Thanks for posting, Alex. I'm grateful for these old recordings.  Progress is NOT progress when it comes to music. You can't get better than this!

This music is far more than just history. It is the best bluegrass that's ever been played, and in my view the best music that's ever been played.Thanks so much alexbluegrass for the posting; it's especially fine that you're audio is worthy of the material. Although Earls gifted touch long remained with him, it is a relief to hear this group at its pinnacle without the limitations of the hype and clutter within the later material which is most likely to be heard today. More similar postings?
