I am running way behind this morning, the internal stopwatch with which I compete with myself having not started on time . Having no one to answer to in the studio but myself, I can do what I do on my own time schedule but I have always been a stickler for trying to get as much done as possible early in the day so that when my natural indolence sets in I will have at least accomplished a few things for the day.
So, today I need a kick of energy, something to rev the engine. I think this might be a good morning to feature some upbeat music from the progressive bluegrass trio Nickel Creek featuring Chris Thile, the wunderkind on mandolin. This is a rousing version of The Fox that has a jam band feel and there’s a nice little piece of Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues thrown in as well.
Enjoy and have a great day!

Love the progressive feel – couldn’t help but think of the David Grisman Quintet and Stephane Grappelli.
If it’s been a while, here’s a link to Dawg’s Rag .
Yes, it does feel a lot like Grisman and the pluck of the mandolin and the saw of the fiddle does remind one of the jazzy swing of Grappelli– all great stuff! Thanks for the song.
