   The Scene used to have fun with Deulin' Banjos (I think they put it into   
   their "B Medley" from time to time.  One memory, Duffey following Ben: Ben   
   lays down this terrifically cool melodic lick taking about four measures   
   to descend about an octave and a half. Duffey:"Does F. O. mean anything to   
   you?!?), but I think by and large your point stands.

   Back in '82 or '83, our country band had to play "Swingin' " from John   
   Anderson four times in one night.  I think my agony trumps yours.
