Description
This all started by discovering a recording from the early 1950's of my grandfather doing a square dance call. I didn't know how to do much to fix the old recording, except I was able to adjust the key signature (probably back to where it started), and the BPM's to some extent. Because grandpa's performance would veer pretty wildly in tempo, I was only able to add snippets of his call to the jam that follows him in this piece. (I'm sure someone with more technical skill could've done much more!) Later, in continued tribute to him, I decided to add my piano version of "Simple Gifts" with a try at orchestrating to that. Guess that makes it all a fusion, of sorts.

Y'know, you never know what you get if you play arbitrary tracks on this site. This is definitely different from anything I've heard before.
But I love it! You've made a very creative hoedown out of old and new material, all enough in the same spirit that it fits nicely together, but still with interesting variety. The various bits flow into each other seamlessly.
Great stuff!
