Brad, are they filming for NPR's "Tiny Desk Concert"? I hope so. Those are always outstanding.

[BradKlein]

That's my understanding, but I don't know when it will go up on their podcast. Bob Boilen does a great job with those. The David Rawlings and Gillian Welch is a favorite. Such nice sound off that one stereo mic.

[John McGann]

Great job, Bradley, I love getting the tech (or anti-tech) details!

Noting the anniversary of the publication of the second part of the interview from this date 2011.

How touching that the previous message on this thread, from back in 2011 was from the late John McGann. I met John when he was just a wonder-kid playing with a band called Lost in the Shuffle in Boston, back in the '80s. Thanks to his presence on the Cafe, we reconnected a bit, to recall the days they'd rehearse in our apartment. That's when I learned that sitting in the middle with the players in a circle is the best way to listen to a bluegrass quintet.

Following some of the working links below his signature leads me to this video, with John and Matt Glaser and others playing with the wonder-kids of another generation. I don't want to be too heavy handed, but it's right here: Don't Put Off 'Til Tomorrow...

Time to get those boys back in the studio, eh?

If they record again, I hope they mix it without the distortion. It was exciting at first listen, but now it's not pleasant to listen to for me.
