Bud - another good one. Janice's vocals are always sweet. Would have like to hear a very subtle fiddle part somewhere... Great job.



Thanks everybody. I worked up a version with the fiddle but it seemed to constantly conflict with the Dobro as they both produce sustained notes. Probably could have made it work if I'd taken more time. We originally recorded this tune years ago with the great Randy Howard who was grammy nominated, played on everybody's record it seemed in country/bluegrass and was 12 time national fiddle champ. We had the privilege of releasing a CD that featured him. He passed away in 1999 which was one of the reasons we took such a break in writing and recording - when you've played with the likes of him it's hard to accept anything less -- plus his passing just took the steam out of our interest in recording, etc. Anyhow, he played a great fiddle part on our original version of swimming hole. The only reason we created this BIAB version is that Janice is now a much richer singer and we wanted to give it another shot.
