[Em] [E]
[G] So that feels [A] good to you?
[E] Okay.
What if you, can you pay for it?
Just see real quick?
I've got, [Em] [E]
[Am]
[E] [A]
[D] I'm a little more relieved than [A] the neck.
I put it much like good, so I think that helped it.
Okay.

Tell [E] them about the [D] towel, Ron.
[Bb] Yes.
[Bbm]
Played with people, played with people.
Yeah.
[Bb] Oh, [Bbm] the band was playing, we're playing really loud, right?

[Cm]
[F] [Bb]
[Eb] [G]
[B] Yeah, I'm not just saying that, but it was [Em] great.

[D] [G]
What do you do with, when you're playing on stage,
the difference between [Em] the sound coming out here [B] and what you hear?
Do you try to lean into it more to hear, or are you just used to it?
I'm used to it.
It [A] takes a while to get used to that, [G] because, you know, bands [B] always sound,
really good [E] banjos sound a lot different up here than they do up there.
Yeah, they do, right?
[A] And I think that just comes over time, and it's, it's [D] something that's okay.
[A] If I hear a banjo up here that [E] sounds really good to me, I usually hate the [A] band.
But if a banjo doesn't sound good to me up [D] here, it's probably a really good banjo.
That's funny how that's
[A] It's better, yeah.
It's just, the better of the sound's coming out in the front.
Right.
[E]
I think over time you just get used [A] to, your ears get used to hearing [D] certain things [A] from the top,
and then it's okay [E] not to be able to hear the greatest things [A] on the top side while you're banding up.
All right.
But, [E] yeah, I mean, it feels,
[G] So that feels [A] good to you?
[E] Okay.
