Tom T. says he has hundreds of songs but only one melody. We should all have a melody so versatile.
I once heard Red Henry referring to bluegrass songs by number system. The melodies and lyrics both have a seperate system starting at one and going up in usual numerical fashion. He and Murphy were kicking off a song and I didn't know it but Red assured me that it was merely "melody number 9, words number 5".<G> Touche' Tater On Oct 9, 11:36 am, "Mike Hoffmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have never enjoyed playing or listening to bands play Fox on the Run, but > I am curious who plays the electric mandolin break on the Tom T.
