[G] Scruggs, it's amazing, [D] there's not anybody on any instrument that I'm aware [G] of who,
after doing his career, when people get together, there's one individual whose material they all know.
Not all of it, but there's a lot of common material.
There's no other banjo player in bluegrass that a whole lot of material is understood
and known by the different players.
So why don't you guys think of a Scruggs tune you both like and see what we can do on that.
What you got?
Oh, some road blues.
Okay, so Earl, that's a song that goes way back, but Earl had his special way of doing
it [C] and [G]
we could even [Gm] try playing a unison on it and see what happens later on, but why
don't we [C] take turns on it [G] first.
Ronnie, would you like to start?
Sure.
You might want to start.
Let's get the bat over with first.
That's my best friend.
