Wayfaring Stranger w/Wyatt Rice!

This happened at Nashville Flatpick Camp last month. Adam and Megan Chowning, who host it at their home, are superb folks and they had some incredible instructors including Wyatt, Ron Block and Kenny Smith!

Wyatt is one of the most kind and humble people I’ve ever met and he was so generous with his time. All the students got to record a song with an instructor and this was how it turned out. I’ve admired his amazing rhythm work on so many records, this was quite surreal!

Sounds like you had a great experience and y’all sounded great. Will we be seeing a new album “Mark and Rice” in the future?

@Lucy_L Thanks! Yep! I really wanted to work on Spacegrass stuff. I think he had one other student to practice with- he gave me so much of his time showing me progressions and voicings. So generous.

@5-StringPilgrim thanks Jeff! Probably! It might also have just appeared in your recommended. Thanks for watching either way :sunglasses:

I guess I’ve been to eight or more Nashville Camps of various kinds (banjo, flatpick, mandolin, vocal, jam). I’ll be back next chance I get.
