    Nice harmony. Makes me want to play music again with Bob Harris (Vassar Clements lead guitarist for 17 yrs). Been doing a lot of blue grass writing & ready to record again. I could use these these guys! Nicely done fellas!

      Yeah such a cool guy -- I once got join a jam with him and his two cousins the Henry kids and some others at a PA BG festival. Agree Chris Henry has often stated that David was one of the smoothest mando players ever! Sadly he lost most all of his hearing

    Awesome performance from one of the best BG band EVER! That audience must have been sound asleep -- great breaks and not a sound from them?

      The audience noise is only being picked up by the onstage band mic's, so they are going to sound very subdued. Stage mic's are directional. They are designed to pick up the voice or instrument they are aimed at. If they weren't, the result would be a mess, as they would pick up all the background noise. If you played music, you'd understand that. Also, not everyone likes idiots hootin' and hollerin' and applauding breaks in the middle of songs.

      @@laurieharper1526 Actually, you can hear the audience loud and clear at the end of each piece -- so that is not it. Are you so butt hurt because you were the sound man at night? But mostly why would you want call all the folks who come to hear the JMB "idiots" just for enjoying the show and having fun? For the record I'm mostly a medical researcher but do play a music and YES I am one who does enjoy applauding for great breaks along with the rest of the audience -- IMO it is the reason for a "live performance" as contrasted to a studio session? If you really enjoyed music you would.... oh never mind. 😂🤣😂

      I know they played a lot of the same venues on the 80's and there are several JMB contributions to the McCoury Brothers' (that's Jerry and Del, not Rob and Ronnie) Album. ua-cam.com/video/FZtWJtGBdNw/v-deo.htmlsi=F41QSEYNoFBBiNEj

    Hi, what's the name of that song playing at 6:58 please ? It's haunting me
    Thanks!

    • @TheTimFitzPatrick
      @TheTimFitzPatrick  Рік тому +1

      It's "Blue Diamond Mines", written by Jean Ritchie. Ritchie's version was slower, in 3/4 time and also worth hearing. The JMB released a sparser arrangement of this song on their "Blue Diamond" CD, release in 1993. The Seldom Scene (with Dudley Connell in the band) also released it.

      I could never pick just three! Lester and Dudley are among my favorites for sure. So are Carter Stanley, Red Allen, Hazel Dickens, Charlie Waller, Claire Lynch, Larry Sparks, Hylo Brown, Ron Thomason and others that'll I'll probably think moments after I hit the "enter key."
      (I'm not familiar with Tony. Holt but look forward to checking him out)

    I’m so stoopid, I thought all Eddie Stubbs did was to introduce Marty Stuart and the Superlatives. Thought I knew something about bluegrass. I still refuse to listen to much else tho. Please forgive me guys. P.S. Eddie, lasagna for dinner tonite is called supper.

    • @TheTimFitzPatrick

      My understanding is that Eddie did not perform very much after the JMB disbanded so you can certainly be forgiven for thinking of him as an announcer/DJ.

      @@TheTimFitzPatrick Thanks for posting that great video. There is a Wiki on Eddie and after the JM Boys band Eddie moved to Nashville played for the Kitty Wells band and subsequently was hired by WLM to be the announcer for the Grand Old Opry -- I'm not sure when he quit that job but he worked it for a long time and of course he also was a regular with the Marty Stuart band on his slot with RFD TV for years. I loved that show and that network.
