<link>https://www.banjohangout.org/song/17030</link>
<itunes:summary>This is the first song that I wrote in country style for banjo. At first it was written in Russian language by myself. And now I&amp;#39m happy that I can sing it in English too! This English version of lyrics for this song was written for me by my Banjo Hangout friend - Mike Gregory! I want to thank him very much for his great work about my Russian lyrics to translate it in English! So his name will appear on my future banjo CD where I add this song if you&amp;#39ll appreciate my performance of it. It is so great to creating real song together with my friend from another side of the Earth! All banjo parts by me; guitar, arrangement, record and mixing were done by Alexander Kartoyev who made my previous records too. Hope to see your comments here (especially about what you imagine while listening this song). It is very important and interesting for me :)</itunes:summary>

I played banjo on this session job, and really like the tune. Lots of fun to listen to!
My part was mostly rhythm, but I got a few licks in, here and there. You can hear the banjo mostly on the right side of the mix.

At the end of the song, there&amp;#39s a reference to: &amp;#34dancin&amp;#39 to Pinto, at the Saddle Sore Saloon&amp;#39 The Saddle Sore is a famous honky-tonk  just over the hill from Jackson Hole, on the Idaho side, in a tiny town called Swan Valley. All the rich folks and movied stars who live in Jackson hit the Saddle Soar, where nobody pays any attention to them. Pinto Bennet, The King of Elmore County, played there often, with his band, The Motel Cowboys. He&amp;#39s the best Country singer/songwriter I know.

Pinto became a pretty big deal in the British Isles... I heard he was well known over there.</itunes:summary>
