Wow! You played that at a healthy Galop.

Kudos, well done.

Did you make the hat?

Thanks! It took three takes and a German pilsener to slow it down. I must have thought I was playing bluegrass.. or making a cylinder.

The hat is a Knox, New York, I picked up last week from a "Antique" (junk) store for $13. It seems to be new and never worn. I think I got took cause I found the original paper tag in the band for $12.50

Excellent! Some times those tunes just take off, don't they? I have a terrible time with "Whistling Rufus" because the C part just wants to be played like a whirlwind...and then there is no way to (successfully) back off and get back down to where I can return to the A part to finish.

Nicely done, Joel. Great tune mining there.
