Pete,
I did not expected to hear such respectable picking from a novice. Both you and your band warmed up a bit and began to play with a real bluegrass feel. I think you all could sound better if you all relaxed or loosened up a bit more. Maybe some alcohol or such would be of assistance. Get loose.
You all should be pleased with your achievements. Good job.

Wow, that was really cool, mate. I liked the way that the more you played, the more you all got into the tune. Keep at it and in another year's time you'll be tearing the head off that tune!
