Michael Jackman, Words & Music
США
Добавлен 16 дек 2006
I play guitar, ukulele, lap steel, dobro, mandolin, and sing lead and harmony vocals.
I studied piano, clarinet, guitar, voice, and music composition in New York City, and flute in Louisville. I performed as a guitarist, lead guitarist and vocalist in small venues in and around New York City and kicked around Nashville’s music scene for a while before moving to Louisville, and then moving across the river with my wife and son to New Albany, IN to a small homestead.
I love playing, teaching, and performing. I'm lead guitar in the band Crazy Chester.
I have a master's of fine arts in poetry from Spalding University, an MA from the University of Louisville, and I’m a newly retired creative writing faculty of Indiana University Southeast.

"Big Yellow Taxi" outside on a beautiful day
A lovely day outside with the asters blooming. Made me think of Joni Mitchell and "Big Yellow Taxi."

Channeling Joni. Love the way you slammed the door! Now the tree museum would charge $10.50 just to see 'em.
Probably, LOL
Nice video. Cool guitar. Cool playing and singing. Cool pajamas.
Lovely! Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much, John!
Love this song! Enjoyed your rendition!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic solo and a great song! Thanks so much for sharing your incredible talents.
Thank you so much
Love hearing you play!
Thank you so much, John!!
I play music and I sing that song
I was enjoying it...I wish the video was longer :)
Thanks! Me, too.
MOOI HOOR!😎

I’ve been working on playing double Bass since age 13. No matter what it’s kept me interested in music. I’m 75 now, don’t give up.
For this song: 1) Breedlove 2) Guild 3) Martin. The Breedlove has less bass and is heavier on the mids. The Guild sounds a bit rounder, but the highs are a bit more subdued. The Martin sounds a bit bassier and almost too pleasant for this song. All very nice sounding guitars though.
Thank you. That is very informative. Consensus across my social media is Guild/Breedlove. I was really surprised. I appreciate it so much!
Great song Michael!!
Thanks!
Can you play that guitar motif that Van does a lot? If you know his work you'll know what I'm talking about? It crops up in a lot of the songs, signifying returning to the past, spiritual transcendence, childhood names and places.
I don't know specifically which one you mean...tell me a song and where it is, I'd like to hear it.
@@homesteadmusician There are loads of examples, mostly live but in the studio it does appear all the way through Take Me Back (from Hymns To the Silence) and is the theme of Close Enough For Jazz (from Too Long In Exile), among others. Here's a great performance where he strums the motif as the outro at 4.29: ruclips.net/video/X2oOCN3QEMo/видео.html He plays it on saxophone and sings it, as well, like here (1.26.20): ruclips.net/video/8MJ7zGS129c/видео.html And here you can see the fingering quite well, starting around 2.30 and continuing through the whole "make it real one more time" section: ruclips.net/video/PUHYnsSkaw4/видео.html There are countless examples. He played it all the time through the 80s and 90s, but it never gets old because it's so emotionally charged. I mentioned it because it goes especially well in And The Healing Has Begun - like in this one (starting 6.09): ruclips.net/video/F7K7PgvGraY/видео.html
Great job! Love this song.
Thanks so much!

Awesome
Thank you so much!
Great song Michael! You guys sound great!
Thanks so much!
Email mw or use contact mw on my web site id you want to know when we’ll be playing out. We have a few shows this summer. Www.michael-jackman.com
So excited to see this release! I saw you performing live on my campus during my break by chance and immediately resonated with this song. Somewhere along the way, I started sleep walking through my life and fifty-fifty helped wake me up. It genuinely makes me so happy that I can start listening to song at any moments notice, but I hope to listen to you perform live again one day. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful song. I'm overjoyed to keep listening to your musical journey.
It's wonderful to hear from you! I remember talking to you after the show, and when I put this up I was hoping you would find it! I'm so glad you did! I know the song means a lot to you. I'm going to be uploading a new version with the full Crazy Chester band, probably today or tomorrow. In the meantime, you can listen to the track here, if you you're interested. michaeljackman.bandcamp.com/track/fifty-fifty Really great that you found me! Stay in touch. I'm so excited I wrote a song that's meaningful.
@@homesteadmusician Aah, this is great news! Thank you for your response.
sympa

Amazing!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment, man.
I just stumbled upon this video, and I'm glad I did!!!! You all are awesome!!! I enjoyed the great pickin on the guitar and an awesome job on all the instruments!!! Great job!! Thank you for sharing!!!
thanks so much, Amy. Your comment is so encouraging to us! I'm glad you enjoyed our video.
@Michael Jackman, Singer-Songwriter (and poet too!) please tell me the name of the instrument that the lady is playing on her lap? I know I've seen them, but didn't know what they're called, but it sounds beautiful.
Molly is playing the dulcimer, her specialty. She also plays guitar and ukulele.
@Michael Jackman, Singer-Songwriter (and poet too!) Wow!!!! She is a talented lady. You all be sure to post more videos, I really enjoyed this. It was beautifully done, both vocally and musically.
Hi, Mr. Jackman! Former student Ava here. I hope you’re doing well. I love your videos!
Ava! Wow, it's wonderful to hear from you. Thanks for the like. I am doing well, and I hope you are, too!
I am, thanks! My writing’s going well and so is school@@homesteadmusician
Thanks, that's very helpful. I have a PDF of the banjo parts cap 3 Sawmill - gDGCD key of B tab by David Brooks, but haven't yet found a good way on the guitar. This comes pretty close.
Thanks, Jason! What you're doing sounds really interesting.
Excellent playing, and wonderful guitar! Guild is the best.
Thanks!
This was fun ! - good stuff here I'll sub
Thanks - we sure appreciate your comment.
Enjoyed this cover 👍 good job

Awww, thanks, Sarah
Great cover! Love the guitar playing too!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Nice!
That was great thanks. That Dulcimer caught my eye, thought at first it was a Hawaiian steel guitar, so decided to give it a listen.
