<p>Hi Genford,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for starting this discussion on bones resources.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Drops video you mention is the latest "how to play the bones" video I came across on YouTube, and #14 on the playlist. The complete playlist runs a little over an hour, which offers a nice comprehensive collection of freebie info. I'm sure you will enjoy viewing them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you again for starting this discussion. Always on the lookout for new "how to play the bones" videos…</p>

<p>Actually, Carl and Kyle do appear in that video. It's just that the best looking performer got top billing.</p>

<p>Yes, Carl does have a knack for selecting and wearing period clothes.</p>
<p>And appearing with Carl in a living history setting is more than just playing period music - it's like entering a time warp.</p>

<p>Al, thank you for the kind words. Actually, all that is on my brain during a performance is the music and how to make the tune sound good. Well, that and channelling the spirits of antebellum era minstrel players. ;-)</p>

<p>If I were putting together that interpretive video, I would have chosen both of you, along with Kyle. Some of us try to dress in 19th C garb but, for some reason can't come close to pulling it off as realistically as you guys. A lot of us look like 21st C people in19th C clothing. You guys possess some elusive knack.....or maybe it's not elusive but we merely don't perceive what we're missing. Maybe....a workshop would help?</p>

<p>Funny you should mention that, Al. Scott is a musicain first, and a reenactor when necessary. He was spotted playing bones in period garb a few years ago at the Wilson's Creek NHS, and was chosen to play a major role in the new interpretive battlefield video at the Visitor's Center. Some guys have all the luck ;^}</p>
