High Sierra Music Festival. Middle of the day. I had been feeling grrrreat all day and decided to lay in the grass at the main stage. Found a spot of shade and Del and the Boys took the stage. I didn't lay down for much long. Got my self up close and got to watch these guys just play and play all around a mic or two. Mixing with proximity. Hot damn! It was awesome. LIfe changing. Bought a mandolin, been strumming great ever since. The voice is just one of those things. Makes me smile every time
The A.C.L. special was the first time I saw Del and the boys and I was floored! Jaw dropping musicianship and tons of fun. It really made me into a bluegrass fan, rather than just a casual admirer. :)
3 people prefer the Lovin Spoonful..and they're right. But c'mon The lovin spoonful made this shit!

Hard to believe this is a "cover". Comes off like a Del McCoury original. Great job!

@Virginialogging: Actually Flatt&Scruggs sang the first version in 1965.

@RedneckDrow1991 Flatt & Scuggs sang it in 1967. The Lovin' Spoonful sang it first, it's their song.

it would have been nice if they'd have given credit to the writer and originators of this song. John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful 1966.

@Virginialogging Yeah...normally it seems perfectly reasonable to not mention, but the way he introduces it it implies it's their song. Not cool.

This is how music should be. You can't help but smile while listening to Del and the boys.

So what happened to Mike Bubb? What's the real story? All Del would tell me was that "it was time for Mike to go".
