thank you- this is the last verse of one of the alternate 'takes' - the last day of recording piano tracks at the Rayville arts center. we're actually going to use the 1st one we did, days earlier, which we hadn't even rehearsed- we just jumped into it. the energy/feel is best- and yes, Michael IS a helluva piano picker. he also played some great James Booker style piano on "Stackolee"* - we alternated on piano on it*, but i liked his version better than mine.

This is one of your best ever. The traditional music seems to suit you very well.

I love you, DD.

Excellent, Doug. And Michael's a helluva piano picker, too. Thanks for posting.
