The Ballad of Jed Clampett

I have been working on playing the theme song for the Beverly Hillbillies for a while now. It's about to drive me crazy. I can look right at the book and follow along with the song but it just isn't sounding quite right. My fault I know.

I'm going to keep playing it until I freak out or until my wife does. Whichever one comes first. Sometimes when I get fixated on a song, that is the only thing that goes through my head until something else takes its place. I try to play the song on the banjo and when I am not practicing it I am running through every note in my head. Let me tell ya bout a story bout a man named Jed, over and over and over. UUUUGGGHHHH!!!

I am going to go play some more now. Ya hear?
