    David Lee Roth's

    Wonderfull Elegance, can only be described as the most elegant car
    driving, rollin, wif da punches,this is to Qualify.....


    Strummin With The Devil.. let me, if i may tell you all a little story, a story about Southern Fried Rock and Roll and Southern Fried, Dance with the one that brung yah, Bluegrass Music.

    You see once upon a time there was a banjo,.. a banjo that was made by a mountain man, a mountain man from Europe a Immigrant to America a 1500s bad ass rough range riding cowboy who loved the
    music he left at home in the old country.

    So he carved this piece of wood and layed some skin on it probably wild mountain goat skin, cat gut for strings, cause he knew things you and i will never know, and he played to his hearts content and nobody could hear him, a few local natives and the countrty he rolled over.

    This string sounded till the early 1900s and the brother man grabbed it by the soul and produced the Jazz the Blues and the man with the Banjo was heard in the distance you can hear him in it, and now.

    So the moral of the, stary night, is to date, the music and the ones that brung it, can still be heard from the simple laying down of the 3/4 time to the heavy loud sounds 1940's Swing and the 1960's Rok and if you can't see what Dave sees and if you can't find the elegance in the music if you can't
    find that Banjo 1700's filling away in the background if you can't
    find a way to enjoy Strummin With The Devil.

    I feel sorry for you, because it may have been you or one of your people who layed that skin down and made this Elegance flow forth.

    To the Elegance of Dave i Will give Props and to the wonder of
    his Vision I will state a fact Southern fried is Rock and Dave has made
    the Roots the most important part of this Tree of Music.
    Changes in time, Changes in structure, The Elegace Remains and flows
    toward new and very very important musical Elegance.

    To Dave and the ones that brung us, Thanks,

    I don't think it was Dave or "the wonder of his vision"...

      DAVE could have said "NO" to the BLUEGRASS idea ... not allowed the release ... yes?! He also helped feed the fire by singing on the disc! He wrote the songs ... I would have to call DAVE the Chief Chef of the STRUMMIN' dish!

        Welp, unless you believe Ron Hubbard, the Spaniards were the first ones over here. The British ran them off before things got dicey, and were the first to usher in the advent of poorly-crafted string instruments. The Spaniards had elegant guitars, but they REALLY got their asses kicked by the Brits. As a matter of fact, there's a historic area where I grew up called "Bloody Marsh." There were Spanish settlements all along the southeastern coast of the "new world." The British systematically made them haulfuckingass from all of them. They (Spaniards) didn't leave any guitars.

        Some would argue that the early wave of SLAVES fashioned their banjo-like instruments after the celtic-type instruments some of the really poor red-coated boatmates had.

        *all apologies WayneL*

        Irregardless of the banjo's true origin, Bluegrass is an amalgamation. Celtic tribes wandering around, captive tribes floating around, weird tribes hiding in Appalachia from the get-go.

        IMO, early Folk traditionals' turned into Bluegrass, and Jimmie Rodgers was a hobo punk rocker.

        Dave's probably got his own version of all this....my guess is it would include Vaudeville ripping off the old Minstrel deal.
        :D

          nope. far as i know, you're allowed to do covers without asking permission. some bands do ask, just to be nice, but why say no? the composers get royalties...
          Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
