Guitars, tips and great music discussions
I’ve said before that I was directed to Mississippi John Hurt by way of Bruce Cockburn.
It was not for his personal charm but for his technique.
This musician has had a huge influence on Bruce’s approach to acoustic guitar picking so once again, if it’s good enough for Bruce then it’s good enough for me!
Now if I came across this little gem of a video before he sent me his way, I think that I would have looked him up anyway. Decide for yourself.
Keep on Jammin’
Well Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

They were the biggest-selling American act in any music genre in 2006, but now country stars Rascal Flatts want the rest of the world to hear their songs. The band talks about performing in London and their collaboration with actor Jamie Foxx. (Feb. 1)
They seem like a bunch of guys that you’d love to go camping with, if your into that sort of stuff, I know I love it!
But anyway, they appear to be fairly talented and modest. I read that these guys have a bit of a grittier side to them that is just crying out to be heard.
So only time will tell if they are the real thing!
Keep on Jammin’
