thanks! I'm trying to get the whole yellow book up on youtube. It's been a fun endeavor.

I know what ya mean, it's a very short loop.

More of an exercise than an actual song. It really helped me understand the physics of the converse thumb. Drop the thumb to second string, hit first string with first finger to propel the thumb back up to fifth or fourth string. keep that thumb jumpin around

It was early in my reenacting career, I was still an infantry private. I was there two weeks, a week where we did various marching and camp scenes, then for Pickett's Charge week. I was in the Devil's Den scene, firing my rifle, I marched around and around Martin Sheen and Tom Berenger (while Berenger kept blowing his lines), and my claim to fame was rolling a barrel across the front of the camp at Lee's headquarters on the morning of the second day. The guy's in the battalion call me the Barrel Man. ;). If you know where to look, and look real close, you can see me in Pickett's Charge. I was with Armistead!
