Hartamophone Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Mornin'.So one of the great things about going to see the types of shows most often associated with this little community we belong to is the potential for musical cross-pollination. Multi-band festivals and even co-headlining shows often end up being rated by the caliber of sit-ins that occur. Special guests can end up serving as a type of melted cheese on top of what are often already delicious musical helpings.So today's question of the day is: what's your favourite musical cheese?Mine has to be a well-placed banjo sit-in. While I really dig what can happen when a DJ makes an unlikely guest appearance (such as Logic with the Flecktones at Berkfest a few years ago), I really enjoy the added texture that some banjo can bring to a jam. I'm also a big fan of how versatile the instrument can prove to be when played well (though that's more a testament to individual players than the instrument itself), and how it never seems out of place. To me, everything sounds better with some banjo thrown in, just like everything tastes better with cheese on top.So....?

Hartamophone Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I think that makes sense. I might have called it "gravy", but that doesn't quite do, either. First thing that comes to mind is Ricky from Diesel Dog playing spoons for Madgrass on Saturday night . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottieking Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Donna with The Grateful DeadUhhh, I'm not sure I would put that in the gravy catagory. More like Horseradish. Strong, overpowering and a little off.For me, HORNS. Giant Country Horns. Umphery's New Years with horn. Marsalis with the Dead. HORNS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavetothegroove Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I love it when there's someone playing a Xylophone in a band. The last few times I've seen Moe I just can't get enough of Jim bouncing around on those keys...he looks like he's having so much fun, and it adds excitement for me.

zero Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Does Hall and Oates guesting with The Grateful Dead count because that's pretty much my idea of heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Does Hall and Oates guesting with The Grateful Dead count because that's pretty much my idea of heaven.Only if Phil Collins sits in during "drumz."Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Mushrooms are my cheese! Wait, does that make sense?Okay, but musically, I absolutely love a well executed three or four (or more) part harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
