Bluegrass Single Release

A trip through Colorado last year provided the inspiration for Urban Monroes' guitarist Fran Kent to write the song "When the Aspens Turn." Affectionately known as "Aspens" on the Urban Monroes' set list, it has become one of the band's favorite songs. Poetman Records liked it too. Saying the song was "a winner with top notch playing," the band's recorded version is scheduled for release in January 2010 on Poetman's Acoustic Rainbow Volume 35 .

In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s. The good news is that much of our catalog has been released under this creative commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 We have made many Antiqcool songs free to download for a reason, we want you to sprea… Continue

Any help on solving this problem and/or reaching them would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi David, Using the capo and playing G or C puts you where you need to be for the fiddle an d mandolin players. If it's easier,hooray. Making music is supposed to be fun not a gymnastic workout.

I am working on Old Dangerfield and Forked Deer. I tried Old Dangerfield without a capo and it sounds cool but it is a lot of work. I capo up to A in the G position and things go much better. Any thoughts?
