Hillbilly BarMitzvah

Description

Here is a song celebrating both the Hillbilly and the Jewish sides of myself.

Garageband allows me to make this something different than it was originally intended for. It was written for 2 acoustic guitars and reveals something of my bluegrass influences.

Comments appreciated.

	Interesting I like this mix of styles. Very interesting. Maybe you could invent a Klezmer Blue Grass style? :-)

	Klezblue I am pretty sure that Klezmer and Bluegrass have already been done. However maybe someone out there can add a clarinet or fiddle break to this. I could remix and tone down the electric guitar, which is not a real electric guitar anyway. This is all acoustic guitar that has been dolled up in GB. Check out my latest song called Dance under the Clocktower

	My band once did... A bluegrass version of Stairway to Heaven. It wasn't Rocky Top, but it was very very popular at all you can drink bars. Biggest kick of all-I got to yodel in the middle of it! :) John Check out my latest song called Double Bass Collaboration

	Sweet I don't get a real strong sense of bluegrass, but it's cool regardless. Is this based on traditional Jewish music? Reminds me of some Russian music that I heard once. That's what it needs! A balalaika!!! I do wish it was a bit longer, though! John Check out my latest song called Double Bass Collaboration

	Didn't know... you had a hillbilly background. It might come in handy with Dreamers Like Me. I plan on getting a clarinet again (which I studied for years). Maybe I could add that clarinet part? Again, an unique guitar composition. Jack

	This I like I can see myself pouring my talents into this one. Very intriguing. High energy. Middle East meets Backwoods America. Call it Holler Hutzpah.

Oy vey
This is something else. Yiddish meets the Smokey Mountains meets Haight Ashbury meets the Greatful Dead.

But I love it. It is, to say the least, very original, and quite good. You really surprised me when the overdrive guitar came in the first time in the song. I wasn't expecting it at all.

If you really want to mix it up, add the clarinet, along with the fiddle and maybe a mandolin.

Way to go Mr. El Oval
