Overplay/underplay In Band

[Daria]

I try very hard not to overplay in a group setting of various instruments. We tried this song out last night with our little band, and I wonder if I am underplaying? It was our first run through, and our fiddler was gone, and we will do an instrumental break at the end.Just wanted opinion as to too little concertina or not?

 

It is called Glory Bound by the Canadian group the Wailin Jennys

Hi Daria - I can't open the attachment. What kind of content is this?

[Daria]

It was saved as an HTM file, but appears to contain an audio file. I don't know how to extract that!

Here's Daria's very nice recording:

Very nice cut. I like the singing and the banjo.

Your playing while she was singing was perfect. For the instrumental break, you could have done more - maybe stronger, louder harmony with the banjo - but IMHO it's always better to underplay than to overplay.

Nice sound to your band!
