    Back Up and Push was recorded in August of 2013 by the Saw Mt. String Band. The band consisted of Marcy, Jeff, and me (Michael). We recorded more than a CD's worth of material over time. Jeff and Marcy live in Tennessee and I live in Southern California and we still have never met in person. We exchanged our individual tracks via the internet and I mixed them down and posted the results.

    Since I'm spending so much time at home lately I discovered this song waiting to be mixed on my old computer. What must have happened when my computer malfunctioned was I forgot about Back Up And Push. It took me about two years until I had the time to repair my old MacPro tower. In the meantime I had completely forgotten about the project. Anyway, long story short, I found the track today, remixed it, made a video and posted the song here.

    Marcy sang lead and played fiddle, Jeff played the 5 string banjo, and I added harmony vocals, mandolin, guitar and bass. Hope you like it (and sorry for the delay Marcy and Jeff...)

    Great authentic old-time sound there, Michael. I often wonder what Marcy and Jeff are doing now; haven't seen any signs of them here for a very long time.

    Well Mr. Pastucha - I'm blaming you for me not getting anything done this morning I have been binge watching / listening to your wonderful videos on your channel, and cannot accurately express in words how much I enjoyed them. I don't know whether I liked watching the videos or listening to the music more, but thank you for sharing - Mark

    Thanks everyone. When I looked at the date on the audio file I couldn't believe it had been so long. And I still can't believe I had forgotten about this song completely...
