purchase [Clarence White guitar ]
I confess- the text here is half baked. Never
quite finished – but this music needs to go out before the theme expires.
I used to be a sci-fi fan when I had the time.
Registered user at baen.com where the Eric Flint alternate reality series about
Europe1600's really caught my attention.
If only I had paid more attention. What was
sci-fi back then is now reality. Who would have thought that I would have spent
the past year zoom-ing my lessons to legions of students in a form of virtual
reality. Nothing new: It was imagined in Sci-Fi.
Not sure which <Leftover> (lost) theme to
place this one, but it needs sharing. I’m going to force it into Lessons, because
it is a lesson learned for me.
I get up in the morning and boot the computer in
time for my 7:50 class. It takes a while for all 20 students to join the Zoom
meeting. While we wait .... music. I
need it, I figure they do, too. Lately I waffle back and forth between
Bluegrass and Turkish pop that might be more to their liking.
Buegrass. Flat picking. Where to start? There are
so many, many masters. Recently, I have been focused on an incredible archive
of live concerts made available from Woodsongs. Absolutely amazing 20+ year
archive of … well … start here
Prolific beyond belief, Clarence was a mainstay
of the Byrds as well as too many other bands to name (an early band composed of
his brothers, the Kentucky Colonels, and much, much more). Various online
sources name him as the father of flatpicking rock.
He's an early Lowell George before Lowell George.- and for me, that’s major accolades. Vocals very similar?
