  • @TheBibleWitness I'm glad you like Noam's solo. I take it back - he did play the melody for the first half of the A part. He's obviously a very talented musician, and I enjoyed his creativity. Man, I wish I could play half that stuff he did! It comes down to a matter of context and taste. Considering the song, it just seemed like he was looking to show off more than actually giving a good rendition of that beautiful melody. Sorry you disagree.

  • @FlyingTiger64 No offense, but you come across as a little arrogant. Like Noam doesn't know how to play the melody, serously? I mean, John Cowan doesn't qualify as traditional "bluegrass." He may play tunes usually played in bluegrass settings, but he and his band are very "hotshot jazz" players. Since Noam and John are both very progressive guys, I see no problem with the jazz mindset.

    I will never inderstand why bluegrass musicians think their way is the only way.

  • I LOVE YOU SHAD COBB!

  • I have to agree with you.Fantastic work!

    Thanks for sharing,

    Y.

  • wow, no feeling in the banjo though!

  • He did, but people were clapping, so we couldn't hear it. )=

  • Noam is a very talented musician... but it sure would have been nice if he had hit the melody of the song at least one time thru before going on to the hotlicks. What is it with all these hotshot jazz banjo pickers?? I'm just a good old boy bluegrass banjo picker, and I know that you play the melody at least once before taking off for the twilight zone. I did have fun with this video though... I perfected my break to the song playing along with it. Thanks guys!

  • Yes! When they were in their teens they were in a bluegrass band with their other brothers! They made a wonderful project called, "Time Machine"

    I believe they should re-release it!

  • Very nice - both listening + viewing pleasure !! Every player here makes it look so damn E-A-S-Y .. especially Shad on fiddle & Noam on banjo. And the fact that it's actually NOT EASY at all to do this so well, in reality .. signifies their skill & talent as musicians of repute !! Great posting, thank you backporchpicker.

  • are Shad and Jesse brothers?
