For me, this is not easily done. On a drive home to Ohio last year, this little hook came to me and I rolled with it. There’s a lot of words to get rolled off, but when they do, it creates a catchy little bluegrass toe tapper.” A “bluegrass toe tapper” is the perfect description for this tune that will no doubt become a fan favorite!
