ALL CAPS is the new mullet.
As J says, your head may spin at the power of what the Playdarers are doing. It’s a great piece of work.

- pals on punkOn punk vs the people - gurdonark: The key, to me, is for a music to evolve which both permits complete participation and provides scope for instrumental virtuosity. I suspect this music will involve software synthesizers, but also give scope to new Yngwie’s. The hip hop folks understood in an earlier time that they could […]
- early sacred harpIn this picture of psalm singers in colonial America, notice that they're facing one another rather than an audience. This is still how Sacred Harp is done. Engraving by Paul Revere included in William Billing's "The New England Psalm Singer" (Boston, 1770): The hollow-square seating arrangement for Sacred Harp singing: […]
- Spotted Pony tab and sheet musicA piece of handwritten sheet music for a fiddle tune called "Spotted Pony" came into my possession via a mandolin player I jammed with in LA by the name of Bill McClellan. I got to like the tune and wanted to teach it to a trumpeter I've been playing with in Oakland, but my original […]

It's on Shattuck in Oakland, a block or so from the Berkeley line. This is the second time I've played there. It's a really relaxed and pleasant thing to do -- have a latte, read […]
- Africa PolkaMP3• FLAC• MP4• Ogg Vorbis• Africa Polka is a song I got from Turner's Banjo Journal #10, a British magazine of sheet music from the 1880s or 1890s. I think it was a yankophile thing populated mainly with American music. There was a banjo fad going on in England, an early example of American folk […]
- Punk and amazementPunk was against solos. The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Clash made the absence of a guitar hero in their lineups a strength. It was ok to have pre-arranged instrumental elements -- the guitar line in the Ramones' version of "California Sun", the melodies in Ventures covers -- but the idea of soloing was squarely against doctrine.
