@@jims.6767 I always do this whenever I'm trying to make a tab for some break. With the time stamp it allows you to click it multiple times to hear the same exact part over and over again.

Brittany Haas, excellent fiddler and lovely looking lady, all in one neat package.

I don't think there are words to New Camptown Races. It's an instrumental written by Frank Wakefield.
