More often than not, you’ll only do this among friends! When you’re chatting with someone, you might want to (jokingly) make it known that you think what they’re saying is completely stupid. It should look like you’re giving a “thumbs up,” but your thumb is actually in the fist that you make. So rather than telling someone that you’re crossing your fingers for them, you would say “Ich drücke dir die Daumen.” (“I’ll press my thumbs for you.”) This is often accompanied by pressing the thumb into the palm of the hand and wrapping all the other fingers around it. Rather than cross their fingers, the Germans press their thumbs. That’s because they have a completely different hand gesture that they use to wish others luck. But if you try to do this in Germany, people might struggle to understand you (and look at you a little funny).

Despite that, the sign is still very rarely used by native Greeks for its positive meaning (and never for the pejorative). Any perceived pejorative meaning of the past is lost in contemporary use. In practice, most Greeks nowadays recognize the positive connotation of the sign due to international exposure. Axtell's book Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World.

In southern Sardinia, where this gesture is noted for being particularly obscene, a hitchhiker would be well advised not to wave his thumb in the air expecting a car to pick him up, or he may find himself under the wheels of a large truck. ![]() The sign has a similarly pejorative meaning in parts of West Africa, South America, Iran and Sardinia, according to Roger E. In these places, it roughly means "Sit on my phallus" and carries the same stigma as does raising the middle finger in the west.

Like in Alice in Wonderland, those two nights and that tune made me feel like I went through some kind of door into another world. I’d never heard of Art, went to a couple of those shows, recorded them on a little cassette recorder, and was blown away! Someone asked Art to play Caravan, but he said he was too incapacitated and that he’d rather play Ode to Billie Joe-a simpler tune with only three chords to keep track of. One night he told me he was playing in a little club in Monterey with an alto player named Art Pepper, and that I should go hear his playing. He knew and played with everyone in jazz, and was Charlie Parker’s roommate in Kansas City before Parker rose to fame. He’d retired from playing in the CBS Orchestra and moved to Carmel Valley to raise horses. Thanks! In my first bluegrass band, the Coast Ridge Boys (Big Sur, 1974), we had a veteran musician playing bass with us by the name of Buddy (“Burger”) Jones. I love your treatment of Ode to Billie Joe. I got past it by just practicing more, which wasn’t hard because I’ve always enjoyed practicing. I now realize it was just nervousness, which still comes up from time to time, but in a much more manageable form. I had a moment of thinking, maybe there’s some kind of medical issue preventing me from playing.

If so, how did you get past that? ![]() When I turned 50 it was “now or never”…a better way to handle my midlife crisis than others I guess. I’d always had an interest in jazz but only dabbled in it for years. In the old days, we used to slow things down by playing vinyl LPs at 16 instead of 33 rpm, which would also bring things down about an octave. Finding players that excite you can provide a lot of motivation to reverse engineer what you’re hearing, and it helps to have slow down software. Moving forward from there, you have to approach it as learning another language-which requires the same thing that learning bluegrass does-lots of learning of the vocabulary that defines the style. And, if you improvise, you already have something in common with the spirit of jazz. The first step is realizing that if you play bluegrass mandolin, you already have some vocabulary that’s related to early jazz language (trad jazz). How does the average Joe go about moving from bluegrass to jazz? Yes-Greg Reginato guitar, Gerry Kennett drums, Craig Griffeath bass. How about your jazz lineup, is that still active?
