- TullycasterJoined:Meet Strarfield Cookout - Vanrock from the Monteregian Hills, Qc
Hey folks, Hope you all don't mind a hello in the manner of a share of our musical mission, Starfield Cookout. We're a homespun original vanrock band from the Grateful Dead wasteland called the Canadian nord est. Nonetheless, we play a good "Deal" in around Montreal, and YAY, we're getting frighteningly close to releasing our second record which should be doosie. Would love to get your thoughts, and most certainly, (if you like), to help guide us toward venues in your locale. Who knows where this spring, summer tour will take us. You can find the OGs with some prerelease tracks from "Beautiful Friend" (#2 ) on Soundcloud slash tullycaster or live on the Youtube under Starfield Cookout. Thanks for the opp to present our stuff to the very best fans in the world. Cheers and Peace, Bren & Lisa

And not steal it? I got it written in one of my note books. I accidentally took way too much LSD and wrote this or rather recorded it because the ink kept running off the paper into my lap and onto the ground.
If You Find Him
If you find him he will regale to you tales of wonder and far off lands.
There will be no bargains nor demands.
He'll ask not of you a single penny or one thin dime.
Only your company and the suspension of time.When you find him you will know.
He'll be draped from head to his toes.
Arrayed in only the finest of robes.
The span of his existence no one knows.It always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?Your path lies only in his mind.
What strange adventures you will find.
Yes it's true, the path lies only in his mind.
So listen carefully and please be kind.All the tales are from eons long passed.
Long before time itself and the universes crashed.
Painting darkness with swirling color and burst of light.
Slicing through the voids unyielding might.It always has and always will depend on you
Just what will be the choice to do?Trust me it will be all right
There's no need to retreat in fright
Only adventures to you will come
There is no harm that can be doneHe may even offer an invite to watch sunsets while balancing on the edge of Jupiter's ring.
Dance on her dust, listen to the ancients sing.
Alice might be there, mad hatter and the Cheshire too
And of course the caterpillar smoking his hookah, his skin so blue.It always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?His magic powders, tinctures and potions are the key.
If you imbibe, strange places and things you'll see.
Seconds tick by or has it's been hours
While you were busy picking stars as if they were flowers.Now some will say sorrow and pain is all he knows.
Only tales of misery, all the tales of woes.
But you know, that’s not true
Just as the oceans deep and the sky is blue.It always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?All the tales are from eons long passed.
Long before time itself and the universes crashed.
Painting the darkness with swirling colors and light.
Gazing upon the patterns, minds melt at the very sight.And when its time for him to pack his wares and go
Be so sure you'll never be the same, oh the magical things you'll know
Every time you think of him you hear the universe hum
Along with the beating of a distant drumIt always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?Now gather round while I regale to you tales of wonder and far off lands.
There will be no bargains nor demands.
I'll ask not of you a single penny or one thin dime.
Only your company and the suspension of time.For you see, I became him as he did me
Is that really so hard for you to see
My magic powders, tinctures and potions are the key
If you imbibe, strange places and things you'll see.It always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?All I ask of you, come dance among the galaxies and explore the universe with me
Oh what strange places and things we'll see
Just you and me perched upon a pointy star
Its really not that close but I promise it's not too farIt always has and always will depend on you.
Just what will be the choice to do?Jeff Matthews AKA the Fog, The Other One, Mouse

603-401-5260 - CassidyB02Joined:This is a little different…
This is a little different than what's usually put here, but I'm looking for bluegrass musicians or people knowledgeable about bluegrass who would be willing to do a quick interview via zoom. I'm a student working on a project talking specifically about the banjo but also about bluegrass music generally, and as part of it I'm conducting a bunch of interviews with musicians, instrument builders, professors, and music lovers. The end product is gonna be a multimedia thing that will include some video stuff, some written stuff, some photography stuff, and maybe some other stuff who knows. If you'd be interested in doing an interview, know someone who would be interested, or have anything else you wanna tell/ask me about please feel free to PM me or comment on this
