Old School Freight Train is my favorite band. Nate really kills this solo on the fiddle. Very cool Randy Newman song too.
Pete Frostic is an awesome mandolin player as well. He writes some pretty cool tunes.

Only kidding, this has been a great thread and You Tube should have an official Mandolin Cafe page!

They are indeed pretty far out there. They also do "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - it's almost too straight ahead to be funny - and a bunch of others. Paul Anka did a Vegas-style big band version that is a real scream. And also actually good. Still looking for that.
Also, there's the Conan O'Brien show on which Isaac Hayes and his band, along with the Max Weinberg 7, did a take-off on "Shaft" all about Conan. It's one of the best musical performances I've ever seen on a talk show, and the late Isaac Hayes' direction was true genius. It was originally broadcast on Christmas 2005, and they rerun it every year about Christmas. Keep an eye out for it. NOT on youtube (NBC) nor even hulu.com - I don't think NBC is allowing any Late Night clips there any more now that he's on The Tonight show.
