TOPIC: Tommy takes on 9 Pound Hammer

I think we could learn this. What do you all think?

yeah, if we practiced for 20 years or so...Loved watching him...thanks ebird!

Cool playing on the video! However, I think a combination of Jim Bennett, Sam White and Henry (on fiddle) with a little practice could come up with a reasonable jazzed-up(bluesy) version of 9 Pound hammer. Ie, it's not far beyond the capabilities of many of the class members.

thanks for the youtube link - I had never heard 'hammer' before joining the bluegrass group and after watching this video i decided to look for another song what was new to me - 'cabbage' and found this rendition by... well I think y'all will recognize some of the faces!

Jayboca, quite a few of us were new to Bluegrass when we joined the class!!! I remember when Fretmentor asked me if I liked "Bluegrass" and I thought he was referring to the color of my lawn.... On another note.....and I'm dating myself....I watched that episode of Andy G. live!!!! Didn't realize, being so young at the time that it was a "Bluegrass Tune"

Gilligan!!!OR if you're really old like me, Maynard G Krebs...

Great video. Thanks!
