OK, here is my entry, a bluegrass-e remake of an old tune I love called Bear tracks, or Ol Slew Foot....I have heard it called a few names.

This is for the Country Category.

The Main Rhythm is

_Furnace.sty Furnace Runaway Train Rhythm

On top of this I used the following...

602:Harmonica, Soloist Train Ev130
601:Fiddle, Soloist Train Ev130
1507: Pedal Steel, Soloist, CountryTrainPaul Ev16 140
1727:Piano Acoustic Rhythm TrainBeatJohn Ev 130

I even worked in some 3 part "ohhs & ahhs" BGV.

This XtraPak has some good styles, even the midi, but as soon as I heard this Real Style I just knew I had to do this song.

Enjoy!

Well done... not sure about the public domain part of the rules here with the song you decided to use, though.

For 50 years I have always found this song referred to in the context of most Appalachian Folk music, so i am assuming there is no problem....if so I am sure someone will toss the proof out there....
