Look, Tony Rice wrote the Old Train riff like 15 seconds before they recorded it. Two weeks is plenty of time

Ok so you already have half the arrangement done. I knew you’ve obviously been working on it.

I have the A & B part riffs I want to play, I just gotta figure out what verses they’re going to go in.

That’s tough. My least favorite stage. It’s fun to practice the execution and the smoothness once you have it all arranged.

I figured you’d just have Jake write the entire thing for you or something.

No - he doesn’t like to do that for us. Although lots of mine is from him! I really think coaching is the best way to prepare for contests. But that’s just me, I’m an early planner.

@Flatpickin_Libby @Lucy_L Do you have to get to the park on a certain day to check in or anything? If possible I’d rather get there Tuesday. These events are kind of cryptic to figure out

No, you can get the tickets anytime! There is only a certain time that you’d want to check in if you were coming in a camper because the spots are first come first served and I guess they fill fast. We’re camping across the street though so we’ve got a spot reserved already.

You can come Tuesday no problem- people arrive all week. Youth night is Monday and that’s pretty fun watching the little children compete but the adult contests start Tuesday.

So is this your first competition? Just curious! The first time I did a competition I was ridiculously nervous.

That’s pressure on @Michael_Mark. 
But I know Michael will not be intimidated by the crowd nor by peers.
