Cooool, great tune by the way ! 🙂

Hi Delma. Thanks for the suggestion. I intentionally left bowings out of the basic sheet music notation as I recommend that you develop your own bowings based on the licks you choose to play.

Good suggestions, guys! Kevin Burke recorded Sarah Delaney for us a couple of weeks ago, so stay tuned for that one in the next month or so. I’ll add these other suggestions to the listing of potential lessons in future recording sessions. Thanks!!

You going to the Punch Brothers in a month, Roland??

Its going to be fun watching him develop over the years. Loaded with talent.

He’s quite the talented/interesting guy, for sure, Ron.
