if you are unsure whether you need to understand why, then "why not" is a perfectly nice answer. until you can wrap your mind around the "why" part, I'd stick with "why not". Just turn the question around and it's all so much easier and more fun too. and that may be the answer to "why", I mean why not?

Ricky Skaggs, Bruce Hornsby, & Jiohn Anderson doing a quasi-bluegrass version of "Super Freak" is an automatic "why not?". A reflexive "why not", even. So that's easy.

Too easy, in fact, and that's where the "why" comes in. And that, my friend, is anything but easy.

The big mysteries are easy. The bigger ones, like this, are anything but.

And the biggest ones, like George Harrison asking, "How do you explain Gene Pitney?" are all but unfathomable!

I don't know those people and can't say I like that kind of stuff but they seemed a) to be playing it very competently, b) enjoying themselves, c) pleasing the audience and d) a bit too old (but perhaps they've been playing this kind of stuff since the eighties).

For my taste, give me Rick James' version - oh, I've already got it. So one of us is happy.

before you start inventing saying and write them on the wall, where does "I guess" come into all of this??

I had to look up coniptiulated and still don't know what it means, but hey, I guess I can only respect your bowels and your soul

(pending the dictionary entry on coniptiulated you may need to ad "only so much" to that)

Ricky looks like he's put on a couple of pounds.

Anyhow, he is one fine bluegrass musician, plays mandolin, banjo, 'bout all of the instruments. [Drums is pretty rare in bluegrass.]

I'm considering sitting in on some bluegrass when/if I move to western NC.

Did anyone else notice that Ricky Skaggs is becoming a dead-ringer for the world renowned Bud Young of Bud's Jazz Records in Seattle?

It's the state you're in which causes you to have a conniption.

Sorry, I misspelled it, but then again, when you make up a word, who's to say waht's misspelled & what's not, eh?

A Sangreyism, in other words! :cool:
