At first I thought "Wait a minute, that's not the original Soundtrack...", then I started listening to the Lyrics... and you also played the Music by yourself? Unbelievable! clapping

...have you got a download-Link for that Song?


Ha! I can email you an .mp3 if you are serious!

Thanks for the tips, Max! I wonder what "Bluegrass" actually means?
Use of banjo and fiddle? Is "bluegrass" the grass on a prairie?

Here is a band from Oklahoma I like. They sure are melancholic, but maybe that fits with Oklahoma.
No country though, but a very individual blend of influences, and a wide range of instruments.
But I guess we better stop talking about music here.



Rick, I'll send you a PM with my mail address - pls send me a copy too, would you?


PS: Rick, with THAT haircut, I doubt they'll have you in No. 46 Sqdn, RFC.
Maybe you would have a chance in the american Civil War? Or in General Custer's last stand?
Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Olham, bluegrass originally is a type of grass that is grown in Kentucky that looks almost blue in the distance. Bill Monroe was a musician that was from Kentucky and he started a group called the Blue Grass Boys in the late 30s. They were so popular that the style of music that they played began to be called Bluegrass music and the name just stuck. Bluegrass music will feature the banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and sometimes the stand up bass. It will include vocals with solo parts for each instrument. Here is a great example of bluegrass from Bill Monroe.

New boy here - not exactly sure how these things work

Can I start now?

Or do I need to wait until Saturday, October 17, 2015 so we all start together?

Until then I may well try and get a little Pup practice in - only have two hours in it so far

Hey Olham,
I don't know if it ever took off in Germany, but we're all just goofing on the Dukes of Hazzard, which was huge in the States in the 80'S


I was too young to watch it initially, but caught up with it over the years. It's popularity endures so much that they recently did a series of car commercials based on it:


maxpeck, just pick your character, paint your scout if you want and get some practice time in, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the Pup!

Thank you Lewis, it's not what I really listen to either, but I do like some Willie, Waylon and Johnny!

Right after that commercial started to air the Confederate flag removal craze started this summer and it went off the air.

Toy companies have removed the flag from the roof of toy General Lee cars for sale;

Thanks, MudWasp. You may have noticed that I made some changes to the paintjob since I did footage for the video. I am nothing if not OCD in my Barmy-ness!

I can see why people would want to remove the confederate flag from government buildings and the like, but to go back and try to erase history seems over the top. Kind of like airbrushing out the Twin Towers from older movies...
