Excellent last day in Zac Brown’s Southern Ground with Dan Tyminski, Barry Bales, Adam Steffey, and Clay Hess. We laid down a fast old-time fiddle tune, Ralph’s Clinch Mountain Backstep with Clay on rhythm guitar, and two originals. One is called Mollie Catherine Carter, named after my great-great grandmother, and another called Smartville, named for a town in
Northern California I lived in as a boy.
The guys did a killer job, and Brandon’s tones ruled - used a Neumann U47 and KM54 on the banjo. We cut fifteen tunes in three days.
Tomorrow I’m on to learning some Clay Hess material to play with him in Missouri this weekend.
