I had thought Ronnie's guitar playing son was named "Evan" from when Grisman had introduced him at the Ryman. Apparently, again from the liner notes, his first name is actually Heaven.
Love those hard copies though. So much information on the band, instruments played, guest artists, song writers, etc. Re: Ronnie McCoury If you have a chance, see them live. They are almost surreal in their tightness. Originally Posted by jdchapman. If you have a chance, see them live.

The following members say thank you to Ivan Kelsall for this post: Bill Kammerzell. Love the new Del Album as well, really strong song writing on that. Caught them at Grey Fox this year, and a lot of times in years past its like yeah its Del its good but is the same thing every year, but this year they really played a great set, a lot of new stuff, was really a treat, and Ronnie is the MAN no questions.
Thanks Darren for suggesting! The following members say thank you to tmsweeney for this post: Darren Bailey. Re: Ronnie McCoury I have to agree with everything said here already. I saw them play with the Infamous Stringdusters and they did the same three set setup. When everyone came out at the end I thought there was no way it could be anything but chaos, but it was great!
Re: Ronnie McCoury These folks are tight. It comes from playing together for decades and doing thousands of gigs both with Pa Del and with stand in guitar players. Not to mention the thousands of hours that these musicians spent honing their individual skills.
Well done Cafe, and well done Ronnie McCoury for treating the questions with such openness and respect. Aug, am 6. How does this affect your rhythm playing? Ronnie McCoury: GRW3, I would have to say the hardest part of the transition is the varied guitar rhythms we now play with.
The Travelin' McCourys don't have a regular guitarist and use whoever is available. I'm so used to playing alongside my father's rhythm that I feel like I do have to concentrate more on it, especially when singing. As far as the mic'd question, I don't always find it as comfortable playing with everyone mic'd.
It's hard to get a good balance and someone is usually too loud or not right in the mix. When playing around a central mic you mix yourself and you get better dynamics. In most cases this is easier to play rhythm with. It touches on very improtant aspects of acoustic musicianship, amplification, and playing together. Whatever music you play with others allways means interaction with them. It means that you have to - without necessarily compromising your style - blend the sound of all instruments into a pleasing mix.
Rythm is an integral part of that and the quoted answer shows its importance taking the guitar as an example. Blending music on stage is the most improtant thing to achieve a balanced sound. The interview covers the different aspects, especially interaction on stage as opposed to playing either amplified or over single mics where apparently the soundman dominates the mix and often fails to please the musicians at least.
As a sidenote with regards to the mic preferences: I think the mics are Neumans not Nuemans. And they are great mics indeed. The Hamburg appearance in The Mountain tour was stellar.
About 10 years ago I collaborated with Peter Mix on a project to create a series of videos demonstrating the great instruments being built by modern builders. I have re-published the series on my Mandozine Youtube channel.
The Rigel series of mandolins are in a class by themselves. Pete Langdell first engaged in mandolin building in the s. Taking fundamental but astute acoustical theories, he formulated a totally radical process for mandolin building. He took his machinist skills and invented a process by which a solid block of wood could be crafted and carved into a mandolin's sides, and a bottom and top skillfully attached without the need to bend sides as tradition once dictated.
Upon the release of the first models, reputable players simply could not deny the world-class playability and gutsy sound these instruments were capable of. Peter Mix recorded a series of videos demostrating the various models. Wendy Anthony has been a tremendous help to Mandozine, assisting me in the redesign of Mandozine in , cleaning up and tagging the TablEdit files, and alerting me to changes that need to be made on the site.
Her site is a treasure trove of mando content. With the phenominal success of mobile applications for tablets and smart phones, as well as their desktop counter-parts, there is no place to find a consolidated list to serve the technological enabled musician that has enbraced this new era of technology. This document will attempt to fill that hole.
In a brilliant acoustic engineer named Lloyd Loar developed the Mastermodel series of acoustic instruments, and invented the first solidbody electirc viola. Loar was the architect of the modern stringed instrument.
