lollardfishDel McCoury is one of the great living legends of bluegrass. I've been trying to branch out from Ralph Stanley and broaden my bluegrass repertoire, so went to Youtube.
Here's a lovely little song about a red-headed girl and a motorcycle from 1952. Some of you might have heard it already (sarcasm warning as my sarcasm seems to have been missed a lot lately!).
I really admire people who take someone else's song and just own it when they cover it. I'm a good mimic, taking on the vocal tones of others and replicating them in ways that work for me. But I tend not to reinvent others' work this way. Good stuff!
Meanwhile my son and some spaghetti are locked on mortal combat. Too soon to tell who will win.
