Here’s the second clip of Kevin and Ryland’s bluegrass jam the other night: “Dig a Hole,” “Salty Dog Blues,” “Ballad of Jed Clampett,” and “Can I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight, Mister.” My brother Bobby’s behind the video recorder, and his wife Kim’s dad, Bruce Wiles, is the off-screen singer on that last song.
Kevin’s dad, Ryland Hawker, brought his banjo over to my parents’ house last night to play some bluegrass music. Here’s the first clip — “Wildwood Flower” and “Nine Pound Hammer.”
NOTE: I’m still working on getting this uploaded from my new phone. I think I may have to resort to using a cord (of all things :P), since I can’t get the phone hooked into my WiFi (the PW that works with my laptop & iPod is wrong?), and the video is too large to send over the 3G network (according to the phone). Done! I used the cord. 🙁
When Atticus wanted to know how to spell his name last year, I came up with his little song to help him remember it. I’ve tried many times to get a recording of it, but finally one day this week, he was in a mood to sing and to see himself on video. 🙂
Atticus from December. 🙂

I recorded it on my digital camera, so the quality’s not great. But I’m so glad to have it! I can’t wait to show his girlfriends…hahaha.
