Food for Thought - The Art of Reaction
September 01, 2022 21:00 - 5 minutes - 3.56 MBHi everyone. I've had a couple of weeks off the podcast to have a holiday, but I've been mulling over something Dan Tyminski said in the interview I did with him a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share it. It's about the idea of reacting in music, rather than just playing. Dan talked about how Tony Rice did that and also how he does, and it got me thinking. The idea of music as a conversation, one that relies on listening as much as speaking, is something I've always been interested in. ...

The idea is it feels a bit more like playing at a jam session. I know some of you use these tracks to work up to attending a jam so hopefully this will help with that!

July 22, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.64 MBHi everyone. This is another Food For Thought episode and it centres around the idea of perfection.

Have a listen and feel free to head over to Bluegrass Jamalong's Instagram or Facebook and tell us what you think!

Food for Thought #8 - 'Yes, but is it bluegrass?'
June 03, 2022 12:00 - 5 minutes - 3.91 MBHi. We haven't had a Food For Thought episode for a while, but I've had something in my head all week based on a few Facebook posts I saw.

In the episode I play a clip of my interview with Tristan Scroggins where he discusses genre and how he sees it. Here's the full Tristan Scroggins interview if you want to hear it all (or have a liste...
