Liberty

I like this tune.  The first time I remember hearing it--there was a family of bluegrassers called the Schoonovers in the town I grew up in (in Oklahoma).  Two of the Schoonover daughters played twin fiddle, and made this song sound great--bouncy and upbeat and fun.

  2. You're welcome, Nick. I'm behind on Winfield preps. I have to get 4 songs ready. 3 songs are 75% ready. One song is 50% ready. I'm doing something different this year and tabbing my arrangements. I'll post them here as I get them done.

  3. Thanks for this song Dave, it's definitely an all time favorite! I was hiking in Grand Canyon 2 days ago and met a guy who lived in Winfield and we had quite a fun conversation about the Winfield contest and festival.
