Photo by Bob Vestal. Got news from Ted Miller and Don Evans that the Hickory Hill revised band website is now completely up and running at www.hickoryhillband.com. It includes a few pictures of the current band, as well as a current info up- date from the band. Especially cool is that Mark has all of our CDs up and available as CDs or digital downloads, and all of our pre-CD recordings as digital downloads. On each CD, you can click on “full CD sampler”, and there are sound bytes of each cut on the recording played back to back. I personally haven’t seen that done before, but I really like it! It really gives you a good picture of what the whole CD sounds like. 8 9 CTBA Bluegrass Jam—Wildflower Terrace The CTBA jams in Central Texas are in full swing as we swing into spring. this jam, I gathered a few names of One of the consistently running and attended jams is the beginner/ interested folks and hosted the first intermediate jam held the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at the B.I.G.

Not to be quoted without attribution or published without permission. There has been a lot more written about bluegrass instrumental techniques than there has about vocals. That seems odd, because bluegrass performances and recordings almost always feature the human voice. A few concepts will help you to better understand and appreciate bluegrass singing. This short article will cover solo vocal styles, commonly used bluegrass harmonies, and suggested resources for listening. History And Overview Bill Monroe was the first bluegrass singer, but bluegrass wasn’t the first music he sang. Like many youngsters in the rural South, Monroe attended singing schools led by traveling music teachers. There he learned a simplified “shape-note” system of musical notation that had evolved from the one used in The Sacred Harp (1844), one of several early shape-note hymnbooks spawned by the Second Great Awakening and published during the 19th century. When you hear people singing “fa-so-la-mi” syllables the first time through a gospel number, you’ll know you’re listening to shape- note singing. Monroe also heard unaccompanied ballads, some of them tracing to the British Isles and the Elizabethan era. Before people had newspapers, radio, or TV, they conveyed news and tragic or touching events through song. Parents commonly used ballads and hymns to quiet, amuse, or teach their young children – and to help pass the time while engaged in their work.
