guslYesterday, I was getting depressed, but got uplifted by a very nice bluegrass jam.
We did about 15 songs/tunes, among which:
* Orange Blossom Special (my shuffles need some work)
* a medley of a bunch of stuff, including some Russian tune and Alabama Jubilee
* Man of Constant Sorrow
and some songs that I would like to work on in the future:
* In the Pines
* Faded Love
* Banks of the Ohio
I also noticed that we need a language for stylistic devices. We already have names for kick-offs and endings, e.g. "n potato(es)", "shave and haircut", but I think we need to name other things like the "ragtime pause", and "banjo kick-off towards the end of the song, driving the tempo twice as fast, breaking the expectation of an ending" (best when played slowly the first time, or after a hinting-at-the-end slow-down: "Blue Moon of Kentucky" is a nice tune for this)
