What's a winner if you never loose ?

This is usually my jam from them!

Just won free buffalo wings on the radio for knowing name and artist of this song:

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Glass beach

 

[Frisbee]

Anyone need some really cool medieval vibes?

secondly, it’s not a fiddle...

They're all fiddles when you're fiddlin'.

I work a large scale bluegrass festival every year (except this year, because COVID cancelled it), and Väsen is a semi-regular artist there. They play traditional Swedish folk on traditional instruments like the nyckelharpa. Whenever they are playing the festival, there will always be a few nyckelharpas wandering the halls. So one year it is late, and I head to my hotel room. When I step off the elevator, there in the middle of the hallway is one of the regular attendees with her nyckelharpa, and Olov Johansson having a quasi lesson/jam session. I'm not interrupting that. So I sat down and watched for a couple of hours. When off of the elevator steps Doyle Lawson, who just walked off the main stage and decided he was gonna join their little jam. Which he did.

I got to bed about 4 AM.

Anyway, here's Vasen. I'd imagine tuning that thing requires a Ph.D.

Technically, the definition of a fiddle is a violin that is tuned a certain way and played with a certain style. Violins and cellos are very different instruments. It would be like calling a bass a fiddle... it just sounds wrong.

I spend inordinate amounts of time hanging out with bluegrass players of all shapes and sizes and notoriety. I have hundreds of hours of jam session recordings I've taken over the last two decades that contain IBMA flat picking champions and Grammy nominees on them. Trust me. Everything is a fiddle. Uprights are commonly called "bass fiddles." *Guitars* are regularly referred to as "git-fiddles." There is no "technically." There is no difference in tuning. It's a fiddle if you're fiddlin'. That's it.

Except for banjos. They're just banjos.

Imma be the odd one out and say

"I'm a savage
Classy, bougie, ratchet
Sassy, moody, nasty
Acting stupid, what's happenin'?
What's happenin'"

I have no regrets.

Tupac, Bigs, and Ludacris are regulars in my rotation. I like it old school.

Medieval goes like this:
(IMO best rendition of a poem from the Cantigas the Santa Maria from the 13th century)

(And from the Carmina Burana (also 13th century), on which I once wrote a paper.)

I like the Nyckelharpa. Great Instrument. For playing myself I prefer the Hurdy-Gurdy, though. My bow-work is rubbish. And actually, a Sitar is harder to tune (believe me I tune mine many times a week).

Cool, but less my style.

Though I was not alive when these songs, I love listening to 60's and 70's music. Basically all I listen to.

Na, Bardcore, as they call it, is rather boring. Too often just made with samples and MIDI. I used to play medieval music for a long time, my point was that the thing you called medieval was all but medieval. But well... even here in Europe few people actually know when that period was and what characterised it. But nevermind...

I never said it was actual medieval or medieval style music, I said it gave medieval vibes. It’s modern style instrumental music that was depicting a medieval or renaissance feel.

I don’t usually like most of the music from the medieval era, I prefer baroque or renaissance.

As for the second one, I literally said nothing about, other then I was thinking you might like it.

Came across differently. Nevermind.

Don't really remember how big he was here in the US, i remember the song. Even though i avoided any music back then that didn't involve loud, crunchy guitars, couldn't avoid this song.

He was just a one hit wonder in the US it seems. He had some more in Europe and Asia.

Who just joined my post with yours?

Allright, I was mostly confused how this happened within minutes.

I'll edit my post (#1025), then you can remove this one here.

I know, but I'm glad at least one person did.

I just looked, and the last six songs it's played have been from Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, David Allan Coe, Ernest Tubb, Bobby Bare, and The Band, in that order. I have varied tastes.

 

[Dunk2]

I remember folks I considered “old timers” being critical of the music we listened to.

Now I understand what they were talking about. Don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
