Really enjoyed this one, Kurt. You’ve got it all going!

[Guerra6007]

Great cover of that song! Keep it going, Marisa!

[Guerra6007]

Thanks, Jill.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Marty69. It was fun.

There have been discussions on Tony’s website (by others, not Tony) about mikes and other equipment you might want to improve your online (and other) sound. But my mikes were bought in ’76 or ’77 and just sitting around since the early 80’s. I got a Focusrite Scarlett 2I2 to plug the mikes into and hook up to my desktop.

If you ‘attend’ the open mike events mentioned on the Play for Others forum site, you’ll see a lot fancier set ups then mine there on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

I am familiar with the folkies you mention, but not so much with the Greenwich Village scene back then.

What’s sad about having heard these songs on the radio, or Ed Sullivan, or whatever?

I enjoyed that era’s sounds as much as I liked the Beatles. How did your gig go?

[Guerra6007]

Thanks for the positive feedback, SherryH! Glanced at your 90 day goals and that they were similar to my last batch. Good luck with it.

I’d be so honored if any song I played got people on their feet! Thanks for the feedback, Alisa!

[Guerra6007]

Thanks for the positive feedback, Bill.

[Guerra6007]

Thanks, Eric. I put in my time on it, and it’s a great twelve string song.

[Guerra6007]

Have to warm up that song for at least ten or fifteen minutes before recording–even though I’ve been playing it for years. But I love playing it, in spite of that.

[Guerra6007]

Thanks, TX. Been playing the twelve string more since I got it set up recently. The

action is easier than it was, now.

[Guerra6007]

Thanks, Loraine! Positive feedback is helpful to keeping motivation up. I’m not ready to jump into any live jam with a solo but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And playing these old bluegrass standards gives a player a chance to practice an improvised version beforehand, which sounds more possible than just improvising on the fly.

[Guerra6007]

Thanks, Ted_D. It just hit me this morning that I should have switched to playing rhythm when the real fiddle on the the backing track kicked in. That’s how it works in a real, live jam, right? One solo instrument at a time. Just keep on keeping on, eh?

[Guerra6007]

Thanks!
