Walen,
nice seeing the group tonight at Key Klub at the Piano Source, we all had a great time – and of course you all sounded superb! I searched “you tube” for the Lily of the West song recorded by Earl Scruggs, nothing on line. Found a Joan Baez recording that was okay, but not as good as Earl’s group had done it – soulful but eerie. I have a page of sheet music and 5 versus. It seems the Lily of the West, or Flora, Lily of the West was originally from Ireland, but made it’s way to the states and was popular in the 19th century – a song about a man courting Lily who betrayed him – I think your 3 voices could do a great job with this song if you are interested. For some reason I can’t get my PC to scan and upload it. Do you all have a P O Box I can mail you a copy? Thanks. Karron
