Alligator Pie (DMB) Acoustic Cover- Banjo, guitar, 2 mandolins!

This is my acoustic cover of Alligator Pie from The Dave Matthews Band's most recent album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. The fun part was meticulously transcribing all of his gibberish/skatting syllable for syllable. About 30-40% is comprised of discernible words :-P

Instrumentation:
Guitar in mandocello tuning
Tenor Banjo
Two Mandolins
2 vocals

Here are his lyrics, INCLUDING all skatting stuff for your education and amusement:
(oooh... yep.... Ohhh yeaah)
(Float)ing in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise (rise)
Second day the sun is high (high)
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
Yeahhhhhhh...

Say:

All the things we know and
Everything we hoped for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar
Where the old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to me

Grace is all I'm asking
When will grace return
Grace is all I'm asking...

Remember how I feel in the sad days of the summertime

[adysongirly]

what's your banjo tuned to for this?

[bbrizzy89]

@adysongirly It's a tenor banjo in... not irish tuning but the other one haha- so CGDA- same octave and notes as a viola actually!

[MrBadscorpio]

Very cool rendition. I love the sound!!

[bbrizzy89]

@MrBadscorpio Hey thanks a lot and thanks for the sub! enjoy the tunes.

All the best,

Bryan

[bh325]

Well, Bryan, you surprise me! This is a great rendition of a great song. Your instrumentation strengthens the "cajun" feel of the song, and I also think the arrangement is one of your best. The synch is spot-on, and the overall sound is very, very good. Some of your best work, I'd say!

[bbrizzy89]

@bh325 Wow hey thanks for all the support! I'll have something new up soon!

[IAmScottify]
