videosift deserves more futureman

That gentleman is quite the dobro player.

Also, Bela Fleck is so young in this video! I didn't realize he had been playing publicly for so long. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though.

for your string picking enjoyment

heheh - now that I"m a bit more sober, I have to pull back just a bit from that grandiose compliment. It is one hell of a playlist, though.

I used to have a similar (i.e., word for word identical) philosophy on music. But after years of listening to the likes of the Grateful Dead, Bela Fleck, Johnny Cash, Allison Krauss, and dozens of other country musicians, I realized that what I didn't like in country was the same as what I didn't like in contemporary pop music - no soul. There is an incredible amount of really great country music out there if you learn to avoid the pop music crap created in Nashville studios. Given your otherwise very eclectic tastes, I'd recommend keeping that door not entirely closed.

Thanks man, Yeah my tastes in music is pretty much everything except country music. If I wanted to hear men crying then I'd go to a strip club and listen in on what they say to the hook erm um strippers

I was just about to go off on the inclusion of Sly in a "Muzak" playlist. Then I checked the whole list. Wow - that might be the best playlist on the sift. Nice work!

I'm an old Tull freak. I also listen to a lot of Peter Gabriel and attendant musicians. I loved Yes and The Who. A lot of that music still stirs the soul . Now I have added goodies like Bela Fleck and Phil Keaggy (his instrumental stuff is of particular interest).

I find that the current music scene has been diluted in multiple ways (all bad) and I keep going back to the standbys that knew how to make music.

I'm glad your iPod is rockin'!

Silver,
You and I need to sync our i-pods. On the other hand, they probably have the same songs.
