What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 16-07-2014

I often enjoyed Bill ! One thing he said that stuck in my head ...The dobro is not a real instrument,,,,so I don't believe he ever employed dobro players,,,shame I love the dobro a la Jerry Douglas !

This is Gorgeous !

I never liked Bluegrass when I was younger but the older I get the more I appreciate Bluegrass and Bill Monroe for the contribution he made. I did listen to my uncle play the guitar and sing Bluegrass. He was very good. He was on local TV in a band when he was younger. I'll skip over to youtube tomorrow Steve since the video you left won't play here. It's getting late now.

Interesting comment on the dobro so I looked it up--purely info; no comment from me and I'm assuredly not trying to make anybody wrong :

"Today the resonator guitar is included in many bluegrass bands. However, to the best of my knowledge, Bill Monroe never had a Dobro player in the Blue Grass Boys band. Interesting. "

Beautiful Steve!! Thank you Confusedmile: Of course the dobro is a instrument and Jerry plays it very well!! And what can I say about Allison that has not been already said. She sings like an Angel. One of the best videos I've seen on here. I really enjoyed the video Confusedmile:

Recording History

albums - 36
singles - 19

from my library (cd)

[Image: mfnmn1.jpg]

Producers: Peter Schekeryk

27th studio album - no chart activity

Did not know the girl had that many albums. Shows what 2 hits can do for your career. And those hits were 22 years prior to this album. Can't
find where this one charted anywhere, nor were any singles released. Melanie's voice has deepened from her Brand New Keys days. I get a Stevie
Nicks feel on a few tracks. She should have stayed away from Purple Haze cover on here but that's the only track I don't like. Disappointed that
the youtube clip of my best track on here has bad audio and missing any percussion that was on the recorded track. I guess being live makes up
for it. Melanie is now 67 and her last album was in 2010. Says she toured Australia this year so she's still doing what she loves.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
