OK, I looked up Billy Strings. I'm lost. His real dad died from a heroin overdose and his step-dad is a musician. Where does this pipe maker come in, or are we talking about somebody else? Chris Thile's dad is the pipemaker. Scott Thile. OK, I didn't watch the last video, sorry. I never saw Scott Thile mentioned. Thanks. |

Chris Thile's dad is the pipemaker. Scott Thile. Yes--the mandolin player, Chris Thile. See, here I was thinking that Billy Strings was the mandolin player. |

johnlawitzke has one of his father's pipes. (Scott Thile) He posted it in today's WAYS thread. Ted, your wife has an excellent taste in music.  I have three of Scott's pipes. I highly recommend his work. Scott is also a great person and I love our conversations in the smoking areas at shows. Scott makes a Christmas pipe for each of his three sons every year. When Chris first replaced Garrison, it continued with the name Prairie Home Companion for a while. Also, Garrison did not retire. |

I should add that Scott Thile is also the founder of Pipedia.org

I suppose I should have put quotation marks around the word "retired." It was intended as a euphemism. |

It was a Saturday night tradition for my son and I (when he was in high school) to cook dinner together, eat, clean the kitchen, and sit on the back deck and finish off the bottle of wine together while listening to "A Prairie Home Companion." We craved the "News from Lake Wobegone" and would sing along with the Powdermilk Biscuit "commercials." And the show that followed this was "The Thistle & Shamrock" hosted by Fionna Ritchie which featured Celtic music and other good stuff. If anyone is interested in something as ancient and arcane as listening to the radio, the Prairie Home radio shows are available online. There is even a search function if you are looking for a particular artist. www.prairiehome.org/index.html |

Whole lotta country shuffles, like this one:
I just love the dialectic of the hurtin' lyrics and the good-time party, boot-scootin' beat.

JimK I listened to your music months ago at your website, and when I decided to find you again recently (thinking your name was "John") I had no luck. I looked at every "John" in the "Members" list here. Needless to say, you were not there. Anyway--I remember the Madeleine Bay tunes--and loved them all. This one is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful!

I'll see that and raise you. Seriously, to me, that doesn't sound like Steely Dan

A Scottish air first published in the mid 18th century, but is probably much older than that. It is also known as "The House of Glamis." (Lots of Irish and Scottish tunes have several titles.)
Roslin Chapel is featured in the final scenes of "The Da Vinci Code" and is on the grounds near Roslin Castle. (Sometimes spelled "Roslyn").
The castle is supposedly haunted, but I suspect most all centuries-old castles have a ghost or two.

Countdown To Ecstasy is 1973 Ron new and edgy stuff. Not even sure what the kazoo stuff is maybe disco or your path to be a Swifty now makes sense.

My absolute favorite song in the world. To be in the auditorium with a few thousand people singing this together, something happens that has to be experienced, it can't be explained.

Late 17th century tune composed by the blind harpist, Turlough O'Carolan (Ireland's national composer). It is supposed to be about a fairy war (the "si" in the title is Gaelic for "fairy hill.") The other title is a well-known Scottish tune of much later vintage.

Still smoking me pipe poolside, after the military contractors left, I put this on, some young African Americans were sitting nearby. They wanted to know what I was listening to they really enjoyed it.
Went through this with my daughter when she “discovered” the Beatles…😉
Fun to help with “discovery” on real music compared to modern fare.
