Dan Tyminski Band - Tiny Broken Heart - March 08

Live At The Birchmere

Tiny Broken Heart - A

He was (I) just a little farm lad, so (IV) busy he'd play
With his (I) little playmate outside the (V) gate.
He (I) stopped to watch a truck that was (IV) parking next door
At the (I) home of his (V) tiny play (I) mate.

Chorus 1:
(V) Then he saw his daddy watchin' (I) too
As the men swiftly walked (IV) to the cottage (V) door
He (I) knew they were strangers that (IV) came from the town
(I) Men he had (V) never seen (I) before.

Verse 2:
They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say,
"Our neighbors are moving today"
"Oh No!" he cried, "Dear God don't let it be,
They can't take my sweetheart away!"

Chorus 2:
I know dad you don't understand
How a heart so young could conceive a plan
I'm only seven now but it's just like you say
Daddy someday I'll be a man.

Verse 3:
The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live
He told me it'd have to be this way.
For wintertime has come and the work is all done
That's why they are moving today.

Chorus 3:
Let us buy the farm so they can stay
And give them all the toys that dear Santa gave
And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank
Pennies that my darlin' helped me save.

Classical music hasn't changed in hundreds of years and yet it is performed by the world's best musicians in the world's greatest concert halls. hickgrove69's comments only serve to display his layman's tin-ear mentality. The DTB has top-notch musicians who know a lot more about music than this sad sack who contributes nothing but negative comments.

Ron Stewart can sure get the tone and feeling on his banjo, and what a great fiddle player he is too!This is becoming my current favorite band!

[strim75068]

Awesome.

[HillbillyJ]

And I think you brought up a very false one. There is still inovation. But the mindset is still based in tradition because:

1. They have a deep respect for where they came from.

2. Some people have a "if it ain't broke..." mindet. Would you stop liking your favorite food if they didn't change the recipie? Chances are you'd wish they wouldn't. Some people are the same with music, esp. bluegrass fans.

Just give it time. More innovators will come. Its inevitable.

[HillbillyJ]

Fretkillr may have brought up an invalid point, but as a classical fan I really agree with. Many classical peices are 100s of years old. Classical music hasn't had many new instruments added over the years either.

I understand innovation is needed at times but your really selling this stuff short.

Hickgrove69 and crazycuntryboy, I disagree with You both, AKUS has introduced me to Bluegrass, and I´m diving deeper and deeper in it. And Innovation was and is strong, think of Newgrass and other things, but you can´t go too far beyond, or you will loose that bluegrass soul. I.m from Austria, so my Introduction to Bluegrass was not so easy. Thanks to YouTube, that offered me things I would have never known of, from Stanley and Monroe up to Krauss and Tyminski.

[banjomartin88]

Sorry hickgrove69 I see now that your comment was a response to somebody elses comment. lol

[banjomartin88]

Wrong band buddy.

[bluegrassrulz]

making money

[johntrik]

When new-grass scene with all these mixing blues-bluergass-pop-rock stuff starts gettin'real boring and without reason,you just wanna go back to the source.And these top pickers bringing back the soul and the truth of good ol' bluegrass music .Now that's what i call new grass!!!

The song was written by Ira Louvin in the 60's and is a classic Louvin Brothers tune--not "new" in any sense. From the writers of "Cash on the Barrelhead", "I Wish You Knew" "The Angels Rejoiced" "If I Could Only Win Your Love" &c. The Louvins(the Loudermilks, actually) who listened to the Delmore Bros.- and Dan T band carries the string tradition forward.
