Practice Session MP3s
If you found yourself here, feel free to browse, but be forewarned, these are mostly unedited and may contain mild expletives and extreme honesty between the band members, and perhaps a bit of shucking and jiving and playing the "numbers" with each other. I should also mention that many of the songs as they appear here are not all that polished and we are not particularly proud of them. They are posted here merely for the convenience of the group so that we can make sure we remember how the harmonies are supposed to go, and so that we can remember the arrangements. That said... have at 'em...

okay... follow along if you will:
Versions 1 2 and 3 arrangements progressed but I kept them just in case there was something we might learn from the harmony... (or lack thereof  ;-)
Version 4 may be the best harmony, but Doug (me) forgot how many times we had done the chorus and the we sort of crashed and burned.
Version 5 is the arrangement we want, but with less beer influenced bad harmony. ;-)
It's also worth noting that the first line "I'm a roamin' cowboy" just kept sounding silly to me cuz I kept thinking of it as "I'm a Roman cowboy" and I just never quite got over it...

Robbin Peter To Pay Paul
The intro on Peter/Paul is completely different, but regrettably, I went through a spell of not recording practices. :-(
I think we've done it a whole lot better than this in recent days.
