For me it seems to be:
"Big Bug Shuffle"
from the album "Skip Hop and Wobble" players=Russ Barenburg, Edgar Meyer and Jerry Douglas |

Location: Cicero, NY | Wow - great question, JW. One that I'm going to have to give thought to just to narrow down to a manageable list of 3-5. But the question is sure to raise some great tunes and memories (because all great tunes have memories attached to them). |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I'll double that for "Never Going Back Again". Hopefully, one day, I'll get it right.
One of my favourites is "Needle and the Damage Done" - Neil Young.
And for a straight up, feel good, hit them strings hard strummalong, try "Free Bird". If you can find someone to play lead, even better.
...and ANYTHING by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Just a thought. Did anyone ever see Monty Python's 'Secret Policemans Ball'? Pete Townshend (The Who) did an acoustic version of 'Wont Be Fooled Again' and it was FAN - BLOODY - TASTIC. I don't know who the name of the guy he played it with - probably someone famous. I'm not big on pop trivia. |

This reminds me of a Dylan Tribute I was watching some years back. Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready appeared as an acoustic duo and played "Masters Of War". It was absolutely capitivating...
and I'm no hard and fast Pearl Jam fan.... |

Location: Tennessee | Word was that Townsend was completed blitzed when he performed "Fooled" for the Ball. Also performing on the show was Eleanor Bron, who played the priestess Ahme in the Beatles's film Help!.
I saw Vedder do a great acoustic version of "Gimme Some Truth" at a show a couple of years back. |

I had asked if you ever got your home studio up and running. I mentioned that I was working on a couple of tunes and it would be cool to send then to you (when finished) to let you add some vocals and/or harmonies. |
