    Thanks! And nice idea, but ... um ... and don't get me wrong, because those things are cool, but ... Well, it's like that line from a Hank Willians Jr. song, ''Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?'' There's no need to act on anything suggested in the lyrics of a song, regardless of how cool or clever or right on it may be. It really is the thought that counts. Besides, the song is partly about how silly it is to request reggae from an Americana band. Of course, it would be very cool to go full-out reggae for that section when we record this in the studio, and do the same for the video ... we cpi;d enlist the local junkanoo outfit in all their feathered finery and stilts and all ... but that's getting way ahead of ourselves!

    BTW, when I was a kid my folks took my brothers and me to the Virgin Islands and Antigua for Christmas vacation three times, and I encountered steel drums, which fascinated me. Still do. My musical mindset includes calypso as a result. I don't think they play a big part in reggae, but then, I didn't write the song. I think the guitarist was using the imagery to emphasize the inherent absurdity of the situation. Funny, though - in my old band I found a way to tweak a couple of effects to simulate a steel drum sound, This was useful for Jimmy Buffett songs and such. Might have to revisit that ...

    Haha I promise that, despite my facial expressions (or lack thereof), I was enjoying myself. As for the Gibsons, I was lucky enough to get first place in both the mandolin and guitar contests this year at Rockygrass. Those two instruments were my respective prizes.

    Also just to clarify, I'm on mandolin and my friend Patrick Gunning is on guitar.

    Congratulations on both wins and beautiful instruments Bob. Thanks for sharing the video your run with the low bass lead was way different in an interesting twist.

    Nice picking you guys! I see that neither rain, nor wind, nor lack of facial expression shall stay these pickers from their appointed jam session.

    You nailed it. There's no doubt Bill took it to the next level with this one.

    Thanks gentlemen. The tuning is G#G# C#C# G#B C# E, same as Bill used on the original recording. Later on at times he would tune to a Dm chord instead. Not sure if there's a story behind the change or not. I like the original
