Thank you for the input Dewey. I've re-mixed it again and took the handclapping completely out and also boosted the bass and banjo a bit. I don't remember the recommended time setting for the style I used, but you may have a point there. I put the new mix on soundcloud, but I didn't post it to this forum because I didn't want to just keep posting the same song with relatively minor adjustments. I too, am a fan of BG music, just never was talented enough to feel comfortable playing it much. When I was a kid my brother and I got the chance to meet Bill Monroe, and that was quite a memorable experience!

Thank you Torrey, Dan's been very helpful. Being able to communicate and receive input and ideas from such talented people is a great aspect of this forum.

Thanks Marty, I've really been enjoying the stuff you and your gang are putting out too.
