Agree with the comment about why bluegrass musicians are so good. I think it also applies to many folk musicians. For example, check out Doc Watson. Simply awesome.
I first discovered Vassar from my Earl Scruggs live at Kansas State album. I've been a big fan ever since. My favorite work of his is Hillibilly Jazz with David Bromberg. SAM AND JERRY ARE CLASS ACTS TO HONOR THIS LEGEND
Oh My Gosh! How awesome! What is VC doing at 9'58"!! When you have the kind of control of an instrument these guys do ... whatever the brain thinks the instrument can do....SO COOL!! I just laughed and hooted and cheered watching this.... Thanks :-)
Who is better than these guys? I have always loved music but since I discovered youtube I think the finest musicians paly bluegrass. That's just my theory. Anyone agree, or can tell me why this is??
@ebennett7: Bluegrass musicians are generally really good because they don't do it for the money. They do it because they love the music. They don't rely on swagger or good looks because their audience are also there for the love of the music. I'm glad you noticed and brought up the topic.

These are sick men! We miss you, Vassar. You may have been the only man alive who could trade jams with Jerry Douglas and still be the shining star.
Peace and love to Midge. I hope you are doing well.
