Nice job Scotti. Thanks for sharing.

**Scotti Adams** · May-05-2010, 5:25am

Thanks guys..these were done a day before I had my second cortizone shot for Trigger Thumb in my left hand...uncomfortable fer sure.

U da man.

**wildpikr** · May-05-2010, 8:34am

Good stuff! Hope you get some relief in that hand.

**swinginmandolins** · May-05-2010, 9:23am

Nice work!

**Mark Gibbs** · May-05-2010, 9:53pm

I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Seriously, Tennessee Blues is one of my, if not my favorite mandolin song and you have great arrangement. The gospel tune is very good too. Thanks for the thread.

**french guy** · May-06-2010, 6:15am

Great job , it remind me the Rice/Grisman Tone Poems , especially the tune "Just a Closer Walk"

The thumb has been an on going problem for about a year now. The last shot I got was last August so it lasted almost a year.

This recording was actually done with a little trio Ive been having fun with for almost 30 yrs called the String Fellers. Its myself on mando, either Paul North or Jeff "Jilesy" Soward on bass and my favorite guitar player of all time Mr. Bill Trubee who plays an all origional 56 Martin 0028 which he pulls such great tone from. These guys really inspire me. Its ironic that after all these yrs we have found ourselves w/o jobs..either by retirement or layoff...so we manage to get together more. Weve been playing fairs..weddings..goat ropings...whatever. We have alot of fun. I may be able to come up with some more tunes to post. Thanks

I agree with French Guy...the first piece really does have that Tone Poems quality...nice job!

So...the techie in me has to ask: I assume you're playing that Clark F5? What strings are you running on it? Has that nice smooth sound that I really love.

Let's hear more.

Cheers, Benski

**Scotti Adams** · May-06-2010, 8:41am

The only string I have used since 1985 Gibson Monel Wounds strung up on my fabulous Clark F5...they are Gibson Sam Bush strings. I have switched the .14 A's to the .15 here recently though. Thanks for the compliment.

**GoVols** · May-06-2010, 9:19am

very nice playing - thanks for sharing.

**hank** · May-13-2010, 10:47am

Great picking and arrangement Scotty. Your Clark and Mr. Trubee's Martin couldn't sound much sweeter, you both know how to pull the tone out of them. I hope your hand allows you many more years of what you love.

**Scotti Adams** · May-14-2010, 7:40am

Thanks Hank..we hope to do some more recording soon. In fact we were supposed to be in the studio yesterday but the owner was having new flooring laid and the job was running behind.
