DAMN! Wrong forum.

Mods Please transfer to cantina - sorry:confused:

Or swamp rat:D

Bad bad smack hand :eek:
 
Yes, I have gone several hundred times. I'm going to see Solas and Robinella there tomorrow at six.

I see Andy, Larry and Julie Adams downtown all the time. It's a great show. 12 bucks for 2 and a half hours of music (they edit it for the radio) Going to see Bela Fleck there soon too. www.mountainstage.org. About 45 min from my house.:thumbup:
 
You V lucky HD! We have it on a local independent TV station late at night. Find it good for the soul :thumbup:
 
Son , it sounds like a great show . Right now my cultural uplifts are topped by "Austin city limits" and going to the occasional Celi or Irish music gathering . My puter is blind and deaf and with me at the helm is barely literate . L:O:L
One of these days I,m gonna have a buddy stay with me for a day and boost me up to speed as far as literacy is concerned and to upgade my system in the audio visual department . I hope you enjoy what seems like great times .

Bluegrass & zydeco rings my bell especially when I can watch the performers :cool:

The best bands I've seen on there recently have been Rhonda Vincent(bluegrass) The Bad Plus and Soul Live(jazz soul) The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. I can't wait to see Solas again.

Brent,

If you can get it on the radio down there it's even better. They only record a certain percentage of shows for TV, but normally they actually record a show between one and three times a month.

Thanks to Mt. Stage I have seen acts that I would have had to drive to Columbus, Pittsburg or Baltimore to go see. It's a wonderful thing. Plus there's a bar about a block from the Cultural Center where a lot of the folks go to jam after the show. The Empty Glass on Elizabeth street. Every time I drive past that street I sing that Dylan line "There's a neon light ablaze and a brown smokey haze, and laughter down on Elizabeth street. There's a lonesome bell tone in the Valley of Stone where she bathes in a stream of pure heat" (Charleston is in the Kanawha Valley and the Empty is in the hottest most concrete part of the city so it fits):cool:
 
Know exactly how you feel HD! Those sweet sounds have brought me to tears more than once.
Have my comp hooked up to a pioneer rig with them gold cables.
She has a digital synthesizer that predates the push button sound effects now availiable.
Am going to search for MS mp3's

Never gave it a thought before.. Thanks:D
 
Brent,

Last night's show was amazing. Especially Solas. I've got to get their new album! Some of the reels they were playing had some of the most intense jams I've ever heard them play. Especially memorable were the first tune that kind of pulsed back and forth between Seamus' guitar and Winafred's fiddle. Then they did this instrumental with this dual flute jam as one of the middle tunes and finally they finished with this tune where Deidre their vocalist came out and did this smoking dual fiddle with Winafred and the whole band just totally kicked into overdrive!

Robinella was good but she was hard to hear at points. They didnt have her miked right plus she kind of has that Ricki Lee Jones sort of singing style anyway, but she was good.

Also really excellent was this other celtic singer with a really hot fiddle player who also played the bodrun. She was really good!

I have a lot of Mt. Stage I've recorded on cassette, but somewhere I have 2 discs of some really great performances from Mt. Stage I got as a premium for donating to WV Public Radio. If I can find them I'll burn them and send them to you. Also there is an actual "Best of Mt. Stage CD's" you can probably get from Amazon.

Awesome show last night! Awesome!:thumbup:

I got a funny story about them. So we went to a Mt Stage a few years ago and they were on it. Also Bruce Cockburn who we really like and who is really an underrated performer, fantastic guitarist was on there too and a slew of other people. Well the show wound on and it was LONG and by the time Cockburn brought down the house and Buckwheat Zydeco came on I felt sorry for them cause people had been there for so long I figured everybody was tired. Then they had sound problems and had to wait on stage for like 15 minutes while the tech guys straightened them out.

Finally they played and they literally brought the whole audience to life, out of their seats, clapping yelling like everybody had had a couple expressos' or something. I mean they ROCKED!!! I had never seen an audience come back to life like that!

Oh yea if you like Mt. Stage, and Zydeco check out a band called Donna The Buffalo sometime!:thumbup:
