Chris has done, and continues to do, it all. I just re-watched (and sent to Danny Roberts) a vid of CT jamming with John Reischman and David Grier in the Galt House hallway, IBMA - Louisville, 1999. He was ~ 17. His mandolin playing was marvy then, as it is now.
I suppose it's inevitable that a Willie or a Billy or a Silly will take up some issue with it. It matters not a whit, to me. I still can't play 'Ah, Spring!' as I'd like to. But, I can still listen to the David Grisman Rounder Record, or Bobby Clark's One-Legged Gypsy, or Doyle's Tennessee Dream, or Skaggs' 'That's It!' Rebel Records or Frank's RR0007 and still be thrilled.
