4/14 I'm on the delayed listening - which I really appreciate!! Loved When the Roll is Called Up Yonder. I know you'll never switch over to the southern gospel genre, but I sure enjoyed that one!!
Thank you for being such a great entertainer! The beautiful music and interesting quips combine to make for a truly enjoyable concert. I appreciate your time, energy, and talent.
Sight reading (go practice) there is no other way u intuitively see recognize the patterns and your fingers just go there. What facinates me about Adam is how easily he recalls his memory 'genre' I suspect it is an ear thing if he loves the tune he can just store it. I bet he memorizes it that early. I had a friend who travelled as a country fiddler UK and Europe. He came across players who played entirely by ear and could repeat any unknown tune on one listen. I think it is Adams main gift/skill in this case its tied to his love of the music. In all cases I so enjoy listening to Adam especially the frilly stuff he loves to throw in his trade mark for sure.
