These songs, Log Cabin in the Lane and Shout Lula, keep playing over and over in my head. Wade is one of the greatest!

@Fozzymaple , its not about putting anyone on a pedestal, as you might think: but THIS man, and maybe flatt & scruggs and bill monroe DESERVE to stand on a musical pedestal and the higher t the admiration you feel for a great one, the MORE you will respect his art and the better you will get at it you yourself if you aspire - its not about making a cult but in our unbelieving times to have known the music of such a man brought me closer to heaven.

My grandpa was born in 1888 he owned a banjo like this man is playing , he made and repaired violins and played the banjo. People don't play this kind of music anymore! My parents called this music foot stomping music. They called it this because you just can't sit still even when you are sitting. It's a shame when musicians like this pass on because too often their music dies as well.... I love this kind of music... RIP Mr. Mainer...

Sitting on David's right as he makes the introduction sits the late Don Stover, or his twin brother!!

@buchananstreet I didn't really mean any disrespect to Mr. Mainer. I was trying to convey the point that Mainer is quite aged. I don't believe on putting any musicians up on a pedestal, it makes it much harder to learn what they have to offer.
