Ditto for the First Nations moccasin drag.
Personal favorite.

FNMD, classic!! I'd also swap Red Wing for J-Ridge on that list.

Sounds fun, bertrand, but I'll be climbing up this-a-way in late July.

let's talk about puff the magic dragon--is that song about marijuana or isn't it?

Amazing how many of that list are/were Irish tunes too.
So Perry are you hosting a jam anytime soon in Squamish? Hordes of Yanks come up every summer. There's got to be the odd one who will have both an instrument, enough tips left at day's end to play, and a few tunes under their belt. And a few of us from Vancouver play as well.

I have never heard of anyone except one writer for Newsweek ca. 1966
who thought that song was about marijuana.
The newsweek guy went all out, though, no left turn unstoned, so to speak.
Puff (get it?) the magic dragon (drag-on, get it?) lived by the Sea (code
for C, that is, Cocaine, get it?) and frolicked in the Autumn mist in a
land called Honalee (the uber well-known code word for the state of heroin
intoxication)
And Little Jacky Paper is obviously code for the ZigZag Man...
I have no doubt that the songwriter didn't know the song was about drugs
until he read it.

eastside hoedown? i know someone in bishop i can harmonize with, but it'll probably amount to another square peg. can you sound like a hillbilly on "over the hill to the poorhouse"?
"paper" is what clinched it for me. never heard of anyone named paper. and hadn't heard that about honalee.

haha--the flower child who'd sit by the ocean in complete communion with nature, sharing the good things with the wildlife, throwing tidbits to the seagulls laced in LSD ...
... leaving no tern unstoned.

Favorite tune? Not!
Mighty, we're going to have to sort this one out off line.
Glad to hear there's hardcore bluegrassers out there on the Forum.
Chris, I'm always picking and up for a jam.
If there's climber/pickers hanging in Squamish looking for a jam, give a call. Hell, we can get one going at Psyche Ledge or the Chief campground (not my front yard, the other one).
For the record, this is one of my favorites.

Holy sh*t the man can play. Every time I listen to something like this, I realise that, in the grand school of music, I am still in not even kindergarten but pre-school.
Now if anybody wants to see that level of amazingness on mandolin, check out Jim Richter playing Munroe's "Tanyards."

bump for bluegrass.
Just picked with some fine musicians and singers from the US NW at the Chief campground.
Very nice.

Perry-- glad you met the folks. Think Thurs eve would be a go? I'm climbing Fri so would come up thurs night if there were music to be had...those Yanks have no phone so no way to get ahold of 'em.
anybody else reading this, the folks camped at Psyche Ledge in site #33 are pretty good. Upright bass (dunno how he fit it in his car), two singing guitarists and a very fine fiddler/mando. If you got chops, go see 'em; they are psyched to play and they're GOOD!

Maybe they should do a Canada Day concert on Thursday.
Where do they perform at Squamish, and when? The campground looked fairly full this weekend, so it must be a challenge.

Tinker, thanks for throwing that bone to us non-Canadians! I love seeing music at the Mobil station. And I was worried the only Musicians in Yosemite were the Yos Marching Band.
