GUEST,Kaleb what is old-timey music? (95* d) RE: what is old-timey music? 16 Nov 04


I completey agree with what Bee-dubya-ell said about the old-time groove being very meditative. In a really good session where everyone is in the same place rhythmically, you get into a kind of hypnotic state and there's no longer any separation between you and your instrument and the other people and the music. And once you're in that state the number of times you've played through the tune or the length of time you've been playing loses any meaning, you just don't want it to end.   

Here is a clip of the Freight Hoppers in their prime:
