Absolutely awesome!

if you think the guy with the yamulke is the only Jew in bluegrass you better not have a pig roast at a bluegrass festival !!!

I don't normally listen to bluegrass, but this is one heck of performance.

Sure would like to know who the fiddler from Kentucky Thunder was! I'd like to hear more from him. He makes it look so easy! The two Cherryholmes fiddling kids are great too. I've followed the Cherryholmes family since their debut at Huck Finn Festival years ago.
Andy Statman composed the beautiful Flatbush Waltz - he is brilliant!

What is wrong with that?

Does anyone else find a woman on a violin (viola) just darned sexy?

andy statman is an observant jew who plays mandolin and clarinet amazingly. i really respect him for sticking to his observance: he won't perform/play or travel oh the sabbath (friday night-till sat sundown). i met him once. he loves all kinds of music from bluegrass to jazz. a really sincere guy who is devoted to G-d first.
The Jewish Guy on mandolin is Andy Statman. The other mandonlinists on that stage would admit in a heartbeat that he is the greatest mandonlin player in the world. He trained himself in Bluegrass mandolin as a teenager and was considered one of the greatest even back then. He then trained himself on woodwinds, and even studied with Adolph Sandole, who taught John Coltrane.
In his 20's he became interested in Klezmer music, which led him to become a Hassidic Jew. Google him.

fighting about which genre of music is worse is a waste of time!
listen to what u want, and don't tell others what to listen to!
if u don't like it, get da fuck outta here!
