Mark Stewart replied to Stevie Coyle's discussion Fancy-schmancy tab for Teddy Bears' Picnic in the group Students of Stevie Coyle"A neat Carney feel. It would of fit in with Ten in One (which I still listen to on my long drives, day dreaming about thighs of crime). My phrase of the week is now "Wobbly Denouement". It really resonates with me since all my guitar play…"
Mark Stewart replied to Dan Goodemote's discussion The silence is deafening! in the group Acoustic Newb"I'll be honest, I stopped spending a lot of time on these sites becaue of limited time.

Mark Stewart replied to Anton Emery's discussion Fred Kelly Freedom Fingerpicks in the group Fingerstyle players"I've been playing for a couple of years now and have struggled with this issue.

Walt Pilcher replied to Mark Stewart's discussion music theory in the group Acoustic Newb"Mark,
I'm glad you are finding it helpful. I sure did, as I said. I still refer to the workbook from time to time and once in awhile play the DVD again just to see what I might have missed or skipped over too quickly before. It has helped not…"

Thanks for writing. Glad you're enjoying my videos. I have two CDs of Mississippi John Hurt's songs available on CD Baby. Here are the links:
cdbaby.com/cd/lostjim2

I greatly appreciate your interest in my recordings of Daddy John's music. You may want to consider visiting Avalon, Mississippi (Hurt's hometown) on the 4th of July for the annual Mississippi John Hurt Blues Festival. - Lost Jim
