If there’s anyone else like him in the class, see if you can find them a big-print (bigger the better) songbook and the list of 2-chord songs, and have them go off in a separate room and see what they can do with G and D7. That might take the pressure off, and seem well worth their time. In other words, keep lowering the bar, but the immutable “best place to start” is learning to change chords and keep rhythm on 1-5 songs. Let me know how it goes! Pete ______________________ Tough love has a mixed reputation of course. Considerate people feel bad about dispensing disappointing information. This turns out to be a big part of what I have to do with students. Tough love for novice jammers means “no book.” Banjo players at my Basic Camp only get to read small amounts of tab.

  • Glen Campbell's Songs Soar As His Mind Fades
    DECEMBER 2013/JANUARY 2014 BY SUSANNAH GORA Glen Campbell’s Songs Soar as His Mind Fades As Alzheimer’s disease takes its toll, the famed singer’s spirit stays strong. The music video for "Hey Little One" shows an older man strumming his guitar and singing a low, slow ballad. His voice has weathered with age, but we'd know it anywhere: it's the voice of "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy," a voice that has won five Grammys, sold 45 million records, and blended country music with pop before it was cool. It's the voice of Glen Campbell. Hearing him tell his stories in song has always been a powerful experience—maybe more so now, because Campbell has Alzheimer's disease (AD). NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images In the video (for a track from Campbell's latest album, See You There), we also see Campbell's wife of more than 30 years, Kim. She holds her husband's hand as they look out at the ocean and the horizon together. It's a poignant reminder that AD changes the lives not only of those who have the illness, but also of those who love them. A Widespread Disease Campbell is one of 5 million Americans with AD, defined by the National Institutes of Health as "an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to carry out simple tasks of daily living." (See "Alzheimer's Disease: The Basics" below.) AD begins with memory loss because the disease "starts in brain areas important for memory, such as the hippocampus," explains Janet Jankowiak, M.D., a geriatric neurologist and member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

  • Roland White Band
    The Roland White Band Roland White Bluegrass mandolin master Roland White has played in some of the most influential and popular groups in the music's history, and has played a notable part in creating that history. Springing from a large family of musicians, Roland and his younger brothers Eric and Clarence first played together as youngsters in their native Maine. Moving to southern California in 1955, The Country Boys (later to become The Kentucky Colonels) won talent contests, appeared on local television shows and even landed appearances on The Andy Griffith Show. They toured the country during the folk music boom of the early 60's, creating a sensation among coffeehouse, festival and college audiences with their instrumental virtuosity, traditional brother vocal harmonies and rhythmic innovations. The Kentucky Colonels' influence far exceeded the band's short tenure as an active band. Their "Appalachian Swing" album remains one of the most important albums of that era, a landmark in the history of bluegrass. Moving from The Kentucky Colonels into a position as guitarist for Bill Monroe in the late 60's, Roland absorbed the traditional feel and repertoire from his mentor, the Father Of Bluegrass, which remains a strong element in his music today. From Monroe's band, Roland joined that of another bluegrass pioneer, Lester Flatt, playing mandolin and recording several albums as a member of The Nashville Grass from 1969-1973. In 1973 a short-lived reunion of The White Brothers was brought to an untimely end due to Clarence White's tragic death. Of this brief reunion came two concert recordings that capture the excitement of the White Brothers' sound fully matured, after Clarence's excursions in country rock with the Byrds and Roland's studies with the Monroe and Flatt.

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • Than a Spruced up D-28 Close Collaboration with a Bluegrass Star Produced This 1986 Preston Thompson Dreadnought by Teja Gerken
    Great Acoustics More Than a Spruced Up D-28 Close collaboration with a bluegrass star produced this 1986 Preston Thompson Dreadnought By Teja Gerken EVERY LUTHIER YEARNS to have a guitar end up in the hands of a virtuoso who will use the creation onstage and in the studio. Some- times these connections happen by chance, but other times they’re the result of a collaboration between builder and player. Such is the case with this Preston Thompson Dread- nought, which was built for—and played by—the late flatpicking star Charles Sawtelle. Thompson (pktguitars.com) first met Sawtelle in Boulder, Colorado, in the late 1970s. Sawtelle was just getting started playing with Hot Rize (he began on bass before switching to guitar; other original members were founding guitarist Mike Scap, mandolinist and fiddler Tim O’Brien, and banjo player Pete Wernick). Thompson and Sawtelle quickly struck up a friendship. Eventually, Thompson moved to Vermont to attend Charles Fox’s School of Guitar Research and Design Center, and after finishing the program, settled in Bend, Oregon. He remained a close friend of Sawtelle, and the influential blue- grass guitarist was a regular houseguest whenever he passed through Oregon. Swatelle’s main instrument at the time was a 1937 Martin D-28, and while he loved the guitar’s sound, he longed for something fancier to play onstage. So, Sawtelle asked Thompson to build a dreadnought with the tone and feel of the D-28, but dressed up with the abalone purfling, fingerboard inlay, and details of a style-42 Martin.
