The first of two sets Jethro did at Adler House (Libertyville, Illinois) on March 1st, 1985. Jethro is joined by Don Stiernberg (mandolin) and John Parrott (guitar).
I was lucky enough to meet Jethro in the mid 70"s. He was a really nice guy and his humor would sometimes come at you from left field. He sat and played for me and a friend between shows at a recreational vehicle show. Of coarse we had all of his records and knew all of his songs. What a day!
Jethro was 65 years old in this video. I sure hope I can play that fast when I'm that age. That does not give me very long to quadruple my current speed.

I find myself at a complete loss to describe how great this is.
How can something be so sophisticated and so down to earth at the same time? Pure genius.
