And down to Knoxville they did ride.

Del 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.

In a similar vein, you might appreciate Elwood's cover of "Sundown". . . If you can appreciate well-done creative rap. (The video is pretty worthless, but at least the song is shared.)
