Re: Song of the Month for January 2015 - Hicks Wagon Wheel Special
hi AJ,
Thank you! Now I am waiting for your take ;) I hope you'll post it soon!
Yeah, I like using drum loops when I learn or play a tune, it help me to fix rhythm lags and it make me ready to play with other guys!
I am agree with you when you say this tune is not an easy one to learn. This kind of tunes "poor" in melody are expected to be easy but they are all about rhythm and variations, and this is a job to make it sound great, that's why I said I still have work on it...
Like you, I had difficulties to found good samples for this tunes on the web and I haven't any recording for this one at home. So, I also picked fragments from everywhere I was able to in order to learn this tune!
That make a little challenge and make this tune a good choice for the SOTM ;)
we can also mentioned Jamey Hall who ever posted a take a long time ago (link#2)

Very good job AJ This drum backing track is really powerfull ! Do you make it?
I always like the way you play a tune, you have your own recognizable style!
We have 4 takes from 4 braves (AJ, Jim, Jamey, Greg) and 4 completely different versions.This liberty in the way of playing a tune is what make the cajun music interesting to me!
@Nedro : Yeah, you're right, links doesn't work anymore and I don't know why. So I try to post the link by an other way

GREAT versions, guys! AJ, I'm jealous of your drum beat, your groove, AND your star-spangled drawers - what a jumpsuit that would make! Greg, great version, as usual; tell me again, please where you are from?
I'll try to get around to posting a version, though it'll probably be a whole lot like the 2011 one. I'm trying hard to get ready for mid-winter planting . . .

Thanks Jamey, I was beginning to think we'd all stuffed it up after reading the critique from grumpy 'ol gruesome!
The drum machine is a toy I picked up at a jumble sale, bought a proper one following that but found the beats weren't half as interesting.
The drawers were a christmas present, very warm and yes would make an excellent jumpsuit, I'll send a sample for you're tailor.

Running out of time and running low on vodka, I'm posting up, ready or not. Any glitches you might detect are not of my doing, but the actions of demons within.
