I have been hearing about Jens banjo skill for a few years now, but had never seen or heard them. I woke up especially early (4:00 am) this morning and turned on the TV. On WQED Pittsburgh there was a live performance (taped of course) by the Kruger Brothers! All that I can say is "Holy Moses" can those guys pick!!!!! At the risk of sounding blasphemous, they made so much music with a Guitar Banjo and Resonator Bass that I didn't realize that they didn't have a mandolin for about the first 3 songs! It isn't exactly traditional Bluegrass, but Both of the Krugers can tear up their respective instruments! I found a new love and appreciation for the banjo that I'd never felt before! I wish that they'd hook up with Sammy or some other high energy progressive grass mando picker and really "Gitter Dun!"
