I've practiced Roustabout (a lesson tune) everywhere from Virginia to Minnesota over the last couple of weeks and it feels like this informal, no-fingernail, practice recording made late last night captures the best that I have in me at the moment. I hear things that I hope will change with practice, but I'm happy with it. It seems like the last times through have a bit more ooze than the first and those are my favorites. I'm uploading it to my music page for safe keeping.

Thanks to both of you for the encouragement!
It's an interesting journey. I was happy with how things were coming along until Riley Baugus' version turned my world upside down a few days ago. I love the way it seems to lean forward with a tumbling drive that couldn't stop if it wanted to -- but I also really love tunes that ooze along in a way that makes me feel like I'm kneading putty. The question is where I want to be (should be?) on that continuum with this tune and that's a whole lot harder to answer than something like, "How in the world can I learn to drop thumb cleanly?" : )

great job on this classic Cockerham, one of my favorites.

Thank you! It's such a wonderful tune, isn't it? The three parts are such a perfect complement for each other.
