Yep, you folks know yer stuff!

Only grey areas...Eat My Dust (somebody got it), TV band leader was technically Tommy Newsome on Dawg Grass/Dawg Jazz, but it was The Tonight Show Band, under Doc, as someone said. And Paganoni owns Jimmy's fern. And for the $64K question...

You got it, those two were great. I have an old record done by that band Bluegrass Blend, on Leather records, has a shine jug on the cover. Simply a great LP, vocally, instrumentally - both them boys could burn it, particularly Rick, he had a style that floated my boat! I understand he has a pickin party every spring around here somewhere, need to hunt that one down.
