Hi all,  
I’m trying to remember the title of a song I saw performed at a bluegrass music festival a few years ago. It had two parts that went back and forth - one lower, and one higher section, if I’m remembering correctly.

I thought the title was something like Arguing Man or Arguing Woman, but I can’t remember and it’s driving me crazy. Help!

Wouldn’t exactly call it arguing, but John Prine and Iris DeMent go back and forth in [In Spite of Ourselves](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5axlwCBXC8).

Listen, I don’t usually ride my own posts, but that clip is funny as HELL. SS fans, don’t snooze on that clip. Liza is a comic genius.

I’m cracking up so bad, man.
