four years pass...

Got one of those 8 Classic Albums box-CDs of the Stanley Brothers for a great price. Excellent winter driving music. This one feels almost sinister.

seven months pass...

I learned recently that that extra beat in Clinch Mountain Backstep (above) makes the tune "crooked" - which is kind of a catchall term for tunes that don't quite follow standard form. Usually means an extra bar, extra half bar, extra beat or something like that, but occasionally can be standard pulse/bars but with an odd or offbeat change.
