Not the greatest sound quality, but fun to watch. They're playing Ralph's Banjo Special, I believe. Sorry if it's been posted already. There's more pickers too, but I couldn't name them. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I was there for that!!!
My wife and I went and she was REALLY pregnant with our first for that. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif
We sat up on the hill for Skaggs and she got sun poisoning on her neck. I don't think we'll ever forget that MerleFest. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

That tune is called "Daybreak in Dixie." The Stanley Brothers redid it later to feature the banjo, changing the arrangement slightly, and Ricky Skaggs incorporated the banjo arrangement and re-redid it as a mando lead tune. Sam's solo sort of followed Ricky's arrangement.
