    Another new video from the 2016 Bluegrass Bash. Critter's back, but on guitar this time with his duo partner Julian Lage. The boys take apart a BG instrumental standard, and put it back together...

    Re: When you started and why and where you ened up?

    Being a contrarian I both wanted to be cool, and at the same time I didn't want to follow the herd.

  8. Re: Prairie Home Companion last night with Trey Anastasio

    I'll admit I was never a listener to PHC either. I picked up the mandolin last year at age 48 with the only musical background of playing violin for 3 years in middle school. Hanging around this...

    Re: New Videos - Brooklyn Bluegrass Bash

    Tony Trischka takes the lead on this tune of his. David Grisman played on the studio recording and, as you can hear, Sarah Jarosz had some fun with that! I LOVE this performance.

    Ears are not bad for a musical instrument decision, or so it seems. Men have made worse decisions with less appropriate body parts.
