Thursday Nite Bluegrass, Medicine Hat, AB

A typical night begins with a slower bluegrass tune, to warm up, and then in turn we will pick a tune from the Thursday Nite Bluegrass song book or maybe we'll play something new someone has brought. We sometimes practice what is called close three part harmony which means the three parts are the three notes in the chord as opposed to separating by an octave or octaves. We might play an instrumental tune three of four times experimenting with different solo's... or we may sing a tune several times using different styles, or with a different lead singer so we all get a chance to try the harmony parts.
