<p>That might be good. There is a reference in Rice for that song. It shows the use of a pull as opposed to a nail glide across 3 strings. This will certainly be a good topic. Plus, there is Joe Sweeney Jig in the Buckley book 1860. The words are cool too......based on a lot of factual landmarks.</p>

I work on that, but I wouldn't call it "simple". It would be a good one to discuss though I feel in no way ready to record it. As a future thought, I was going to suggest Old Johnny Boker from Briggs, which also comes up in very similar form, though minus the Rice pull-offs, as Joe Sweeney's Jig in Buckley.

<p>How about "Devil's Dream" from Rice? This one utilizes many interesting techniques. It is, after all, a fiddle tune so we can examine how a banjo arrangement is birthed from another source. We can look at the original fiddle tune, as well as it's treatment in later publications like Dobson. Can we can on Wes to play it too?</p>

<p>Maybe one more simple one.....possibly one with the extension of thought and technique of Alabama Joe. Something we could all play in a week, maybe revisit the Rice pull.</p>

Maybe alternate more challenging tunes with more beginner accesible tunes. Give us the tings we can use now, and point out possible future directions.

<p>They may be a little intimidating for some of us newbies, but I will try anything. I had a lot of fun learning Alabama Joe. Still is a little rough but I enjoyed the trip.</p>
