Re: Sleep with One Eye Open
I'm a bit confused here. I don't understand why this was posted to begin with, as the original post dates to March 2011, so this doesn't appear as part of the "On This Day" function. And then the discussion shifted immediately to "Ookpik Waltz," not the titular song. And that was what had caught my eye in the first place, as my seasonal cajun-country-bluegrass band does it regularly. It occurred to me that I'd never heard the original (though i knew it was by Flatt & Scruggs), having learned it by doing it at gigs, so I wanted to hear how this version sounded.
My band's version is a good bit slower, more in a country tempo, estimating at 76 bpm. I think it's a little bluesier that way.
Haven't found a version yet, but I did find this snappy one (as well as the original).
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
