Gentlemen: whenever you see a great big overgrown buck sitting at the mouth of some holler, or at the forks of some road, with a big slouch hat on, a blue celluloid collar, a celluloid, artificial red rose in his coat lapel, a banjo strung across his breast, and a-pickin' of Sourwood Mountain, fine that man, gentlemen, fine him! For if he hasn't already done something, he's a-going to - Josiah Combs, quoted in Old-Time Mountain Banjo
For those of you who enjoyed the last session with Professor Scratchy and myself, we had another yesterday and Thomas was over too. Much fun playing and blues related chat. I have no idea what tune to share, but there are four new ones on my channel if you fancy a look. The Prof broke out some 12 string guitars this time too. :-)
I haven't listened to all of the tunes from the most recent session, but "Black Mattie" sounds great to me in every respect, vocal, instruments individually and in the ensemble, tone and spirit. I'm happy for you guys to have found each other and to have the opportunity to make music together. Merry Christmas to Scotland! All best, Johnm
