I never understood the business about the square peg not fitting in the round hole. It does, it just doesn't FILL the round hole. That's a different problem. so, Catspaw, you and I seem to have MANY things in common; love of music, of the Civil War, and common interest in Feynman and Dyson! (who I don't think were ever sharing an office; Feynman was at Cornell & Dyson was already at Inst for Advanced Study) this is getting serious. Getting back to original subject of thread and Banjer's comment, it did not spoil as good a movie as Gettysburg to see Longstreet w two different length beards, or to see R.E. Lee looking not at all like his pictures-- I just sat back and enjoyed it. OTOH I think it's a lot more authentic to play Carter Family songs using a thumbpick not a flatpick, to play very uncomplicated autoharp parts, and to Never Never play the II chord even when it sounds like it belongs. (I guess I am practicing my speech for the Carter Family workshop I'm going to give this weekend at Neffa) Am I gonna meet any Mudcatters there?
