My funky blues version of the classic fiddle tune. This is for my contribution to the thread about this tune on the Sound-off forum. This ain't your mama's version, so be warned..lol The tune is also known as Black Mt Blues and my version definitely has the blues oozing in it. But it wouldn't have funked nearly as much without John Kuhn (AKA the 'Kidd') adding his percussion and bass lines! He also did all the mixing.

So where did you find that 70's doorbell? lol. Can't fool me. I know who put down the funky banjo but who was it on the bass that fed the funk?

Yeah Ken..what doorbell? Haha, I had a deep 70's moment too when I first heard that in there. The Kidd didn't tell me he was slipping that in but it was worth it.lol
Oh I forgot to put the Kidds contributions on the info...dang! That was really slack, but i corrected it. I put it on the BMR thread but forgot to here.
