Sam Bush & Tim O'Brien - Fretboard Journal Photo Shoot

Sam Bush and Tim O'Brien play "Soldier's Joy" during their Fretboard Journal photo shoot in Nashville. The duo interview each other for the cover story of the Fall 2010 issue (Fretboard Journal #19). Bush is playing his red fiddle from the early 1900s and O'Brien is playing an S.S. Stewart cello banjo.

Trust me, you are only playing music about 25% of time. People have this grandiose vision of professional musicians doing nothing but playing music all day. There is a lot of hard work that goes into putting on a good show. These guys have it easier than I would, but they still do a lot of work. And they have earned their money.

Tim has written some pretty famous and big selling songs (recorded by others such as The Dixie Chicks) so I'm pretty sure he will be comfortable with the royalty cheques. They are both two of the finest players on the planet and deserve every cent/penny they make cause they make me so happy!

@CGiordano464 If I could get through this world healthy and comfortable, by doing nothing but playing music, I probably wouldn't even care to know how much or how little currency was in the bank. I could turn my attention to playing better and better and better. I betcha that's what these guys do.

@CGiordano464 these guys make real good money but mostly from their recording,also realize these guys are at the top.they ares legend in their own life time.
