    Re: Favorite Thile Quotes?

    Thanks for that - i have'nt heard the expression 'spruced-up' in an age, it brought a smile to my face.

    Just thought I'd pop by and pick the brains and, hopefully, pique the interest of some regulars here.

    Re: Tim O'Brien and Del McCoury video

    For me, it's not a question of either Mr McCoury or Mr O'Brien being modest or likable or indeed eloquent ... it's nothing to do with my comments

    Indeed, I'm not judging either man's personality...

    Re: Tim O'Brien and Del McCoury video
