What a treasure! Great first-hand history, and fantastic photos! In particular, the one at 5:55, with Reno, Monroe, and Flatt in the front row.
I love the story about performing with Monroe the first time. He modestly doesn't mention that he just tuned up and walked onstage in the middle of a show! What a set of cojones!
Yes, thanks for posting. I have seen the videos of the Fincastle Festival and this really tops it off. Good job. I love this stuff and Don was always one of my favorites. I met Don in Darrington, Washington about 1983.
