JazzMando.Com |
Ted Eschliman has created a
wonderful mandolin site, oriented to the more sophisticated jazz
mandolinist (distinguished from the more "down home" bluegrass folks.). It's
beautiful to look at, has lots of cool pix and info about pretty mandos,
and it's full of exercises, theory pieces and other good things.
Pay a visit!!

Richie Havens' Guitar
Method |
Richie
Havens has for more than 40 years performed remarkable folk music. His
guitar style is as unusual as you'll ever see. On this page of his
official site, much of the mystery is revealed.

Some Other Links |
I've
been trying to figure out a way to list "miscellaneous" sites which
don't fit well into the other pages on this site. This is the best
I could do. It'll be getting some new links for a while, as I try
to build its content.

For
Steve Goodman
Chicago Shorty
would write you a song,
Then he'd play the damned thing all night long,
Make you coffee, fry you an egg,
Tickle your funnybone, pull your leg,
Talk your head off, laugh at your jokes,
Kiss your sister and charm your folks,
Lend you his house, lend you his car,
Give you the strings from his last guitar.
Stevie'd let you name the place,
Meet your plane and carry your case.
Chicago Shorty loved his life,
Loved his children, loved his wife.
He was a joy for me to know,
And I miss the little bastard so.
