Noel, my friend, you are just too kind.

I wish I could say that I'd carefully considered the points you mentioned, but in truth it just sort of came together out of a bit of guitar practice. A country 12 bar at 180 bpm is a great way to smarten up your clean picking.

I played the basic tracks to Jess, who then confessed to being a fan of Bluegrass and so she wrote and sang the harmony in about ten minutes!

Sometimes you just need a bit of luck.

Many thanks for all the kind words.

ROG.
