A couple of inches of snow may have brought the country to a halt but the tickets to our first Telluride arrived this week.
Getting excited again.....

You start it in whatever key you want and I'll join in (in whatever key I want).

Sounds like jazz to me.

I don't think you'll find many pickers playing in G - it's such a difficult key for the b*njo.  Wink

Me and my favorite piano player have been working around the Circle of Sharp 6th's. Its sounds the best when you use The Minor 7 flat five. Over this I drum solo. It sounds very very pretty Flower Flower
