agree....this is a treasure. how did you convince them to perform an impromptu jam in the dressing room?

@jaygatsby1 In those days, at the Grand Ole Opry, it was kind of easy once the security guard. Inside, everybody was friendly. The scene just happened. I was there with my soundman. Just rolled film.

@allinaday have you done the festival circuit already with this film?

[allinaday]

@jaygatsby1 The film has never been a film festival. It once ran

at the San Francisco Bluegrass Festival but other than that has never been in the Festival.

you filmed this?

[allinaday]

@migasaguiar Yes I did. And many other country, Mountain, and bluegrass scenes. It was and still is my favorite music.

To Anokopoet:

What's wrong with a white person being proud of themselves?

Big difference between white power and white pride...just sayin'

Happy 100th Birthday to the Father of Bluegrass Music, Bill Monroe! (eh.)

listening to this back stage jam session sends chills up my spine.

OMG i does not get any better than this.

Todo é boísimo pero a parte final é suprema. Estouno poñendo unha e outra vez.

@bigmrclean I agree with you - I noticed that too. It reminded me of fmr Eagles guitarist Don Felder who also has a very distinctive "gettin the job done" look when he plays. (You can really see it when he rips out those spanish-style licks on the "unplugged" version of Hotel Calif.)

[bigmrclean]

There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing Earl Scruggs back in the day and his head get to moving and nodding side to side or back and forth...That pretty much means he's "Gettin' the job done"

I worked with John Hartford for a while in the 80's and was introduced to the bluegrass scene bigtime. Impromptu jamming in the dressing room happens all the time. Even local bluegrass acts will play in the dressing room until it's time to go onstage. A real love of the music.

I thought the blugrass piano was a hoot in "9 Pound Hammer."
