Janice and I both knew before and this has further affirmed that you have a feel for bluegrass. The real deal. Not just someone doing a bluegrass song because it's a popular vibe. The arrangement both vocally and instrumentally well reflect bluegrass structures, e.g., harmonies, fills, intros/outros and solos.

We watched the Dolly Parton fundraiser for Gatlinburg a couple of nights ago. She raised nine million dollars and had gathered an interesting collection of performers. Kudos to her. Nothing came close to this song. We don't say that lightly. (Janice just said they might have raised 10 million had this song been part of it!). A few of the performers just drug out their old warhorses. Few of them seemed to hit the balance of both entertainment and a sense of commitment to what the show was ultimately all about.

It's rare, even as popular as bluegrass is nowadays, to hear a BG song that has a topical subject and "works" like yours. Send it to Del!

My only problem with this is learning that you frequently get this close to NC without letting me know so I can drive over to Tennessee and buy you a beer.
Pat, One of these years I am going to make it to Merlefest. Thanks for your kind remarks and I will be drinking that beer this summer. We're coming to NC for two weeks. I'll let you know when we nail down the dates. I'm looking forward to another great conversation. This time I'll lay off my wild tales and listen to some more of yours. Tom

Story behind the news: Back in Jacksoneville NC, One of the bands I was in at the time had a drummer play with us for a few weeks or so. His name was Mark J. Through the years, we all kinda drifted apart and went down different paths in life. Facebook and one of the musicians from that town/era brought us all back together. As it turned out Mark had moved from eastern NC to the Tenn mountain town of Gatlinburg. He was still playing drums and messing with music. When the fires swept through the town and the hills around Gatlinburg, unfortunately, his house was among the hundreds of casualties, and he and his wife and family literally lost everything they owned.

Good song.
Hey Herb, Glad you liked it and I hope your friend can get some of the help that is being made available. Enjoy the Holidays. Tom

Prayers for Gatlinburg, and if people want to contribute:

An excellent write and a fitting tribute to what sounds like an awful tragedy.

Love the vocals and some fine sounding harmonies.

Your vocals and harmonies on this are excellent - and one of the best vocal mixes ever on these forums - a true "part of the whole".

This is SO good. You should enter this in the Merlefest song contest - then one of the top recording bluegrass/newgrass/Americana groups needs to record it...

I just keep thinking "Wow!"

This is a great review! Thank you so much. I am really thrilled you liked it. Tom

Beautifully conceived and executed.

Thoughts are with all those who are personally involved.

ROG.
Rog, Glad you liked it and glad you mentioned the tempo. Sad songs are sometimes too sad when played slow. Also there is feeling of hope in the last verse so a medium tempo seemed appropriate. Happy Holidays, Tom

You did good on this song, Tom, real good. The bar you have set is still WA-AY above me frown laugh

Hope you have a good Christmas

Alyn



I have to agree with Alyn, except the part that any bar is above him, although yours is very high! Really good stuff Tom!! Take care. Greg
Greg, Thanks for commenting. This thing about the bar kinda doesn't work at all because thankfully we are all so different. Have a Merry Christmas. Tom

This is a great song and I can only echo what others have said that is indeed a great and sad loss.

However, you have created a musical document by making this song about that event so others may remember when hearing it, and that's a nice touch.

Great music, vocals and production.

Cheers.
Mike.

Scott, I remember reading about that fire. I'm afraid these weather problems are the new normal. Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,

Bluegrass at its best! You're not just a singer/songwriter ... you're an entertainer. This was terrific! Wuith only your voice and instruments you put on a show. We loved this.

And the place where my son, daughter and I stayed in 2005 perished in the fire. Such a tragedy , especially the loss of life. You told the story as good as it could be told.

Merry Christmas and wishing you & yours a wonderful 2017.

I have been a fan of Bluegrass for most of my adult life. I love Del McCoury. Thanks for these wonderful comments. It means an awful lot to me coming from Pro Grassers as yourselves. This is one of the best reviews I've ever gotten! Tom

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
