GUEST,Howard in Florida Tune Req: Instrumental Bluegrass - minor modes? (10) RE: Tune Req: Instrumental Bluegrass - minor modes? 26 Feb 02

'Hootz:

thanks. No, I've not heard of the Freighthoppers. Are they still around? Wait a sec... I'm checking on the web... hey, looks like they are pretty young from this picture: www.geocities.com/Nashville/6245/oibf98/freight.html

So it is probably not them I heard.

It was more a bluegrass kind of feel; a 4/4 or 2/4 beat, harmony motion not much more complex than 6-2-5-1 over the course of 12 to 24 bar phrases ... but the melodies were complicated and often countrapuntal ...

any other ideas??

thanks again!

- Howard
