J. D. Woods replied to Dave G's discussion What the? in the group Martin Owners"Good Lord!!!
It's downright sacrilegious to electrify an acoustic Martin like that!! "
J. D. Woods commented on Will Becker's group 6-String Banjo Group"Paul,
Yeah, I wondered about that. Banjo bridges don't have a very large footprint as it is. That may be why they make them with a wood base. I'm not very banjo-tech savvy, what kind of wood is usually used? About all of them I've…"
J. D. Woods commented on Will Becker's group 6-String Banjo Group"Hey guys,
Just happened to be cruising the site and read the posts on banjo bridges. Some years ago, a 4-string banjo buddy of mine who has played professionally for a long time, told me about a banjo bridge that was half-hardwood/ half-bone. The…"
Blues Agent replied to J. D. Woods's discussion I've waited 45 years for this! in the group Old Folkies"I remember the late fifties, early sixties “folk revival” as a humongous piece of the musical pie. That, along with the “Hootenanny” craze, took scores of artists out of the coffee house and into the larger venues. Joan Baez,…"
Luis Motta da Silva replied to J. D. Woods's discussion I've waited 45 years for this! in the group Old Folkies"Hi, guys,
Just for the record: I guess my interest/love for "old folkies" may have a lot in common, and also must be very different from yours...
By '62 I was learning my first English words (in Portuguese high schools, we first…"
J. D. Woods replied to J. D. Woods's discussion I've waited 45 years for this! in the group Old Folkies"Hey guys,
Thanks for all your responses! Will take everybody in turn...
Lon, I dialed up your youtube. Fantastic! Writing was one thing I was never good at. I'm really more of an arranger/entertainer/collector.…"
Edward Sparks replied to J. D. Woods's discussion I've waited 45 years for this! in the group Old Folkies"Welcome JD!!! Sounds great...please post some more info and pics of your 000, we'd love to see it! I was born in 1955 but always had a love for the music you listed. When in high school while everyone was into hard rock, I was listening…"

I've waited 45 years for this!
O my gosh!! Even though I'd grown up on traditional folk tunes, my acute awareness of music didn't come of age until 1962. I was eleven years old by then, but could absolutely NOT get enough of P,P&M, Kingston Trio, Weavers, Highwaymen, Terry G & the Easy Riders, Joe and Eddie, Brothers Four, Smothers Brothers, Limelighters, and the jangly, happy sound of the New Christy Minstrels.In more recent years, I've collected some Woody Guthrie, several Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Leadbelly, even a…See More

J. D. Woods replied to Jud Hair's discussion Medium gauge strings ... anybody here prefer them? in the group Martin Owners"I've played what's called mediums or bluegrass gauge, phosphor bronze (0.13's) for years. Lately, I've been experiencing some stabbing pain in my fingers after playing for about 90 minutes. Thinking about moving to…"
J. D. Woods replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Children's Songs in the group Lyrics Analyses - What did they mean?"Hey guys, that's really neat. I've played that song since the early 70's and always wondered what it meant. This past year I found an explanation about its origin on Wikipedia. I assume it's somewhere near the…"

A place for folks to discuss lyrics, to analyze what they might have meant, and the people and events surrounding them.
J. D. Woods commented on Will Becker's group 6-String Banjo Group"Will,
Thanks for starting this. Ever since I started playing folk music as part of my income back in the late seventies, I've used a 6-string banjo. Back then, your choices were pretty limited. I decided to make one out of…"
