I like that tempo. Gives one a chance to pick up on all the little nuances that make that song so catchy.

Real Panama hat & mustache-twirling music. Nice playing Tim!

Now that I've listened to this and Joel's version I think I know how I'll spend part of the "snow day" we're enjoying here. I'm guessing this is in the Analytical.

Are these not perfect little projects for days like that. I'm currently making my way measure by measure with Anthony Street Reel.

I was revisiting Anthony St. just the other night with a fiddle playing buddy. We decided that Anthony St. was an address somewhere in Funkytown.

oh yeah it is...what a cool tune. I have the A part memorized now working on the B part. Can't wait until I can sit down a nail the whole thing. Same thing with Far South. At one time I had the first part down but not the second, gotta revisit the whole thing over again. It's cold and rainy here today...time for some good food and sit down with the banjo...life is good.

Many of those from Analytical. One of my favs is Narragansette Jig.

IS there a video for that one Tim?

Comment by Tim Twiss on February 8, 2013 at 3:32pm

Yes..I've done it 2 or three times on my site. Maybe at least once here...

Found it! Good lord..that's a long and intricate song. How long practicing, and on most songs, would you say it take you to have it them to memory? I find for myself sitting down with a song like Anthony Street Reel it's taken me a couple of days just to get the first part down.  Good video.
