Even though I am the farthest thing from christain-Oh do I love me some good ole bluegrass!

My uncle in law (Steveie) plays too- at festivals and such.

The freaking banjo and all of it just has that sound that makes your body want to move. I just love it.

Ah-thanks for this thread Charley Brown!
It has set the mood for my day today.

There are tons of great bluegrass songs that aren't religion based.

Tanks for the clip of your uncle.

Good stuff. I was in the bluegrass club at school. We had a jam every Saturday.

I call it listening because with albums you can't just sit and hear, it requires participation. One has to change the albums, gently push the arm when it sticks and make sure the albums are clean.

All real listening requires participation.

Exactly. There's a huge difference between getting lulled into a reverie and actively exploring music.

E.O.T.

LOVE VINYL!

Yes, a lot of people don't own one anymore.

We've never had one. I grew up listening to tapes and the radio instead of vinyl, and I want a real record player. I keep meaning to buy one, but never get around to it.

I like bluegrass. I just added it to my last.fm account. My laptop has godawful sound, but I'm still enjoying what I'm getting.

I've never owned one. My mom had one when I was a kid, though.

Good stuff!
Most of my exposure to mando has been through Zeppelin, The Tea Party (band), Irish folk music, and one Bruce Dickinson song, funny enough.

The mando still exists in later versions but is put through some pitch shifting and speed ups, which make it sound like some sort of synth thing.

That wasn't bad at all.

And finding one in this day and age is almost impossible at an affordable price.  Then if you can find a decent one, it's a total bitch finding needles.  I agree though, there is nothing quite like the sound of an album.

What's "affordable"?

Best Buy sells turntables with both analog and digital outputs for about $100.

Yeah..... turtables alone  :lulz:

Bought a decent set of speakers lately?

And I have no idea what Best Buy you go to, but the cheapest I saw when I last looked there was a couple hundred for a decent turntable!
