    Default Mile Twelve

    Caught this young band tonight at The Carrboro Arts Center. Energetic, skilled, tuneful and hip. I mean, what other bluegrass band plays Elton John's Rocket Man so convincingly well?

    David Benedict is a terrific picker and fits in with the band perfectly. I had a chance to visit with him after the show and check out his lovely Apitius F model. Just a dandy mandolin and he makes it sing. Thanks, David!

    David's one of my favorites. I've emailed him for a bunch of his arrangements, and my dad and I agree, they're terrifying.

    Yikes! Even the back-of-headstock clip is bigger than the whole (guessing NS Micro) tuner that you can barely see on the mandolin.

    Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo

    I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."

    I don't get out much but they would get me out of the house!

    Just checking out David's full stride pick stoke on the video. How does he do that?
