To be able to play these songs with enthusiasm and some freshness is an easy task for us. What is historically important in our band is currently important onstage, if that makes any sense. I think what’s behind us is in front of us every night. We’ve just kind of done what was in front of us, and we continue to do that. May was the official milestone month.ĭo you find that being the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band these days is a balancing act between keeping up with the times and honoring the tradition of the past? It’s a stop on the band’s 50th-anniversary tour, which kicked off last year. The band, which also includes longtime members John McEuen and Bob Carpenter, will be hard-pressed to fit them all in during a sold-out show Friday night at the Meyer Theatre.
Bojangles,” “Dance Little Jean,” “Cadillac Ranch,” “Long Hard Road,” “An American Dream,” and, of course, 1972’s “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” the seminal album that defined the group’s blend of country, rock and bluegrass. It’s but one iconic song in a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band catalog that’s filled with them. All those family outings and maybe sneaking away and getting away from the family.” I think about everybody going to the lake in the summer. “I guess a lot of people have that kind of destination in mind in that state. “It’s the fishing thing and the outdoor thing together,” Fadden said.
Fadden, who along with singer and guitarist Jeff Hanna, are the original members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for 50 years and counting, witnesses the love every time the band breaks out the song in the state. The band’s 1987 hit plays especially big in Wisconsin, where all that talk about the lazy yellow moon, counting the stars and waiting all winter for the time to be right never fails to spark a feel-good sing-along at whatever summer festival, bar gig or church picnic it gets played at. “I think Wisconsin really, they’re on it. “Oh yeah, it is,” said drummer Jimmie Fadden.
FISHIN IN THE DARK HOW TO
Once you recognize the factors and choose on when and how to approach the water will become much simpler and more predictable as in this case with the moon and wind direction.The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Fishin’ in the Dark” doesn’t just seem like it could be Wisconsin’s unofficial anthem. Depending on the conditions, your day may be filled with “I caught one this big” or “nothing was biting today”. The weather plays a huge role on how your fishing trip will turn out. This is when the “honey-do” list gets done at the house. For whatever reason, when the wind is blowing from the east, nothing seems to be biting regardless of what I do. I have found that the wind from the east seems to be the worst of all 4 directions.
The winds from the north and south are not too terrible unless they bring with them a type of front that would stall conditions. In the current area that I live now, I have found that the west wind is most common and seems to be the most prevailing.
Depending on the time of year, a certain type of wind is better than that of another which I’ll cover in more detail in a later blog. But what about the direction the wind blows?Ī peron wouldn’t think wind direction could effect fish behavior but from my experiences it has. A lot of fishermen notice whether the water is so calm it looks like glass or so rough there is white caps.
