        My brother taught me Turkey in the Straw 25-30 years ago. At the time, I was into Clapton, Skynyrd and more raucous forms of guitar music. Now that I appreciate the wooden/dulcet side of guitar playing, it’s nice to finally do something with it. Love flatpicking acoustics. I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday season and has an even better new year. Feeling blessed.

          That was awesome John! A real well played toe-tapper.
          Happy, Merry, Healthy to you as well.

          Cheers,

            Good stuff, it brings memories of my uncle doing that tune on his fiddle.
            Thanks

              Love it, John. I need a pickin’ partner……. and a couple of Martins.

                  You know John, pickin’ partners can be an acquired taste. Much like older brothers. 😉

                    Nice picking, John! You can’t beat two acoustics trading back and forth on fiddle tunes! I enjoyed the ending too 😂

                      Wonderfully done, John. Excellent! Got any more?

                      Best of the season to you and yours. Here’s to a musical 2024!

                        I also love the folksy woodiness of the acoustic guitars! Add my bravos to the applause!

                          Both of you performed some seriously good picking and strumming! Merry and Happy to you too!
