The KIDD posted a video of this a while back and i learned a rough version of it 2 months later im finally getting around to cleaning it up a lil. Not sure what happened in the mix from audacity but the guitar ended up sounding like crap to me. O well this is a pretty cool tune with the tuning section and the little walkdown portion. I think this is a Steve Huber tune if anybody cares to ellaborate on it. Not much to be found to be found on it. I think KIDD myself and maybe 2 others are the only vids on Youtube of it.

Posting this version with the Tuner sections in it. My own arrangements. I play this one with my great uncle on the occasions where he has a gospel gig and he plays the harmonica along with me. The up the neck is usually what i play behind him.

This is played on my freshly assembled (less than 3 hours old) 80's Stew-Mac flatop no hole ring pot w/ an asian neck. Fyberskin Head, Waverly TP, GHS med-lights. I was kinda skeptical about the head but it gives it a thumpy sound kinda i think. Might just leave it as it. Still gotta get a resonator for this banjo. If anybody has one laying around you would like to donate feel free to send it my way! Thanks to Dan Pennington for the pot and neck and all the work he did on it before he shipped it to me.

Always loved this tune and never sat down and tried to figure it out. While at work last night i listened to Jason Skinner and John Boulding on Youtube play it a few times then came on and went to work. Figured out the basic section mid neck in a few minutes. Took a good 7 hour siesta, ate some lunch and started adding to it. Anways it started gettin good to me so i figured id record it while i was in the mood. Turned out well i think. This is on the 26 TB1, and the Blueridge BR140 guitar.

My arrangement of Blessed Assurance with the cheat-a-keys. Not a terribly difficult one but i bet i've spent 5 or 6 hours behind the mic trying to get it where i want it. This has been the longest drawn out recording i've done. The banjo breaks were giving me fits. Then i quit on it around 3am the other night and saved the guitar trk and lo and behold when i came back tonight levels were all discombobulated. Took an hour to get them sorted back out. Sheesh! Not sure what made me think of this tune a few weeks ago but i remember daddy had one of those old Smoky Mountain Hymns albums a long time ago on tape, you know with the dulcimers and all, and this one was always my favorite. Puts me right back on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the back seat of an old Grand Marque some 20 years ago. I started fiddling around with the guitar and out it came, then jumped over to the banjo and decided right then i had to get some Cheat-a's to get that whine to it, which my loving wife so kindly gave me for Fathers Day. So here it is hope you all enjoy it!

Snippets of our first CD. First Song is my instrumental Flood Gates, followed by a Jimmy Martin Classic "Mary Ann", Then the Osborne Bros "Lonesome Feeling" "Remington Ride" "Glendale Train" "West Virginia" "You Wont Ever Forget Me" and finally "Black Mountain Rag" Let me know what you think and if you would be interested in getting a copy we'll have them back in about 2 weeks. Its been an absolute pleasure to play with this group of guys. Its always fun to play with a group that makes you want to be a better picker. Ive had to change my style more in the past year to fulfill the sound and i think its been for the better. Hope you enjoy. A big thanks is in order to Mike Rose at AudioFarm studio in Goldsboro, NC. It dont look like much from the outside but Mike is a veteran at bluegrass and recording bluegrass. He knows what its supposed to sound like and it shows in the finished product!
