Ok, here’s what we have so far and I’ll edit as I hear from folks:

Solo 1: Ben plays melody mandolin
Solo 2: Libby guitar solo (improv or variation)
Solo 3: Someone banjo solo? @Luke_L? @Mason_Crone? @Mark_Rocka?
Solo 4: Me or @Timothy_L? on guitar melody (as written) and @Michael_Mark on mandolin harmony
Solo 5: Everyone in unison

Thoughts? We can have more solos.

This is open for anyone who wants to try!

We could have @Luke_L lay down a slick dobro solo.

Looks like fun! I’ll watch the lesson and learn the song as soon as this week is over. We are in the throes of running our first festival at a last minute indoor location because of the tropical storm :laughing:

Didn’t Lucy and Timothy do mando/banjo harmony on one of yall’s songs? That might sound cool for an A or B part maybe.

I’m willing to try either banjo or guitar once I learn the song. I’ll watch the lesson as soon as I get a chance.

@Fiddle_wood, I think I understand this condition. I too had this started 2 weeks ago on my left elbow, some movement made it worse. I had trouble moving/turning my left hand. But it is lot better (on its own) now after 2 weeks miraculously. I thought it was going to be for extended period of time if not life long. I think rest and maybe some diet should make it disappear for you!

almost passed out while driving to the doc this morning

not real sure about making it “weeks”…

ah well, enough side tracking, on with the thread…:slightly_smiling_face:
