Brian, Nice job on those tunes. Sounds like the record. I wish I had people to pick with that knew just half of that record. Must be nice to pick them all.

For the folks that don't know, this ensemble was concocted by various Sconnie (that's Wisconsin) boys (and one Iowan) to play the entire "Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe" record at a few shows. The band includes two Bluegrass Boys, including Bob Black (the banjo player on the original record) and Mark Hembree (Wisconsin's lone Bluegrass Boy). It was the brainchild of fiddler Paul Keinitz and also includes myself on mando and guitar player John Fabke. Well, I'm posting this kind of in answer to a few of the recent topics on the group. As I've been sweating and working on learning the album, I can attest that my practice time for the last few weeks has been listening to, and playing along with, this record and not much else. I can also say, that after only two shows, I'm totally exhausted but had as much fun as should be legal. Playing with these boys was a pleasure and an honor. (To steal Hembree's favorite saying) "Anyway", here are a few tunes for last night's show at the Richland Center City Auditorium in Richland Center, WI. A couple hundred nice folks showed up to see us and were one of the nicer audiences I've had the pleasure to play for. http://dasspunk.com/music/kenny.tribute/ Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
