Just one more video from our Saturday road trip. I love singing this song… it’s my therapy song! (gg) Just kidding… but it is a fun song to dig into. And this was fun how Jeff got a little sidetracked and thought we wrote this one. We didn’t. I wish we had though… because the 12 time grammy winning bluegrass band Union Station with Alison Krauss had this on a huge album and we would have been rich!

You were all over this one! You have a beautiful singing voice and the banjo really seemed to stand out on this one too. It was almost like a solo at times. It would be nice if you could record yourself practicing one day so we could really hear the banjo alone, sort of like the video’s you put up during the Cold Antler fiddle challenge. Just a thought, no pressure.
Thanks… I sure love playing in the band with the men. (I try to remember not to call them boys, cuz they are not… hahaha) I’ll have to try and get a little solo banjo video for you all. Part of the reason that video stands out a bit is because the sound set up was rough. For some reason they only had vocal mics.. if you look at the video you will see that the only instruments with mics at the proper levels are on either side. And the fiddle only got the mic if I wasn’t singing. The middle mics were all for vocals. That’s rough on an acoustic band. Since none of us “plug in” you have to allow the sound system to pick up the music. Vocal mics don’t pick up much except for about 6-10 inches in front of the head of the mic. A real challenge actually and something that we are always struggling with at various places.
That’s your band dynamics lesson for the day! (gg)
