Download This song just makes me happy when I hear it, so I’m including it in “happy month”. So there!
I don’t even like bluegrass, but once played at a Bluegrass Festival. Don’t have a clue how we got roped into that, but we only had to do one number and I chose this one because, well…like I said, it makes me happy. Written way back in 1907, this Christian hymn has been recorded by a thousand different people – the most famous version being by The Carter Family in 1935. For some reason they changed the title to “Can the Circle…” instead of “Will the Circle…” – nobody seems to know why, but I guess it works either way. They’re both questions that no one can answer.
If you use these backups, you can pick and choose when you want to sing. If you have a banjo player (you lucky dog), you can sing on the fiddle, guitar, or piano solos. Your call. I’ll bet you don’t know why a banjo player is a fiddle player’s best friend. Because, without him, the fiddle would be the most hated instrument on earth. Just sayin…
Oh, and what’s the difference between a banjo and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle? Give up? You can tune a Harley…
