Art, I've been listening with great joy to "On the Wilderness Road" and "That's the Ticket."--wonderful tunes, great singing and playing, and your inimitable story telling. One tune in particular, "Shake Sugaree" has me puzzled. It sounds like you had Scruggs/Keith tuners on the guitar, either that or you were pre-choking strings then letting them go. I suppose it could also be bottleneck, but it doesn't quite sound like that, either (it would be hard to keep other strings from sounding along with the intended string). Whatever, it is a wonderful effect in a beautiful rendition of the song.
