A Lesson In Musicianship

What a good lesson this is on how to keep things interesting when you’ve performed a song many, many times over

Notice how guitarist Phil Rosenthal, mandolinist John Duffey, and bassist Tom Gray each  take charge of tone and tempo in their solo vocal spots, yet the performance maintains a cohesive feel. If you know the recorded version, which includes all in this lineup but Rosenthal, you’ll appreciate how ingeniously they’ve changed it up.

These are musicians at the top of their game – The Seldom Scene with “Traveling On and On”.
