Ricky Skaggs and the Boston Pops: "Road To Spencer"

Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs with the Kentucky Thunder performs with the Boston Pops Orchestra. I wrote the orchestrations for them. You don't often hear a bluegrass group with an orchestra, but I think it turned out pretty well!

This banjo solo is unbelievable!

I heard Ricky say that he was concerned that after Bill Monroe died there would be no one to pick up the torch of bluegrass. Myself, I think the torch has been passed.

Phenomenal Job there Mr. Skaggs, and you too, quantumdave.

His players are so awesome and yet they are so young. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have talent like that in your 20's.

@CRAWF0RDBURNS1 Damn right! Jim Mills is the freakin' man, and this break sure pulls out a lot of his drive.
