Subject: RE: New Member Wlcm: HonkytonkSue From: HonkytonkSue Date: 03 Jan 03 - 09:25 PM Hello and thanks for the warm welcome! Sorry to disappoint you - but I don't play the banjo. Some of my best friends are banjo players however; they usually tell the best banjo jokes. I stole the name Honkytonk Sue from an old comic book series that was published in the '70's - Honkytonk Sue; the Queen of Country Swing. Couldn't resist! If any of you live in the Vancouver BC area, I'm leading a Slow Pitch Jam workshop this coming Monday, Jan. 6th at the ANZA Club, 3 West 8th Ave., from 7:30 to 9:00 pm. Come and join in on the fun! I've been hearing good stuff about the Mudcatters, so look forward to meeting some interesting folkies. Cheers, HonkytonkSue |

Subject: RE: New Member Wlcm: HonkytonkSue From: gnu Date: 05 Jan 03 - 06:51 AM Greetings and welcome from the Right Coast. Hope all is well in Lotus Land. You've probably got some early flowers coming soon. Not us. I'm just in from snow blowing for over an hour (with a 12 hp). A couple of cups of tea and I'll finish the other half of a double driveway. It's not the foot of snow, it's the 50 mph winds. No wonder so many of my cousins moved to your area years ago !! |

Be sure your up on your shots as some of the catfolk here bite and scratch. Beware of GUEST's, some of them work are on John Ashcroft's payroll. And don't walk behind Spaw...

Subject: RE: New Member Wlcm: HonkytonkSue From: HonkytonkSue Date: 08 Jan 03 - 07:19 PM Hi there, I've had some inquiries about the Slow Pitch Jam, so will try to explain. It's a method I developed with my pickin' buddy, Bob Underhill. We are both members of a bluegrass band called Rhythm Roundup, and spend a lot of time teaching beginners. Basically, it's a structured jam where we explain all the little nuances of jamming including such things as: keeping a steady rhythm with a group, learning about beginnings and endings, jam etiquette (e.g. taking turns soloing, playing to support singers, knowing when to join in) choosing material that works well in a jam, playing in many keys using capo and/or Nashville Number system... and lots more. Songs are played SLOW, so everyone can join in regardless of level. Players are organized in groups of instruments, and instrumental breaks are done as a group, so everyone can help each other and the 'safety in numbers' factor makes people feel good about joining in. We have produced two songbooks with play-along cds, which are available at www.rhythmroundup.com/slowpitch. There's also lots more info about the jams. I teach a monthly Slow Pitch Jam at the ANZA Club in Vancouver BC, and also teach at music camps including the BC Bluegrass Workshop every August. Hope that gives you an idea of what we do. By the way, the term Slow Pitch is from baseball - slow enough for everyone to join in. Bye for now, Honkytonk Sue |
