is true,"you can take a boy out of the country but you can't take the country smell out of the boy" yee haw...
Citry is the genre style that you'd get from such a mixture....but really you have a good mix of styles and a ear for production and mixing, I like the way you blend each part together

I should have expected that anyone who used a pink edsel in as his artist photo would have liked this song LOL.

Works for me. I'm gonna keep that idea for a TV show in my pocket. Could be a better show than some that are on the air now.

cool mix and production, it reminds me of my train ride in the Indian countryside as well as a song I heard at the rainbow fest in Bali, nice song Bill

I think maybe I'll try another one like this but ask the question "what would happen if a bluegrass artist got hooked on crack?" Could be an interesting song idea.

Thanks for the comment.

but in a good way:-) I would love to hear your interpretation of the afor mentioned song idea..lol My favorite part are the zappa like runs that are sprinkled all over the tune. very creative

For some reason I never became a Zappa fan, but you are the second person to mention somewhere that I use some Zappa-like runs in my pieces. I guess that would be reason enough to listen to some Zappa and find out who I a stealing from. <G>

Thanks for the visit and the use of your ears for a few minutes.

sorry but this is not Bluegrass.

Bluegrass does not use any type of electronic synthesizer.

One of the fundamental aspects of Bluegrass music is its use of traditional Applachacian insturmentation: Violin, Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar, base, dobro etc.

But what is it then? The answer could be that it is pure junk and maybe it is, but it is man who made the words that describe everything including genres of music and, just like any man, I reserve the right to misuse those words or try to stretch the definition of them. :)
BTW I used to play in a bluegrass and jug band a long time ago and this is nothing like what we played, but then again we did not play anything like the Yonder Mountain String Band either. :)
Thanks for the comment
