Another Jam

So James and I jammed with Shane after work today (damn he's gettin' good on that banjo) -- playing a little Bluegrass. We each played our lead instruments but took turns on the guitar. And then when Shane had to leave we adjourned over to James' place for the not-so-Bluegrass pickin'.

We ended up concentrating on four songs, of which we need LOTS of work (well *I* do anyway):
* Warmth & Beauty by Thad Cockrell, a local alt-country guy; I'm singing lead and playing guitar, and James sings tenor and plays the mandolin leads
* Oh My Sweet Carolina, by Ryan Adams; James sings and plays guitar, and I play vocal fills and leads on the fiddle
* Amtrak Crescent, by Scott Miller, the freakin' MAN; same arrangement as the Thad song
* and lastly Sunday Morning Comin' Down, by Johnny Cash, excuse me, THE MAN; both on guitars, with James singing lead and me on tenor

Lots of fun! Still lots of work to do to make those songs sound good, but it'll be fun working on 'em. I can't wait till Merlefest!! Less than two weeks!
