This is what I wanted it to sound like back in 2009 when I posted the original. Long overdue reworking of the tune, but I think I finally was able to play it the way I was hearing it. Whew! - I can let it go now!

J&J live WANT 98.9 Lebanon, TN late 90's

Jim McReynolds - Guitar, Tenor v. Jesse McReynolds - Mandolin, Baritone v. Luke McKnight - Mandolin, Lead v. Jim Britton - Banjo, Buddy Griffin - Fiddle, Bass v. Matthew Allrred - Bass

Thanks to Rock and Jim Reed for the inspiration to learn this tune. Both of their pre war banjos are to die for...especially in D tuning. Their playing abilities are to die for as well. Jim's recording on his cd sounds just like Sammy Shelor with his RB12.

Let me know what you think and if you would be interested in getting a copy we'll have them back in about 2 weeks.

Its been an absolute pleasure to play with this group of guys. Its always fun to play with a group that makes you want to be a better picker. Ive had to change my style more in the past year to fulfill the sound and i think its been for the better. Hope you enjoy.

A big thanks is in order to Mike Rose at AudioFarm studio in Goldsboro, NC. It dont look like much from the outside but Mike is a veteran at bluegrass and recording bluegrass. He knows what its supposed to sound like and it shows in the finished product!
