BLUEGRASS BLUES -- a bit of a departure for me ...

[TwilightOdyssey]

Inspired by the new Tommy Shaw album, I wrote this:

I don't own a mando, so I had to use 8ve guitars for the mando parts. Sorry, neither the timing nor the tuning is perfect -- I wanted to get it all down lest I forget bits!!

Enjoy!!

Cool stuff, man! Neat what you can do when you force yourself out of your comfort zone, eh?

Oh yeah, stretching out is always good for the soul, if not always easy on the ears.

well you know me and my weird ears Ben-

I hear more of an old school Italian vibe, mixed in with a bit of ragtime. vs. bluegrass.

that said I like it! (FWIW- I'm a fan of Bluegrass and always have been as my dad was a banjo player and I grew up listening to him)

Hehe, I can totally hear what you're saying ... add some accordian and it's one genre. Add mando and lap steel and it's another.

P.P.S. I am a closet Lawrence Welk show fan. I watch it on PBS when it comes on and enjoy the hell out of it.
