My trip to USA in june!

Frode Bjoernstad · Post by **Frode Bjoernstad** » 3 Apr 2006 5:10 am

Hi !

I am planning a trip to the States this summer. I'll be travelling with my girlfriend , and we are starting off in Nashville Sunday june 18, and stay there to see the Old Crow Medicine Show at the Ryman on thursday 22., and then head towards NYC on Friday.. We are in no hurry to get to there untill around Wed. 28.june, so We will have about 5-6 nights driving north.. What route would be the best? We are thinking about the North Carolina and Virgina route… I'll be taking some psg and banjo lessons in Nashville and in NYC, and hopefully some on the road as well… Please send me a note or reply to this thread if you live somewhere up these roads, and recommend a visit! I guess We'll get to do enough big city stuff in Nashville and New York, so in between it's all about mountains and small towns! Maybe even some festivals (country/bluegrass?) on our way!

Apericiate all tips and advices on places to see and visit, and also what roads to choose.

The what? "The old crow medicine show"?

Uh-oh!

I think you just blew your dinner with Porter Wagoner, Bill Anderson, and Little Jimmy Dickens.

Frode Bjoernstad · Post by **Frode Bjoernstad** » 3 Apr 2006 10:28 pm

He-he..

The Old Crow medicine show is a very cool bluegrass band, and are part of the "bluegrass at the Ryman" concert series this summer!

Thanks for replying Larry and Howard!

Hey Smiley
I have just talked to Arne Benoni today - I send him some MP3 files yesterday with my pedalsteel playing - he told me that his house was burned down the 10 of january this year and they lost everything except what was in the basement. The house are being built up again those days, as far as I know the most houses in Norway are made of wood. I can give him your greetings if you want me to do that.

My 7 weeks in the U.S.A.: 4 weeks in Nashville, 2 weeks in St. Louis, and 1 week in Branson

2005

by Henning Kock, Denmark, Europe
.
1. week report from Nashville:
.
Hello back home.
.
Temperature here in Nashville is a nice 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Two days ago 100 degrees.
I already have done a lot of steel guitar activities:
.
Monday August 1) Arrived in Atlanta, Georgia. The flight was from Frankfurt, Germany with Lufthansa on the Airbus, which has room for 261 passengers. At the airport my rented car Chevrolet Classic with automatic transmission (gear) was waiting.
.
Tuesday August 2) Visited Fran Newman in Watertown between Knoxville and Nashville.
She continues to sell Jeff Newmans instruction materials. Now on CD and DVD. She will move to North Carolina to be close to her children soon, and continue the business from there.
Wednesday August 3) Drove to Nashville in the Chevy. Stayed the first week in Nashville in Best Western Downtown Convention Centre in Nashville. $85 per night. Nashville is still famous for all
kinds of activites relating to country music and music in general: recording studios, radio- and TV-studios, talent booking managers, musicians, singers, country music clubs for listening and
dancing, record stores and tourism in general.
I read my e-mail every morning at the Nashville Public Library on Church Street downtown Nashville. One hour of computer work was free every day. They have about 100 public computers plus 200 for intern library use ! I took a walk on Broadway every afternoon and evening listening to country music and pedal steel guitar in the clubs. “Legends Corner” and “The Stage” usually had pedal steel players in the band.
.
Thursday August 4) Visited Bobbe Seymours shop Steel Guitar Nashville. Just drive 15 miles north of Gallatin Road to Hendersonville.
.
Friday August 5) Did shopping for western shirts and pants at Rivergate Mall (10 miles north of Gallatin Road) and on Broadway. The leading shops being the Trail West shops.
.
Saturday August 6) Heard a great band on “The Stage” on Broadway Saturday night with Mike Sweeney on pedal steel. Signed up with Mike to have pedal steel lessons next 3 weeks. Saw a show on TV with Charlie McCoy, and The Grand Ole Opry, with Steve Wariner and Lloyd Green on pedal steel.
.
Sunday August 7) Started calling musicians by phone regarding taking lessons on pedal steel guitar, lap steel guitar and piano. I had already sent letters to some of them weeks in advance. The lessons should be on a one-to-one basis, and I would record the lessons on my new Sony Minidisc. I had previously been taking lessons in Nashville (in 1971, 1982, 1985, 1992 and 1996) but that was in the old days, where I taped my lessons on a cassette tape recorder.
As usual it was a puzzle to set my lesson schedule up, since the musicians are busy working in recording studios, TV-studios, clubs, concerts and tours on the road.
In the afternoon: Visited Country Music Hall of Fame (which has moved a few blocks since I was there the last time) and The Ryman Auditorium = the original Grand Ole Opry.
.
Monday August

Took pedal steel guitar lessons from Russ Hicks out in the woods west of Nashville. Russ was also preparing to do some concerts with Connie Smith soon.
In the afternoon I took lessons on “The Nashville Number System” from Charlie McCoy (Mouth Harmonica Player) out in the Belle Meade area west of Nashville. Charlie was one of the inventors of The Nashville Number System. He has also played harmonica on records and in concerts with
everybody. On his wall hangs a photo of Elvis and his band, and Charlie was in that band.
In the evening I went to the “Station Inn” on 12th Avenue south, and heard the “Time Jumpers Western Swing Band” (10 players) with John Hughey on pedal steel guitar. Talked to Doug Jernigan there, and signed up for pedal steel lessons from him next week.
.
This was first week in N-ville. Just moved to Midway Motel, 741 Murfreesboro Road. $170 per week. More news to follow next 6 weeks.
.
2. week report from Nashville:
.
I like Nashville. (Who wouldn’t) It is my 6th time here. (1971, 1982, 1985, 1992, 1996, 2005)Wednesday August 10) Pedal steel guitar lessons from Mike Sweeney in Millersville.
.
Thursday August 11) I visited with Lloyd Green ! I was allowed last year to buy Lloyds own personal Rosewood Mica JCH built by Jimmie Crawford, which he owned and played from 1988 to 2002. From 2003 and forward he plays his old Sho-Buds again. He still does not lower the E 4th string, and he still has a .022 wound string for his G sharp 6th string. Lloyd plays so unique and
so tasteful. He is constantly experimenting with melody phrases, what string combinations, what pedals or bar slants, what slides, and whether a lick is best played on a plain or a wound string.
Also, if a knee lever movement or a forward or reverse bar slant will give the most unified, seamless playing. He also works with the fact, that all licks can be played at 4 or 5 different positions on the pedal steel guitar, but still, licks should be wound together to melody lines - not just licks, he emphasizes. When he composes, he go through many different ways to play a
melody line so it is musical, and still is expressing what he want it to express - and transmit his feelings to the listener. One of Lloyds trade marks is also, that he plays string 5 and 8 together a lot. String 5 being a plain string, and string 8 being a wound string. I told Lloyd, that to me it is like a lady and a man singing in a musical. String 5 sounds like the lady singing, and string 8 sounds like the man singing. “You are right”, Lloyd said, “That is an interesting observation”.
NEWS ! NEWS ! NEWS ! There is finally a long due appreciation web site for Lloyd on the Internet at the address www.lloydgreentribute.com. It is made by Walter Stettner of Austria.
Walther will go to the Steel Guitar Convention in St. Louis in a few weeks. Walter is doing a fine job with this web site.
.
In the evening I heard piano player Beegie Adair with her trio at the F. Scott Jazz Club, which is situated in the university area.
.
Saturday August 13) Went out to the Grand Ole Opry, and saw the first show 6:30 to 9:00 PM. Talked to staff steel player Tommy White.
.
Sunday August 14) Saw a show 1:00 to 5:00 pm at “The Starlight Club” in Gallatin with Charlie McCoy, Russ Hicks and wife singer Laney Hicks. Also with singer Doyle Holly (from Buck Owens former band) with Stu Basore on pedal steel.
.
Monday August 15) Afternoon piano lessons with jazz pianist Beegie Adair at “The Nashville Jazz Workshop”.
.
Tuesday August 16) Visited George L.s factory (strings, cables, pickups etc.)
Visited steel guitar builders Duane Marrs and Jeff Surratt. Duane Marrs was my first pedal steel teacher back in 1971 at The Sho-Bud store on 416 Broadway.
In the afternoon pedal steel guitar lessons with Mike Sweeney.
.
Advice regarding daily life here in N.ville:
Lunch: On Gallatin Road at the Madison Square (there is also one near Midway Motel on Murfreesboro Road) The Piccadilly Cafeteria: Soup, Meat Dish with 2 vegetables, dessert, milk and coffee for under $7.00. Home Town Buffet on Gallatin Road near Rivergate Mall: All you can
eat $7.98. Both places 5 soups, 12 main dishes, 10 desserts, 8 cakes........to choose from.Also Arbys and McDonald have healthy food like salads with green lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beef, chicken and so on. Breakfast near Midway Motel: Waffle House and McDonalds. Small daily things like toothpaste, drinking water, ice cream: the gigantic supermarkets like Kroger or Walgreen.

.
6.. week report from Branson
.

Branson is an entertainment town (sort of an extra Nashville/Las Vegas) with about 97 different music shows (many of these are country music with pedal steel guitar players, and 22 other attractions.

Make sure to post again as your trip draws near. I (and a bunch of others of us) will have schedules nailed down better and we can see who can offer you more to come out and see us. I'll open the bidding with one beer & one margarita.
