(Chinese Bluegrass (REDGRASS): Red Chamber 紅庭, Jaybirds)
A very nice mix of Bluegrass (banjo and guitar included) with Oriental instruments :)
Give it a listen, you may be surprised :)
It is instrumental, no voice.. but it was a 'pick me up' when I heard it (vid is low quality).
Ping... Sorry, not sure who likes Bluegrass... if there is a Bluegrass pinglist, please ping them :)
My music taste is very wide.. don’t like (c)rap though..
Favorite is Classical, Bluegrass, R&R (50s-60s) and lots of 70s and 80s Rock... much beyond that too.. but it gets more specific.
The reason I made this post/thread... We need some positive motivation. Not much positive ANYTHING recently :/
Thanks for that link! Awesome! Sent it to my husband to share with his bluegrass band. Oh, and if you find there’s a bluegrass ping list, let me know!
That........was GREAT!!!! Some SERIOUS pickin’ ‘n’ grinnin’ going on there.
I’ve longed believed that music, more than ANYthing else, can and does bring people of all stripes, all colors, all creeds together across vast cultural divides. It truly is the universal language.
Great post. Loved it.
Will do... also, likewise.. if you find a Bluegrass ping-list, ask them to put me on it. It was the best way my pop (God Bless his soul) could let out his emotions and pass on his past.
Very cool.
HREEEE HRAWWWWWW
I wish I could pick at a banjo like my dad did.. could never figure out the 5 string though :p
Can play semi-decent on a 6 string.. well, I play several instruments.. but I could never play what they did back then (depression). Then again, I could never get close to Bach nor Beethoven either :D
I DO make music when I have free time now, but it is all ‘electronic’.. I would record with me playing trumpet IF I had a full group together now, but that would never happen :p
Anyway, try to keep positive, as well as those around you :)
lmao.. laz, I honestly wanted to put you in the ping... but I couldn’t remember the spelling.. I only know, “LAZ”.. (and remember there was an imposter Laz.. couldn’t remember which spelling was which... but, ‘Laz would hit it’.. ;)
I like Bluegrass
have a load of Doc Watson cds...some Flat and Scruggs tunes, plus the ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken’ cd from the ‘Dirt band’ and various geniuses from the bluegrass world back in the mid 70s
I also like Rock and Roll, R&B, Rockabilly, Rock (what R&R became in the late 60s or so), Blues, Country, Motown, Soul, Swing, early 20th century Jazz and Classical
there is good music and crap in all these genre.
I do not like modern Jazz(late 40s onward)
and I do not consider Rap music.
I’m a rock guitar slinger of over 40 years. I can melt you with power chords.....but never been a fancy flat-picker like these guys. I admire the skills, even if the style of music hasn’t been my choice through the years.
OH!!! If possible, if he has a Bluegrass website.. post it here (send me FReepmail in case I miss it)..
Nice to know I am not the only one still listening to BG :) (been here too long :/)
Same taste (mostly).. although.. what they call country today, I don’T :p
The country I liked was more a Folk type.. after about 1978 (or so), it changed/evolved... don’t like most after that. Rap itself..... I actually like it when it was clean ‘dance’ music (pre-1986).. After that, it went downhill reall fast (don’t think I need to explain... although, the dress ‘style’ today would be considered very ‘gay’ (I say queer or FAG) :p
R&B lost me when ‘racism’ came into play... there are exceptions, but rare. Same with Jazz...
Thanks for sharing! Sending this off to my daughter who is a serious Bluegrass Freak.
I like Bluegrass; some of my mother's family played, one uncle made his own banjos. All deceased now, unfortunately, and I have no musical talent myself. I like old country music, I probably heard the Grand Ol' Opry on the radio every Friday and Saturday night of my life, until I was grown. I also like classic rock, Southern rock. It sounds as if we have some similar tastes.
The mixture of music on my iPod most people would probably find to be very odd!
Very tasty, thanks
Ping
was told you may like this :)
BTW, I used to have1 of Doc Watson’s 8 track can’T remember it now though.. I think I was around 10 years old, or so :p
Cute clip but is there anything American left that the &%$#ing Chinese wont take over, buy, ruin, or dilute?
