Thanks for making an enjoyable song even more so. I usually hate taking apart music the way you do. I like to hear the whole thing, not all the sounds individually. Makes me twitchy for some reason, like my brain will only ever hear the different pieces & never be able to put it together again. But for some reason, I love when you do it. One thing I can't ever seem to hear well is bass. Maybe it's an actual problem with my hearing? I don't know. (Afraid to find out.) But it takes someone pointing it out sometimes for me to know it's there. Off to find the full song & blast it all the way through.

Don't really know their other music, but I never get tired of this song. Mandolin might be my favorite instrument! I used to joke that in heaven, people won't play harps. They'll play mandolins. I just adore that rhythm & the melody. Like the guitar bits of, "Hotel California", I never get tired of listening to that melody line. Wish I could get it surgically implanted into my brain.
