Bluegrass

I was born with a banjo on my knee... and even after the tumor was cut off I still grew to love bluegrass. So yeah GR my man, I've got your hookup at least for a few good albums and recordings. I'll trade you it all for a mason jar of good Wisconsin shine.

PM me and we'll figgure it out. Server/Torrent/Gmail/snailmail

And so a meepy lovematch was made.

We put that baby to bed. Let's do lunch.

i might be interested in a hookup, yo. i'll occasionally seek through the radio stations and there's one in dc that plays bluegrass at like 1am. it's at this moment i wonder why i don't listen to it other than the stumble-on times.

Because My GF LOVES to share online pictures my personal server is pretty jammed full. Whats the best way to transfer 3 or so gigs of pickin & ol' time singin? Anyone have space for a little private linkswarm leech server I could upload to for the few peeps interested?

I have an FTP.Check your PM box.

I just love bluegrass; used to listen to some great radio in Atlanta. And after picking up the fiddle, I have a renewed interest, but unfortunately nothing on CD to share. Can I get on the download list?

I have sent messages with login info to those who have replied to this thread.For best results,I would use a regular FTP program because a lot of times it doesn`t play nice with web browsers etc...

Each of you have a folder to put meep in so there isn`t a bunch of random meep all over the place.

There's Blugrass band from the southside of Chicago that the kids seem to like. They are called Leadfoot....might want to myspace them.

This lapse in activity has been brought to you by the Florida Keys. When thinking of slacking off and drinking too much in the sun Please think of the Florida Keys. This has been a Message from the Florida Keys Department of Alcoholism and Fishing Dependence.

Sorry dudes, I'll upload ASAP this week.

You have to know about Old Crow Medicine Show. Fantastic Americana/Bluegrass for the modern on-the-go types.

Ok, so I listen to all sorts of music, and I love bluegrass. There are so many awesome groups out there it is hard to pick one or two as prime examples. However given the eclectic nature of LinkSwarmees I think you might find Danny Barnes really interesting. He current music isn't bluegrass at all, not even close. He comes from bluegrass roots and plays a bluegrass-style banjo, which is the only reason I mention him in this thread. I'm still trying to wrap my head around his music. I suspect chemical augmentation is truly necessary, but whatever, it is still some funky stuff.

Chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough

Why is the "chicken in breadpan pickin' out dough" anyways? Do chickens really like bread dough more than their corn feed? I haven't asked one in a while.

I usually try to ask them why they are crossing the road instead.

And what the meep exactly is shortnin' bread?

Here is a story filled with win.

Last Saturday I was headed for the student union at UW-Madison for pitchers of brew and live bluegrass bands. Walking across campus, I fell in beside the Dalai Lama, who was heading to some destination on campus. It was kinda cool walking along with a living deity, but he really didn't say much. At least i got that going for me.

I hear he likes Nazi jokes -- giggles at them like a small child.

Opportunity? Missed.

That's cool... hangin' with the llamas. I hear they can spit pretty far.

I've got a few gigs of bluegrass, too, if you don't have enough collected by now. Some of it's in FLAC format, though.

I've got New Grass Revival, Yonder Mountain String Band, and some classic old stuff: Doc Watson, Scruggs, Bill Monroe.

I'll take all the Yonder and Scruggs ya gots. i guess i can use Toast to put it on Itunes. Sorry, I am a Macmeep, so we gots to werk from there.

I PM'd senor smoke about getting in on some of that ftp space. If I don't hear back soon, I'll make some rapidshares or something.

I might just batch-convert the FLAC files if you can't play them. That'll be quicker to upload anyway.

awesome - me 2, plz :)

I haven<code>t checked the PM</code>s yet,but will in a few minutes.This thread is over a year old and anyone whom I had made a login for some linkswarm bluegrass,is long gone for lack of any participation whatsoever.

Round 2

ding ding

Senor_Smoke: long gone for lack of any participation whatsoever.

Senor Smoke gets meepy about his FTP for some reason. You guys better log in!

^The man speaketh the truth!

When I have someone asking me for their login info that they lost,and I have to browse through a meepload of usernames that haven`t been active,I just use that special Kung-Fu delete meepon.I figure if someone wanted back in,all they have to do is holler.

Anyways,Ghost,Jwalker and MstrLance have been added for the bluegrass swap-meet.

Anyone else?

Count me in please. Nothing to upload unfortunately, not much Bluegrass down here.

Senor_Smoke has made good with the ftp space, and I'm upshoving some bloogr meep right now.

I forgot all about this.

Dragonstaff and Truenative have been added.

Okay, after a bit of a false start, hammering out the proper combo of app, settings, and naming conventions... boy, it's been a while since I ftp'd anything. Long enough to forget that filenames shouldn't have blank spaces... anyway, there's a zip full of classics ('59-'66) in the 'Bluegrass' folder now, with several more to follow. Next up is a strictly instrumental album by Flatt and Scruggs with Doc Watson.

Sorry about leaving that assload of loose files that only took the first word of the filename. I'd delete them myself, but I'm getting 550 "file not found" errors when I try.

Here's a little something to whet your appetite while you're waiting.

'Will the Circle be Unbroken' - it was made some years ago by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but they made it with a pile of bluegrass legends.

I used to play rhythm guitar in a little group led by an awesome fiddler named Amy Lounder, she moved to halifax and is in a new band now, they're pretty good. 'Contra' is a type of called pattern dance, that is surprisingly fun to do.

They're on tour now, and i get to see her again in a couple of weeks.

...more of their tunes at myspace http://www.myspace.com/smokincontraband

Danny_Inferno: 'Contra' is a type of called pattern dance, that is surprisingly fun to do.

In my teen years I let some girl talk me into going to a few contra dance events. It was pretty fun... sort of like a cross between square dancing and line dancing, but without the meep country music; live fiddles playing celtic-sounding folksy music instead. It was pretty fun, actually.

There is now plenty of bluegrass on Senor_Smoke's server, if anyone cares.
