Gold Rush

I know what you’re thinking. Gold Rush isn’t a Texas style tune. And listen. Look. I don’t want to argue. Not when things are so unstable in the world. And in fact, the easiest thing is for me to just let you have this one. You’re right. It’s not. But here at #texasstyletuesday headquarters we like to think of ourselves as broad-minded and willing to consider all the possibilities. We also know that if you look up the video of that one stage show (which is weird because there does not appear to be an audience) where Dick Barrett and Benny Thomasson play a bunch of tunes, they totally don’t stick to the standard Texas style catalog and they’re my heroes so here we are, I guess. @tristanscroggins and I also address these concerns on this topic at the end of the video so watch to the end. Before we start playing, there is some discussion of Andy Griffith and an example of what happens when your fiddle player isn’t clear about the intro. I left these things in the final edit because they make me laugh and you already knew we weren’t perfect so it’s not like I thought we were fooling anyone. I miss everyone. Please let me know if you learned a new tune this week.
