David Rawlings is as fun to watch as he is to listen to. I had to dig up that old New Yorker article about Welch that talked about his f-holes fronted guitar.<BR/><BR/>I have a 16-year-old nephew who sounds a lot like your son. He's a banjo player and always looking for opportunities to perform. It thrills me no end that there are still kids who love this kind of music.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-74772714340219932092007-02-15T12:51:00.000-05:002007-02-15T12:51:00.000-05:00If she's on tour, I thought she might have a new C...If she's on tour, I thought she might have a new CD and went to her web site, but no.<BR/><BR/>Welch's songs are popular among non-professional bluegrass pickers who gather for jams. I accompany my teen-aged son, the fiddler, to jams sometimes, and it is always gratifying when we're off in the heartland of the country somewhere, and a good ole boy will choose a Gillian Welch song when it's his turn to name a song. In a way, her compositions are art songs, but they speak to people from all walks of life. The lyrics are as soulful as lyrics can be, and the melodies captivating. I just love her music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-4722691102667256052007-02-14T11:50:00.000-05:002007-02-14T11:50:00.000-05:00Just beautiful.
