I do wonder how many of these great quotes I occasionally hear accredited to Einstein are actually his.

if hank or his kid could sing, i might have listened to them.

i got to admit hank wrote a good song or two.

too bad that leeann rimes, in the meantime, has decided she's got a great body.

I like the high & lonesome sound there, Dak, but I'd call that clawhammer banjo Old Time rather than Bluegrass.

Bill Monroe would have been 100 years old this Tuesday, September 13.

Uncle Penn:

UNCLE PENN
Recorded by : Doug Kershaw; Bill Monroe; Buck Owens; Elvis Presley;
Ricky Scaggs; The Flying Burrito Brothers; Hank Williams

Oh, the people would come from far away
They'd dance all night till the break of day
When the caller hollered ""Do-se-do""
He knew Uncle Penn was ready to go.

CHORUS: Late in the evenin' about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Penn played the fiddle, oh how it would ring
You can hear it talk, you can hear it sing.

He played an old piece he called ""Soldier's Joy""
And the one called ""The Boston Boy""
The greatest of all was ""Jenny Lynn""
To me that's where the fiddle begins.

REPEAT CHORUS

I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Penn was called away
They hung up his fiddle, hung up his bow
They knew it was time for him to go.

REPEAT CHORUS

Seemed close enough to call either way. I get that bluegrass is a specific genre, but Roscoe has to at least merit honorary mention.

Yeah, boy. I've got an electronic keyboard and a little grand pye-a-no that I've just put new bass strings on.

You can do all kind of nonsense with digitized sound, but there's nothing like live strings resonating through spruce & mahogany. It just fills the atmosphere in a different way.

my girlfiend could play the fiddle like crazy, and sing,(maybe a little flat, but not horrible so)... i would browbeat her into driving around the countryside, stopping at beerjoints, and playing for beers.

it was a fucking tragedy.

those people didnt seem to give a shit about nashville.

they knew about nashville, for sure, but hey didnt care.

I hate to say it but I have an earl scruggs album.

I used to drive all over hell with girls to hear music here and there. We'd drive twenty hours non-stop to Texas with an open twelve pack and a quart of coffee and drive without stopping. It's a wonder that we never got nailed. Those were the good old days.

the thing that really bothers me is that nobody knows what they're capable of.

like this beach in baja california... the topography made a slit with a natural reverb, and the mexicans would sing there... the americans shit there, despite their knowing what the place was about.

mexicans seem to assume they can sing, so they sing... americans seen to assume nobody can sing unless they have a microphone.

lord knows how many americans have... voices... that could reach us, if they wwere still human.

Yes, except it ain't there no more. The building's still there, last time I checked. I drove down to Pasadena (Pasa-get-down-dena as they call it here) and took some pic's of the empty shell.

We don't do any bar hopping in Houston for some reason. I do all my Texas drinkin' and drivin' in Austin these days.

Lots of those great voices of the past trained up without microphones like Hank and Kitty. That includes the big classical voices that I'm real fond of too and have on vinyl.
