The foxes here are somewhat shy.  I learned a local resident up the mountain from us, shot one recently.  I have no words…

 

Yup, it sure is a lot classier to pick a little banjo for them. I have words, but I'll stick to the cowboy code.

I have never heard of "True Temperament Frets"... you can see them and at first I thought it was my eyes!  

She plays this well and is a fabulous blues player too.

I had to look up "True Temperment" also. I thought it was a different tuning system, such as Bach's "Well-tempered" as in his 48 preludes and fugues in all the keys. Before then, only some keys worked on keyboards, due to the tuning system in use in even earlier generations.

 

But no, True Temperment appears to be something quite different, taking into account the string thickness etc. Fascinating stuff. Not that my ears can tell much difference! I've tried tuning my keyboard instrument to some of the ancient tuning methods, and frankly couldn't quite detect it.

 

Then again, I'm happy with Sumosprings on our camper, which many think are too this or too that... Life is easier for some of us who don't notice subtleties!

 

Boy, that woman sure plays beautifully.

Thanks Steve.I needed some great sounds after this weeks news from the supremes.

 

Take Five is one of my best liked,with Joe Morello on drums.

I started listening to Dave early 50s.One of his first albums "Jazz Impressions of the US" (hard to find),

has a track "Sounds of the Loop" Morello on that cut is fantastic.

 

Saw Dave a couple times at a 900 seat outdoor venue in the hills above Saratoga,Ca.
