I looked around YouTube to find someone covering this riff. Came up with a lot of nonsense, so I thought I'd try and write it out.… More…

“Talk about” a great duet. I’ve been looping this “Skaggs and Rice” record to internalize some nuances of duet tenor/lead singing (and also, for enjoyment!)… More…
