yep that was pretty dang fun, Pete. We couldn't be more different in how we
approach the 'bro, and that always makes it interesting.
So I still don't get the crosspicking terminology for this stuff. What you
describe here is still a forward roll, but with different fingering. The only way
I can get it work semantically is to think of the thumb crossing the index to a
higher string. Like this: playing strings 4-3-2-1, fingering T-I-T-M. Or
T-M-T-M....
oh well, I guess it's all in how we (individually) look at it.

Do a 'roll' with T T I T T I T I or T T M T T M T M. I like doing that and do it
as well as T I M T I M T I, etc. It's a bit of a different sound, and to me is
often more than a little punchier.
BTW, Kathy, it was great playing double dobro with you the other nite with you
on your killer Randy Allen guitar and me on the 8-string National Model D.
Looking forward to being your capo on Little Maggie in B.
