    Default New original tune, Midnight Firefly

    https://m.soundcloud.com/user-609577...dnight-firefly
    Can't get the soundcloud embedded player to work, any tips?

    Wrote this tune the other night on clawhammer banjo while looking at a Firefly around midnight. I recorded it as an instrumental relay race, each instrument plays solo then backup then rest, so only two instruments play at a time.
    Hope you enjoy it!

    Thanks Jim!
    I tried that, but it said that I hadn't input a valid soundcloud link. I've used the embedded sc player before, don't know why it didn't work...
