The older I get, the less tolerant I am of political correctness, incompetence and stupidity.
Now I have another reason to like Kevin Bacon. Maybe we could play the seven degrees to Kevin Bacon game but with mandolin brands instead of actors.

Playing a Kentucky! Can anyone tell what model?
Oh my! I had no idea Kevin Bacon played mandolin. I knew about guitar, of course. Heck, I even saw The Bacon Brothers Band at the Philadelphia Folk Festival one year, and got to speak with him and shake his hand - that's right, I'm one degree of separation, and now you're two. But I didn't know this. And he plays it well, getting it to ring out good and proper. Made my day to hear him and Kyra doing this charming John Prine song.
This showed up in my reels feed on fb today. Had to share it with y'all - but I see I'm a bit late to the party. Though it's a good thing I checked - the video needed to be updated. Here ya go.
In case that ever drifts away, try these ...

Thanks for updating this one, JB. I enjoyed that first video when it was originally posted, and had never seen the second one. I agree, that’s a fun duo to see & hear.
But wait … I think you must just have forgotten KB plays mandolin, because you were involved in the first thread where it appeared regarding John Prine’s final days with us. Link in my next post.

It appears the videos I posted in this thread have now vanished, but Scott revealed in that thread that Kevin bought his mandolin from one of our sponsors: The Mandolin Store … https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...For-John-Prine

Oh, please. Kevin plays mandolin. We play mandolin. That puts everyone on the list at one degree of separation.
Hardly. That's not how this works. I've played tennis. So I'm one degree from McEnroe? Please!
