From Helix on 8/22/2013 10:06:25 PM

The first longneck I ever saw was an Ode in 1962, I played in the Minutemen and we had the Ode brochure and the dreams to match.

Then we found a longneck with paddle head in the back of singOUT magazine for $30. Walnut stripe, Maple and Mahogany pieces, a 5- piece mail order neck from

STAMM in Oregon Illinois. I HAVE Their brochure.

I literally always played a longneck, Dickinson and I exchange ours every 40 years. No kidding. She now has a Maple Helix in da house.

I fell over the fence after knee surgery in 2004, couldn't stop playing bluegrass.

I play often and frequently, many gigs, New Phoenix Strugglers and such.

I encourage others to play a lot so as to keep things from going dark as I begin to fail.

Until then let's crank the wattage a little.

helix league is small case letters, confidence, no need to shout, it's in the banjo, all you have to do is remove everything not banjo and there she is.

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 9 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
