Hi Dana. I would say that at some point, it does make sense to teach this song, despite my aversion to it…
I have several partner teacher recording sessions lined out in 2016, but I’ll add this song to my list as something to record in the future.
In the mean time, have you looked at the basic and advanced hokum bowing exercises?? I cover the chorus to OBS in those lessons. Maybe you can get some tips there which will help.
