<p>@Nicholas - i figured it out listening to Flesher's CD. I raised the 2nd string to G and the 4th to A. After that it pretty much plays itself. Sometimes I play it with the 2nd string tuned to F#, and keep my finger on the first stop of the 2nd string (G) so I can go directly into Kick Up De Debble on a Holiday.</p>

My tinitus mimics this backwoods symphony, I hear cicadas where there are none. As mentioned this stuff is very mood and stress related so it comes and goes, but sitting and playing banjo outdoors, or near an open window or door the sounds kind of swirl together real, and perceived. It was in the fall, long after the insects had died off that I was done with my arrangement. We were in the studio and when our fiddler and jaw-bone player went outside for a smoke break I didn't want to waste valuable studio time so I asked King Benntt to try this one with me. I had asked him to make up some sandpaper blocks and do a <em>rest-2-3-4</em> rhythm to mimic the insect sounds I'd been hearing. We faded out with a pre-recorded insects sound effect. Dave</p>

It's my tribute to tinitus (long story best told around the campfire). I also enjoy the 2nd South Caorilna's recording. To be honest the main reason the instrumentation is sparse on our version is that the fiddler and jaw bone player were outside of the studio having a smoke and King Bennett and I decided to try this one so as not to waste studio time. I never have tried the Jim Crack Corn version, like Tim mentioned it would have a very different feel to sing. Dave Culgan PS Dan'l - I like that cork pop idea!</p>
