Nothing like a bit of Scottytunes fiddling to put a smile on my face. (can I say that, it could be misinterpreted and su****ious). Edit: replace *'s with s, p, i, c. when reading

I subbed on bass for my Dad's friends band doing a polka gig one night. Did that and went down and played a gig in Chicago with our band including Ted Nugent. I will always have a fond place for polka in my heart. This really brings back memories even if there's nothing about a barrell in the song! Same as Frank, as a vet and a fan, and someone who is always for a good memory jogger, THANKS!!!!

James, Thank you and you're welcome. My band played for a veterans' day dinner dance last night and there was a POW from WWII there who gave an hour and a half long talk and sold some books he had written about his experiences. His stories were interesting and bone-chilling. As for the collab thing...I'll need a few more months on that...quite burried at the present time but thanks for thinking of me. GuitarPrima might be interested. I think he is a great guitarist.

Thanks Scotty I wasn't sure what you had planned over the next few months , I'll go ahead and post it and if he interested in adding guitar to this new song I have been working on for a week now I'll send it to him . Cheers ! Radio

Hi, Scotty,
This is absolutely wonderful! Unique intro, but then a very traditional sounding arrangement, and spectacular fiddling, as always. buddy.
Excellent piece of true Americana, my friend! Bob

Thank you very much, Bob O. Unique is exactly what I was shooting for. In fact, I nick-named my music; "Breaking the Tradition".

It started out so serious..... and then.... that classic Scotty style broke out.
Very fine..... The change up reminded me of the Yellow Rose of Texas a bit.
A fun tune to listen to.

This is freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!! You should hire that Fiddle player full time Scotty!!!  I'm just kidding man, I like your music best when you are playing fiddle or guitar in it, although I know you can play it all.
Just freaking AWESOME!!!!! No crits here, everything you do sounds great to me, if I have had any crits pay them no mind because sometimes I will listen to a certain type of music for hours and when I hear something else it sounds off because of that very reason, I guess I need to mention that more.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bobby
Wow, Bobby! This one seems to have struck a chord with you! Thank you for your kind words, although crits are fine too so don't hesitate to post them if you've got 'em. Have a super weekend!

Bobby,
I feel the same way about the anticipation that the music builds within us. That is why I like writing stuff with intros like this. Thanks again for listening and for sharing your view points.
