We had special visitors in tonight's instructional jam. Stan and Abby came from McLeansboro to join us. Stan used to play with Meryl Haggard, but it is not something that I mentioned, so I know not everyone knew. The music was very good. Stan sang The Tennessee Stud. I have always liked that song. Since this particular group is the more advanced of the two groups, it was a good exercise in learning to follow songs that we haven't done before. Charlie sang a new song tonight, too. It was in the key of F, so we really got some good practice in. Some of the songs that we played tonight include Pig in a Pen, Worried Man Blues, Rolling in my Sweet Baby's Arms, I Saw the Light, Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Grandfather's Clock, Think of What You've Done, Shady Grove, Somebody Touched Me, I'll Fly Away, and Train 45.
Charlie & the Girls are going to compete in Branson in a couple of weeks, so we took some time out for them to go through two of the songs that they will be playing there. I had them set up just like they would be playing in Branson, complete with the single microphone. They did a fantastic job, and it will only get better between now and Memorial Day weekend (when the contest will be held).
