[paul29671]

Hey Orrin, what yr is that gtr? PS I like your playing bc you don't copy other players- very refreshing!

[OrrinStar]

@paul29671  It's a 1962 D-28.

[fngrpkn06]

You two sound fantastic together.

[MrRonin45enator]

Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?

[findthemonthefloor]

i think i've met the guy on the left at a coffee shop called savory in takoma park, md... not positive though. john, if you're reading this, have you ever played there? with takoma zone?

[OrrinStar]

Very likely that you saw John there; he lived in Takoma Park for many years.

Check out Orrin's book Hot licks for bluegrass guitar. Excellent stuff.

[fiddlnbanjo]

guys,,, that's as sweet as it gets,,,i loved the high harmony and the solid attack on the lead,,,& the whole song

[jojobobo627]

I was looking for docs version, this isn't it but it is a wonderful interpretation

I thoroughly enjoy this

[gtrglenn]

That kind of pickin' and singin' is why I like bluegrass. Thanks for sharing!

[dedmanroc]

A+. This video is a perfect example of why I enjoy youtube. Instant fav!

[mandohat]

Love it! I learned so much from your hot licks book when I was a kid.

Great job guys! I really enjoy this and love to play along but..I would please like to beg some help finding good tabs and the lyrics for download. This is the best Alberta/Billy in the Lowground video i found online.

[SantaCruzOM]

0:44 - 1:00 - that solo just flows so perfectly. Not too flashy, but just right. I keep rewinding to that spot over and over. Just great picking.

[gatoryak]

@SantaCruzOM Oh Yeah!

[ElizabethTalbot]

Beautiful.

[kettuantti]

Great playing and singing!

[SheerMindness]

yeah baby

[robmanic44]

What great memories of my granddad playing this and Soldier's Joy on the fiddle.

[guitarice]

Wonderful playing and singing. Orrin's tone, phrasing, and command are outstanding. I've been listening to him for many years now. The harmony singing was very nice too. Great job.

[eastshores]

Wow! This was incredible to listen to.. I sent it to my band mates.. flatpicking is awesome.. and the backup rythm/vocals are perfect.. very very good stuff guys! Thanks for sharing!

[douglas70]

nice pickin!

[PathSeekers]

That was just sweet to listen to.

[bigdjindustriez]

very nice...reminded me of Ricky Skaggs and JD Crowe together.

[kc7fys]

Guys, this is miked perfectly, the balance between the guitars and your voices is superb. It's probably just because you have a good ear for blend.

Amazing youtube tune. Come and play in Japan.

[adlegol]

He does have a little "skaggs" in his voice. Good playing for sure.

[whatsamusician]

very cool!! nice guitars and playing

[bobheuman]

Awesome! Thanks Orrin

[banjobilly32]

Another great tune Orrin, Maybe we'll steal it!! Great pickin!

[fridrikur]

Great guitar playing and singing.

Leadguitar is doing Doc Watson great justice.

The young guy playing rythm reminds me alot of Ricky Skaggs singing. Keep the videos coming!
