Rocky road blues

Midnight Jam with Chris Thile, James Nash, Jens Kruger, and Paul Diffin. Man, oh, man was this fun! The Midnight Jam is a special after-hours show at Merlefest, and mandolinist Andy Owens was the emcee. There's nothing cooler than being told by the emcee, "Hey, you're doing a quartet with Chris, Jens, and Paul." They're some of the most frightening musicians on the planet, and I mean that in a very good way. The experience is even better when you ask, "When are we going on, and what should we play ?" And the answer is, "30 seconds--whatever you want." We played a maniacal version of "Rocky Road Blues" and whatever we may have missed in taste, we made up for it with energy and speed. Rock and roll with mandolin and banjo--I love it!
