I know its pretty bad, I couldn't resist. It's not what I'd refer to as a "laughing" joke...

orrect me if I'm wrong here, but the YMSB song 'Two Hits and the Joint Turned Brown"; isn't that a Stanley cover?



Yea right. Earl Scruggs wrote Two Hits. Obviously you need to brush up on your bluegrass histroy.

That Steve Earle/Del McCoury album is a classic for sure.

And Del does a great job on Vincent Black Lightning. Buy my favorite Del song is:

"Blue Darlin'"

(Written by Louisiana's Jimmy C. Newman"

I like Leftover Salmon, OCMS, and Bela Fleck. All 3 sing different versions of bluegrass.

I love bluegrass. I'm a halfway decent banjo picker but haven't played in 12 years. May I recommend Old and in the Way, a band with Vassar Clements, Jerry Garcia and a couple other guys. First album was self titled and released in 1973.

Saw my first YMSB show Jan 2001.

Still prefer Railroad Earth, but it's a different sound for sure.

I am a big fan of Leftover Salmon. They get away from the bluegrass sound a little at times because the fiddle player plays electric guitar and other instruments but there's always a banjo going. Bad arse show.

Listen to "Iron Horse" on Pandora, tons of great bluegrass covers...


Iron Horse is great way to get into bluegrass you know a lot of the song plus they are really good

So how many other pickers do we have on here I can do ok on mandolin and guitar working on the fiddle and do a little on dobro and banjo
