Do I have to mention those beautiful vocals again? Or the performance of this song? Or the melody?
I don't think so. It's always perfect! This song is no exeption. And I already told you about the high risk you have of becoming too vain.
But I must admit, you earned all the compliments and become a bit vain (if you want..).
The fiddle/violin did a good job, but surprisingly you had a mandolin in your song as well. I liked that very much, but is that 'allowed' playing Bluegrass?
Let's hope we are close to 'After the storm' now.

Stay save,
Hans


Hans, bluegrass comes in many tempos and time signatures. Slow waltzes are common for the genre. The mandolin is a big part of bluegrass as the originator of the genre, Bill Monroe, played mandolin. It is very rare to find a bluegrass band without one. Janice used to play rhythm guitar and mandolin in our bluegrass bands.

Vain we are not! This is all just for fun and if you and others like what we are doing that just makes it all the more fun. And nice comments like you make are genuinely appreciated.

Thank you,

J&B
