youtube.com/watch?v=41QVmj4AGtwI really like this rendition of an old bluegrass standard. Softer. Refreshing. Gotta have the lyrics! Now don't forget me little darling while I'm growing old and gray Just a little thought before I'm going far away I'll be waiting on the hillside where the wild red roses grow On the sunny side of the mountain where the rippling waters fall
Now don't forget about those days we courted many years ago Don't forget all the promises you gave me and so I'll be waiting on the hillside on the day that you will call On the sunny side of the mountain where the rippling waters fall
Tell me darling in your letter do you ever think of me Please answer little darling tell me where you can be It's been so long dear since I've seen you but my love still lingers on Don't forget me little darling though our love affair seems gone

This post made me laugh! The visual of "bitterbetty" across from a reference to Gun's and Roses. If I'm in the mood for loud rock, I play AC/DC.
