Highway No. 61 Blues

[smokerlg]

This is a really good song and a lot of other stuff makes sense now - bob dylan -> highway 61

[frankie12string]

@smokerlg - thanks, man!

[bennymcfarlane]

Bloody Brilliant!

[samjessin7]

Man, I need a shower after every time I sit down and listen to this.

[startoer]

You folks give the most real sound and feeling of the music you play of anyone I've heard in sooo long. Can't get enough of it.......

[frankie12string]

it's the only way we know to play... it makes me happy to hear that it satisfies.

[smokindog]

So Sweeeet!! Thanks!

[gadaya]

That's the most authentic string band sound i heard on the tube... Bravo from France....

[frankie12string]

thanks, man - we can't really play it any other way.

[Bayrum78]

OMG - that is SUPER-FLY!! Stop making us mere mortals look so.....well mortal.

[frankie12string]

Nate - you know I'm sitting around while Kim and Sam do the hard stuff!!!

[Frenk78rpm]

Really love your stringband sound!! Closest in athmosphere and playing to what I hear on the old 78ths of Jack Kelly and Will Batts!!

[frankie12string]

vele dank! that's what we're shooting for, of course... replacing dan sane with sammy's mandolin...

[370sp]

[samjessin7]

si c'est chaud en janvier, qu'alors?

[frankie12string]

alors, nous jouerons, bien sur!

[jima2985]

Fantastic!

[billkilpatrick]

pure alchemy ...

i think we have the same model bowlback - an "a. galiano?"

[frankie12string]

honestly, we're not altogether sure how this one got here... just came out on its own.

The mandolin is labeled 'Stella' - has fancy purfling and what look like celluloid inlaid flowers on the pickguard. I have a couple other Stella bowl-backs, but they're nowhere near as fancy or well built as this one.

[billkilpatrick]

"stella" mandolins have their own following - also american made - but sam will know that from the "bowlbacks of note" thread in the "classical, etc." section at the mandolin cafe.

once again - great stuff.

[frankie12string]

The fancy Stella actually belongs to me, but I'm happy to have Sam play it when he's around, dog-gone him.

I dig Stellas, but the Galianos are the really nice ones...

[mherlihy0816]

Great job!

[frankie12string]

Thanks, man - it was more fun than anything else... in retrospect, I think it's too short - is that immodest? Don't mean to be, but I do kinda like this one... love the fiddle & mandolin... woohoo!

[mherlihy0816]

When the train gets a-rolling no one wants to get off. And why should they?
