What are the choices?
Yes?
No?
None of the above?
As i mentioned at the start of my earlier post, i did not find the thread sooner because there are so many to check out already. I like talking about other tunings, but my vote would be just keep it under the number one heading (Hawaiian slack key, etc.)so it's more likely to get my attention |

Naw, its not dead...just been playing. I am not sure mixing the music in the Hawaiian forum is a good idea...I still think an experimental area fooling with tunings and genre is a good discussion area. I personally feel uncomfortable talking Kottke in the Hawaiian forum...I also hat bopping around other formums...takes to long to build decent relationships. All of the interests exist here, but are filtered to just Hawaiian (justifiably so).
I think a new sub-forum with explicit guidlines can help do the trick. I propose a 6 month trial. Our common thread is slack...but we do some of us, have related intersts...who knows what good could come out of this?
6 month experiment.

I didn't mean to imply I could play worth a cr*p. It's a very simple arrangement of 'Mr. Bojangles' that I heard at a Taylor workshop in Paso Robles, and it still took me months to learn it.

Steve,
I can't play Kottke but at half speed, either :)
OK, Mike, I vote YES for the 6 month trial! |

Choking on a Chicken Bone
A woman goes into a restaurant in a small southern town out in the country. She orders the fried chicken and starts to eat. Eating too fast, she chokes on a chicken bone.
Well, these two country boys in the next booth notice she is choking, and they get up and go over to help her. The first country boy drops his coveralls and bends over, and the second country boy starts licking his butt.
She pukes all over the place, dislodging the chicken bone from her throat. The country boy pulls his coveralls back up and says to the other excitedly, "You're right Billy Bob, that Hind-Lick Maneuver works like a charm."
OK, did that rescue this thread from a slow death? |

Mike, My Man, this thread is setting a record for the longest thread about something that most people don't want. Congrats.

Mike,I am still impressed and helping you extend this thread by posting yet another. Wow! Not only is this what I said it was, it is actually a *Poll*, and, also, *not* in the Talk Story forum. Never has this been done before.
Dude, you got some kinda karma, and I want a piece. Even after that story, which I heard being told by an 11 year old to another sub-teen about 7 years ago, you got no flames, this thread isn't frozen and the beat goes on. What more can I do to help you? I know, let's go over to McMeen's ListMail and capture it and talk about Turlough O'Carolan's ditties played in Leonard's C. I'll bet the blighter wasn't really blind. Yeah, let's go!

LOL!
OK, I'll leave it alone. Just seeing if anyone was awake out there. Excuse my sub-teen humor...just seemed somehow, in a perverse way, apropo...

| A long time ago, Solomon said that there was nothing new under the sun. Every human has to reinvent the wheel- or at least percieve its application- for themself. Guitars and ukuleles aren't native to Hawai'i. Thank the Mexicans and the Portagees for bringing them. "Taropatch" tuning is the most widely distributed tuning on the planet. It has been found in 500 year old German lute tablature. Ever hear of "Spanish Fandango"?That tune and tuning came from Mexico. 200 years ago, G and E were common tunings. The "standard" tuning we fight with today is a compromise between those 2. The first person I saw "slack" the strings was my Grandma-she was from northern Sweden. I jammed with Led once, we played "Sweet Georgia Brown". The great Cajun fiddler, Dewey Balfa was told when he was a kid, "A song shouldn't die." Musicians have always listened to other musicians. Music is communication. Like Led says, "Jus' press." Too much talk is gettin' in the way of yer practicin'. Nuff said. |

Mike
At the risk of being the last poster an yet another thread (I seem to have a knack for that) I suggest you post whatever you want on the forum under talk story and see where it goes.
I for one am still an avid player of other forms of music, largely in alternate tunings, so, if you don;t mind the drivel I usually write, you will at least have one respondant. |
