Guess this is the place to post this, I'm still pumped up about it, but this past Friday night starting at : 7:15 and ending Saturday morning at 3:15 was one of the highlights of my picking life. I had some pickers I've known for some time all together in my home for the first time and all of them are good enough to be picking pro with anybody, and we flat out made some of the best Bluegrass music I've ever had the honor of helping make. Twin fiddles, singing, banjers, guitars, mandolin, bass fiddles, all of it was GREAT. I believe we did Mr. William Smith Monroe proud. We didn't play one song that was done by anybody else, but Mr. Monroe, early Flatt and Scruggs, Jim And Jesse, Reno and Smiley, Mac Wiseman, Lilley Brothers, Stanley Brothers, gosh it was awesome ! I got it all digiatlly recorded, been listening to it today, man I been picking since 1965 and have jammed with several pro musicians over the years, none of them any better than what was in my living room Friday night. I am one lucky individual. I know this won't mean squat to most if any of ya'll but I just had to post it. If I could pick with folks like that every week I believe it would cure me of every health issue I have. Thank God for having friends and musicians like that , that were willing to come together in my home. I'll never forget it as long as I live ! Ya'll have a blessed day.
