By groupie request.... Orange Blossom Special

The following was an accident. We were recording other things in the studio in late July (this year), when, during a moment of pause, our violinist starting fooling around (as we all do in the studio) with this tune, the Orange Blossom Special, a very well-known Bluegrass tune. Next thing you knew, everyone else kicked in and started playing. Little did we know the recorder was rolling. So, we had this thing on tape.

Now, this is a Bluegrass tune, not a Klezmer tune, and certainly not a Jazz or a Rock tune, so it had nothing to do with the types of music we play, and we really did not know what to do with it. We were thinking of filing it away in scrap land. But, it leaked out. People were blown away by it, and many of them asked us to release it. We are still not sure what we are going to do with it, but decided to acknowledge the fans and post it on the site, just for kicks. I guess it shows our diversity.

The inside joke is that the band is calling it "Jewgrass!" Listen for yourself. Enjoy. This is completely unedited. Note that Fred on Clarinet is not present in this, as he was out in the other room getting his sugar with coffee. Please let us know what you think we should do with it.
