<p>At Savannah Landing, we steamboaters were treated to a CW melody played by Wayne Jerrolds on his fiddolin. (The instrument he invented, or at least patented, is a fiddle on the top and a mandolin on the other side. Pretty funky, but I digress.) He owns the land where we embarked on the paddlewheeler to Pittsburg Landing for the Shiloh reenactment. For allowing us to use his land overnight, he was presented with a swell, officer's Hardee hat with all the trimmings. In thanks, he played…</p>

He was really good, but his choice of songs was a real doggy downer. </p> Hey Carl, Yeah I think I'll…tag:minstrelbanjo.ning.com,2012-04-09:2477478:Comment:658562012-04-09T22:42:22.904ZMatthew Mickletzhttp://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/profile/MatthewMickletz
<p>Hey Carl, Yeah I think I'll try as hard as I can to make it to Antietem, sounds way to cool to miss! I'd love to learn from you guys. </p>

<p>Just a reminder, Matthew, I think you would really, really dig what we do at Antietam. See if you can possibly join us!!</p>

<p>Oh how many times I've bummed out a fellow reenactor by breaking the news that "Ashokan Farewell" ISN'T a period piece, beautiful as it may be. </p>

<p>Preach/rant away! I could write a page on my thoughts on society today and communication via music and media. My wife and I are 30, but still rant about it weekly! haha Tough not to with a 6 month old who has a world ahead of him! </p>

<p>Silence, for some reason, seems feared nowadays. And when the air must be filled, it's not always thought through well enough before being blasted over a soundsystem. I cringed when I see people driving with earbuds in. However, amny times…</p>

<p>Silence, for some reason, seems feared nowadays. And when the air must be filled, it's not always thought through well enough before being blasted over a soundsystem. I cringed when I see people driving with earbuds in. However, amny times musak is chosen to be loud, fast and attention getting. Sadly, I think that sort of thing can roll into museums and histort-based TV and movies. </p>

<p>Indeed, of all the palces to "get-it-right" museum SHOULD BE it. We rarely have musak in exhibitions at the museum I work at. I'll walk through exhibtions and think many times how well-researched musak would fit in perfectly, and more importantly help complete or make the exhibtion well-rounded. </p>

<p>Synthesizers and pennywhistles, or sythesized pennywhistles. Like Charlie Brown said, "AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!"</p>
