Loving this thread. I couldn't pick a winner but the Kid takes first prize for the shirt.

 Jane!  My Shirt?.. OMG! what about Joe's HAT, and my  new TEEFS!. My Gawd, I paid 9.99 for those TEEFS... My fashion designer and I both thank you. Glad to have your support followin this thread!!!

Jane C - Posted - 07/07/2012:  04:32:50

Never mind the TEEFS Kidd, that 9.99 would'a been better spent on some strides Sir. You're half nekid!

I used one of Beckyboy's backing tracks. The middle section is supposed to be rolling backup, but in retrospect I probably should have been up the neck to make it sound different from the rest

Matt, thats some very smoooth stuff and your tone is solid as a rock.

You might wish i hadn't done this tune, when you hear my version...LOL. After hearing these other guys nail it, I HAD to be differnt with it...my apologies in advance to the traditionalists amongst us, for my heresy......

Seriously though, i have really enjoyed hearing these different spins on this tune. There's some great music on this forum sometimes!  We should make this a regular Sound-off theme. We can call it "Murdering the Classics" or somethin' like that.

Banjophobic - Posted - 07/08/2012:  12:28:10

Alright, here's my take on the tune too. The Kidd added his usual fantastic drums/percussions,  funkadelic bass riffage and  some great mixing. It wouldn't have been the same without his work-thanks Kidd!

With so many killer versions already posted, i had to take my normal route and be different...

tofte32 - Posted - 07/08/2012:  13:23:59

That was what I have been waiting for. I said the same about laurence's post you took us down routes that were so unexpected but exciting at the same time. so very well done! I'll be studying that work for some time

 John, it's really hard to do something different on such a well-worn tune, especially when ten of us already took a swipe at it - but ya did it man!! Just excellent! And Kidd did some really cool bass riffs in there too, props to both of you!!

Well, Mr.  Boulding took us for a trip way outside the box there.  In fact, the box is not even in sight.  Actually, I'm not sure I remember the name of the box.  Great job John, with some very capable help from the KIDD.

Don Borchelt - Posted - 07/08/2012:  16:42:46

Now, that was some real cool jazz.  I think I'll just lay back and listen again, and pour myself another expresso!

Man, thats some version Phobic, i love it.....who the heck is goin to top that??? Any Takers?

Fantastic thread.  HAve really enjoyed listening to all the different versions.  I started working on this tune at the weekend but fear this thread may be archived before I get it up and running!

Cheers

 Joe, I don't think "topping that" is the point - I have enjoyed everyones's take on this tune, they are all unique.

There's Someone still missing from this line up JIM REED where is he we need his take on this tune

Ian

Banjophobic - Posted - 07/09/2012:  06:44:22

Yeah, come on Jim-pony up here dude. We also need some 'newcomers' to contribute. Oh, and claw-hammer /, tenor- any and all versions would be welcome too -right guys?

Edited by - Banjophobic on 07/09/2012 06:51:48

Erbus - Posted - 07/09/2012:  07:26:41

I totally agree, any version would be cool.

This thread is like the Virtual Fiddle Festival over on the Fiddle Hangout, great idea.

Hey Gang, on behalf of the phobmeister, thanks for your support regarding our arrangement of the tune. Talk of his version started about a week ago and I could feel something wild was brewin.....He hit me with 2 SMEEOKIN banjo  tracks in dropbox on SAT and #2 was the one I picked. He wanted to stay with the "less wild" #1 (but it was wild enough.) but we said, LETS GO FOR IT. So I began comin up with drum parts and LP to match his syncopation, then jammin out with it on bass, and he picked my first drafts of each instrument so we were able to post the next day!..Yeah, this thread has been very enlightening for sure...We come to know our fellow pickers in a special way sharing arr's of the same tune where our differences are celebrated instead of ostracized. Id like to see a few more postings guys!

The KIDD - Posted - 07/09/2012:  16:57:02

Alright-welcome to the Black Mt Rag club Ken ! That was mighty fine.

rickhayes - Posted - 07/10/2012:  08:41:59

Good addition Ken.  And kudos to Janet for the CH rendition.  I tried to work up something clawhammerish but my limited CH skills left my attempts well short of what Janet submitted, especially those melodic runs.

tofte32 - Posted - 07/10/2012:  09:49:38

That's it Kenny good effort learning by ear is always the best way to remember a tune!
