This book really brings their story to life. I love their music.
I was excited to see these two-story sculptures at the Country Music Hall of Fame (in the stairs for their theater).

I can't believe that I was there and didn't see this one!

I envy the folks that were at camp. :mandosmiley:

I thought it was fun to see my thoughts from back then.
Update from me...I ended up buying an amazing Jethro-style 2-point from Dale Ludewig known as "Greenie". Thread here.

I still love my Old Wave 10-string. It's mandola length, but I'm fine with the fel of the E string.

Very classy burst!

As I rule I DO buy everything Chris records and I've never been disappointed. So much diversity in his playing...from my favorite Bach recordings to stunning Punch Brothers originals! Such an amazing...
I'm pretty sure they played that at UConn when they played on April 24th.
