Well I guess I'll pull the old rb-250 out and see what I can pickup from Tony. It should be great 12strings out already!

I remember seeing Christian Marclay dj a turntabilist xmas set at the New Museum in 2002, and he had his records in bins for the public to peruse. While there, he messed around and, then let play (w/ another unremembered record) something from one of John Fahey's Xmas records. T'was nice...

Irene Trudel:

Hi p-90, Melinda, Kevin, Linda, NGH and Henry! Just setting up for Tony Trischka, who's going to play live.
  9:36pm
Kevin:

Yes p 90 a good sounding 250. I am lucky to own it. Gibson stopped making them for a while. I do not know if they started again Tony T. plays Deering. The banjo is important but the practice is more important. I love my 12 string too not really a bluegrass instrument but then a banjo doesn't have to be either.

All of Side 1? The suspense is killing me...

P-90:

@Kevin: Thanks, I'm a guitar guy only, in the dark on banjos. Curious to hear Tony's Christmas moods on Banjo...
  9:46pm
Kevin:

Last thing before I quit posting and just listen. Tony's an excellent melodic (chromatic) player as you all can here. (signing off)

Dan Hicks, another "loss" we took in 2016. (sigh) At least we have the music, and those who remember, like Ms. Trudel.

Ken From Hyde Park:

A happy Christmas tale: Just got off the phone with Ma. In September, a windstorm blew down several old buildings back on the farm. Today, a bearded gent in a pickup pulled in and dropped off five lovely Christmas decorations hewn from the scrap lumber. Mom raved about how beautiful they look and what a surprise it was. One of my sisters knew of his work and supplied him with the material.

@Ken: Joy! Joy!

Oh Ken! That's really beautiful! I've encountered a few acts of holiday kindness this week. So nice to hear of others.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Yes, Irene. Pretty neat. I wish I had pictures to share. I guess they have rustic country scenes with berries and such for ornamentation. They're each 12 x 18" or so and have hangers fashioned from barbed wire. Rusty wire, I'm sure, for the full cowboy effect.

Your annual Yuletide themed show is as each year is a breath of fresh air, Irene. Supermarkets, shopping malls and commercial stations (if I had my way) should be made to play your show, rant over! Have a great Yuletide, Irene.
