I saw these guys in Greensboro NC back in early 80's. I was just starting to play and these guys became a big influence.

As great as brother Bryan is, what makes this just about the best version ever of this tune is the great, great arrangement. No one else in bluegrass history ever worked out such elaborate arrangements of fiddle tunes as these three, but for all the complexity, they swing like there's no tomorrow!

I just saw a tape last night on KET where they performed this in Owensboro Ky at the Romp Festival. It is scary good!

Nobody plays "Forked Deer" better than Byron Berline on the fiddle.
