Very clever, I'm sure but what's the point? Where's the invention, the interpretation, the creativity? Without them there is no art and without art music is just a pretty noise. This music was meant for dancing not showing off with. I have been playing Old Time, Bluegrass. Celtic Traditional, Blues, Swing, Funk and lately a little Jazz for over fifty years and never felt the need to slavishly learn anything (apart from a Bach Minuet as a teenager just to prove I could).
I'd never heard of Chris until his Whiskey Before Breakfast came up on my Facebook today. Is that a D45 with the tree of life, a D28 with a lot of work, or not a Martin at all. Who IS Chris. Where is Chris? He's obviously heard Dan Crary do this tune. Love all his stuff here on youtube.

I'm 14 and have heard him about eight timed at the bluegrass festivals, and attended his master class workshop

@danlashbrookgtrsetup As SiGmund63 said, it is indeed the very same Mossman that Chris has been playing with for decades!
