I looked all over the place and could not find a tune by that name (I think it might also be called "Pray") on her latest album or on any of her albums.

A few days ago I watched Rick Beato's interview with him.  His right hand technique is pretty amazing and is how he gets that attack and clarity; and it's also why he has to change strings really often.  It's a great interview; the main inspiration for his style is Django Reinhardt and Gypsy Jazz.

I think the answer is here... a working title, suggested by the bassist. 😉

Our youngest just sent me this; the National Anthem at a SF Giants game in '93:

That was really nice.

Yeah.  I mean, the song itself?  Obviously glorifies war, and verse 3 tells of what a wonderful thing it was that the US troops massacred the escaped slaves who fought for the Brits (how dare they raise their hands against their masters??), and the melody is so hard because you're supposed to be drunk to sing it; it was lifted from a song sung by a club of young "noble" Brits, organized for the purpose of consuming huge quantities of brandy and raping "common" girls - just altogether a really crappy anthem (I would recommend replacing it with "This Land Is Your Land" - all the verses Woody wrote, not just the ones they teach us in grade school).
But they did do it beautifully, didn't they?

Does my heart good to see youngsters playing that kind of stuff.

Thanks Dave.
Got this on my Weekend Watch list.
Lighthouse's Tale was my first introduction to Nickel Creek, still breaks my heart.  Instantly became a fan.

Didn't make it to the weekend, started watching and didn't stop.

Not at all what I was expecting and yet it exceeded expectations.
