What ya listenin to now !!!

Lol glad you enjoyed them Daren - The White Stripes album version is much less errrrmmm..."loud" and sticks a bit more to the original.....old Jack White tends to get a bit carried away when performing live......lol.

I've just recently taken up the banjo (2 weeks ago, actually) and am finding that I've got to unlearn everything I'd learned over the past almost 40 years about playing guitar. Even if it takes me forty odd years to master it (lol...or even get the hang of it), I'll stick with it - love the sound of a 5 string banjo !

There are loads of music vids on the 'net, Daren......even if you just use the "video" search on the likes of Google or alta vista........have fun exploring, m8.

i would love to be able to play the banjo mate but im tone deaf inthat department my dad plays every day he used to have a band but now he just plays in his local pub in ireland with his brothers .its mad nobody askes them they just turn up instruments in hand sit in a corner and play all night.its a cracking night out cos they play until they are fed up and thats normaly about three in the morn so we are all normally asleep or so drunk we know we should have left hours ago but thats the irish for you never stop until everyone has had a good night you ever been over there mate

[T.C.]

Lol...no, I haven't, Daren. Nearest I've came to that was that night in the pub in Threlkeld in the Lake District........Brilliant night.

Donno if you know it (Mark will and I dare say a few others might to) but there used to be a place in Weardale calle dthe "Rancho Del Rio"......was a place to go for a country & western night out. Every year, when I was a kid, we spent our Summer holidays in Weardale (still do with my own family now sometimes). One year (I must've been about 15 or 16), our holidays were coming to a close and it was almost time to go home. We'd spent many a night in the Rancho and had come to know the (then) owner, Ken Rowney and his family pretty well. Ken could see that I wasn't too happy about having to go home - so he told my mam & dad that I could stay with his family at the Rancho until the end of the school Summer holidays.......what a fantasic time I had there...........the band which provided the C&W entertainment were Ken and his family......had a great time with them. 1st time I got to have a go at playing a Fender Strat and Tele .....and with a real band, too.......magical times.

Came accross some belters that I'd forgotten about. Just been listening to Son House tonight...........proper blues........there's a rare clip of him here playing Death Letter Blues:

not usually a fan of compilations but downloaded 'Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues - A Musical Journey'
a while back and there's some cracking 20's and 30's recordings on there, it was the martin scorsese bit that made me think aye aye this might be interesting

7 cd set and they are all on there, sone hous, charley patton, jimmy rodgers, memphis minnie, bukka white, big bill broonzy,leadbelly and loads more , amazon stock it, but can give anyone that might be interested the ftp details to download off my catalogue
