The Crib Jam CD along with Red Dirt Serenade are probably the two most down-home tributes I have done that features the type and styles of music I grew up on. Not unlike many others of those times, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitars, basses - upright and electric - along with dobro, ukulele, accordion and harmonicas ...ALL of these instruments were a part of our family jams in the living rooms, backyards, pie suppers at the local schools or wherever the family was asked to come and perform music. This is the only CD where I was able to talk my wife into singing a song with me on any recording. She did a great job and often people want her to sing it live when we are somewhere. At this time, she's a studio vocalist only, ha! ...but it was a treat for me to have her on this track. She's truly a behind-the-scenes sorta gal and is very happy in that role of supporter and helper. But just this once she was willing to sing with me on "Best of Friends". Maybe the title and story of the song was/is the reason why. Lyrics of that song are true as it pertains to our courtship, romance and coming together - then as in now. As the old country song says, "love is still alive and at our breakfast table". I thank our Heavenly Father for that every day.
