Hello folks,
I came across this old tune a few weeks back, and I think it's a very cool tune to play, especially with a mandolinist or fiddler. My favorite version of "Cuckoo's Nest" comes from Butch Robins, on his "Grounded, Centered, Focused" record.
I really love this tune, and I was at a local jam session last week, and I really wanted to,learn this tune, because I'd really love to play this along with a mandolin player. Banjo and mandolin fit so well together, as well as fiddle.
I don't have Butch's exact version handy for an MP3 or YT video, but the particular version I'm liking is one I heard a friend of Butch's play, Mr. Jim Richter which in his YT video, he played "CN" on the mandolin. He tells in the description, that he follows Butch's version.
I'll attach Jim's mandolin version here:
Thank you very much.
