@xjimmybxable They ran into that initial reaction frequently in their career. I say "initial", because that reaction usually lasted about as long as it took for them to sing the first stanza. I had the privilege of seeing them numerous times during this iteration of the group, & they were unive...

@cassiemariex18 Then PLEASE explain to me how a Polack from Rutland, Vermont EVER learned to play & sing bluegrass like THIS :)

@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 - Wanna choose up sides & have another go at it? I expect the outcome would be FAR different this round. And if you are so stupid as to think that the War of Northern Aggression was fought over slavery, you simply didn't pay attention during History class - damn Yankee.

@newflipvideos then you have a deep appreciation for Ron & Ron & Sammy & Scott & Jason & Barry & Kenny & Chris & Steve - because as far as I know, not a single one isn't "self-taught". Guess that makes them all "organic" (whatever THAT means).

@SpooksHill The song, as performed above, was originally done by Blue Highway

@luna0543 Should be about 1982, if memory serves.

@olehoundog1 Au contraire - Alan would disagree. He believes F to be the perfect key for banjo - everything's closed & everything's movable up & down the neck. He illustrated that point to me years back, in a jam session in Levelland, TX. Somebody called "Blue Night" in B, with that killer ba...

@prettycountrygal In Southern Gospel a capella, that part is known as "utility" tenor. If you'll notice, the singer to his immediate left is actually singing the full tenor part. The guy you're talking about (Willie Frank Lewis) just adds the "color" from the tenor range.

@nicksch1404 Oh? And how many "cookie cutter" songs won the '87 Grammy for Best Country & Western song as well as the Academy of Country Music's Song of the Year (same year). The song sat at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles for 2 weeks, and RPM Country Tracks #1 single for 3 weeks. Paul...

@Jonathan1162 You're preaching to the choir - I have a Maton, and I bend it with vigor (well, probably not QUITE as hard as Tommy does), and they're outstanding guitars, given the price point vs. performance. But again - he's not worried about one guitar. I doubt he's done a show lately that wo...

@joshuamjoshua Well, I've been singing baritone (in bluegrass, with three part harmony) and bass (in gospel, with four part or five part harmony) professionally for about as long as you are old, & if you can solidly hit the 2nd E below middle C (the "technical" lower end of the basso profundo ran...

@fmradioguy101 - I dunno . . . I've never played with David (and probably won't, unless he sees the light and turns to bluegrass), but I have had the pleasure of playing with Tommy at the Walnut Valley Festival, home of the National Flatpicking Championships as well as the International Fingersty...

@krae1981 Wanna tell me precisely WHICH album of Kenny's that cut's on? I've checked all 16 albums he's released (to include the Xmas album & his compilation albums), & I don't find the cut anywhere. THIS cut is from Sammy's 2nd major studio album "Haunted Heart", released in March 1993. The a...

@nyrichiek Absolutely - it's the first thing that attracted me to Dan when a copy of "Souvenirs" arrived at the college radio station at which I worked. Never heard of the guy, but turn it over and hell - half the Eagles are on there & Joe Walsh produced the darn thing! Anyone who can capture t...
