Members Freeman Keller Posted September 13, 2015 Members Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks Howard, very nice. I looked around to see if I had recorded Ashokan Farewell to go along with that. Couldn't find it so I guess the ball's in your court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted September 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks, Freeman. I'd never heard of Ashokan Farewell or how it's been used. Thanks for the tip off. PS. I'm sure you've recorded lots of other stuff though so let's hear some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted September 14, 2015 Members Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ashokan Farewell was the theme song to the public broadcasting documentary on the Civil War. A little anecdote - I was fooling around one night with a fiddle playing friend and he said he would teach me "Farewell to Ashokan". It was in some weird fiddle friendly key - Bb maybe - and had a couple of weird chords. My wife was listening to NPR (our public radio station) a few days later and heard the song, bought me the sound track to the documentary. Sometime after that I was taking a lesson from the great fingerstyle player Mark Hansen and I asked him if he knew the song - he taught me a very user friendly version in G which I promise to record for one of the next VOM's. Just so I have something to contribute, how about the old Willie Johnson song "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground". This was included on the cd placed on the Voyager space craft as proof the intelligent life on earth could make music.. Not sure how it was selected and certainly my version is proof of nothing.... http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Freeman_Keller/Dark_Was_the_Night.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tbry Posted September 15, 2015 Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 Since I haven't been recording anything in quite awhile here is something I did that is not one take so I will disqualify myself from the championship of The VOM. I used my Taylor 214 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
