Normally I post directly through my ISP, but I wanted to read the group
and I am currently in TN (A death in the family) and was taking a look
through here (Google) and I noticed something. There are a lot more
posters that I see through google that I dont normally see when going
through my ISP. I use Outlook because I like the basic read and post
functionality. Could it be that I am not seeing a lot of posters
because THEY are posting through Google? I dont even recall these names
so I know I havent KF'd them.
Keeping it on topic, the wife asks me "Do you want to go visit my Uncle
Tom?". I ask why, because I dont really know him. Well says she "He
lives up on the mountain, he makes Guitars". What! Theres a Luthier in
the family and I dont even know the guy. Apparently this guy has been
building guitars for about 50 years now (He's 79). The family all play
Bluegrass and Southern Gospel, mostly in the summer at the family
reunion, apparently he has made some of thier guitars.
Saw a group play yesterday in a restaraunt and now I see what using
cheap equipment results in. They were a bluegrass group (and some pop
converted to bluegrass, like Stand By Me) and had 3 Accoustics, 1
Martin, 1 Ibanez and 1 Yamaha, an upright bass player, a fiddle player,
a mandolin and a harmonica player. It was basic strumming with all the
lead done by the Mandolin. They played through a 10 Watt Marshall, I
think it was the MG10CD like I bought for my wife, and the guitarists
played through mic's into a Yamaha PA System. The guitar playing was
average, as was the singing but it would have been very entertaining
had it not been for the sound. I think they could have done away with
the PA system because every single song sounded muffled. Like they were
playing through a pillow or something.
Here is a picture of the group.
