On the anniversary of Jethro's passing, hard to beat this feature interview with David Grisman and Don Stiernberg about Jethro's last recordings released on Acoustic Disc.

Here is another Tiny Moore transcription I wrote out a while back. This was from the early 80s and, when compared to his early work, really shows off how deep his knowledge of altered extensions and...
