Earl Scruggs and John McEuen Soldiers Joy

Nice selection LT, thanks. Bela Fleck is such a great musician that sometimes I just can't listen good enough. Sometimes have that problem with Chris Thile's mandoline and always with Thelonious Monk's piano. Don't have that problem with the one you picked though.

Maybe my favorite banjo picker is John McEuen of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Looked for a YouTube of him but they were mostly guitar. Which reminds me of the old joke. The definition of a gentleman is a guy who can play the banjo ... but doesn't.

Anyway decided to play this one instead. Bill Monroe gets credit for inventing bluegrass but it just ain't so. He did sort of rebrand it though when he hired Earl Scruggs.

Saxaphone Anyone? The Moanin' Frogs - "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Gotta love the baritone sax fade out on Lou Reed's record.

Heard this song a lot around the Oscar's but not like this.

I think my first exposure to this song (my parents were into country and western) was in the Sunkist commercial of the late 1970's. Gotta love the organist playing his heart out and Hal Blaine -- legendary drummer.

This song by Creedence Clearwater Revival..."Lodi." That song sung super slow and sultry by some Lora Lee country music singer would be nice. Musically, the tempo would have to be slowed down and re-imangined. Super slowed down and sung sultry like.

I'm surprised some country female music artist wanting to make it hasn't made that a hit song yet.

"Lodi". My imagined version of this song slowed "way way down" by a female country singer.
Use your imagination. Not been done yet... at least not super super sultry slowed down.

"Lodi" almost aches for it to be sung like never before (fictitious Lora Lee).

The circumstances of what is being conveyed in this song lends itself to whomever, man or women.

Slowed way way down and sultry.

Fionna Apples rendition of John Lennon's "Across the Universe" is an example of a song sung slower.
