I'm so glad so many folks could enjoy this show, i think this may be one of the best live videos of him on you tube. so glad I could be there to capture it
hi stranger, if you’re reading this. i just wanna tell you that you matter and you’re important ❤ i know you are tired,, but please never give up. okay? i believe you can do it :) and i’m proud of you!! even though i dont know you. always think positive and ignore the negativity that surrounds you. focus on positive side and the things that makes you happy. you are doing great hun. 😙 let’s keep going. we can get through this together. you are worth it. sending virtual hugs to everyone 🥰🤗have a good sleep tonight. tell your loved ones that you love them. sweet dreams my dear~ always smile 😊
My life has been so much richer since I found out about Larry Sparks' music. This is the way Bluegrass (and Country) ought to sound. Being from Northeast Tennessee, the music takes me home. It sounds like Southwest Virginia. Maybe that comes from coming from the Stanley branch, I don't know. But, Larry's got something else. And the Gospel songs are my favorites. God bless you Mr. Sparks.
Drove 600 plus miles to take my dad to Bean Blossom to Mr Bills Bluegrass Festivals. Great memories, as my dad now has dementia. He stIll remembers that we never met a bad person ! Thanks to all y’all!
Still as good looking as ever and my favorite bluegrass singer. He is a heck of a performer, always professional and interesting. He brings something different to the stage .. cant put my finger right on it but my bluegrass heart recognizes it.
@Moon Noggin That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
I love his voice so much. He is one of my favorite voices, along with Lester Flatt, Charlie Waller and John Duffy. It took a long time for me to know about him, and now I can't get enough.
Frank, Thank you so much for the complete show. Larry Sparks is on of our favorite Bluegrass performers but we couldn't make it to Chantilly Farms this year due to our best friends wedding in FL. JD from Buggs Island Lake, Clarksville, VA
Let me tell you right now folks larry sparks is the hottest bluegrass man left alive. He only picks the best young talent.and no one has ever played guitar and sang like this man . Right on larry
Larry sounds good as ever!! I've been fortunate to get to pick & record with his first banjo player & first bass player. Joe Isaacs & Lloyd Hensley. A lot of people don't know that Joe was with Larry before forming his family's gospel band & also before Mike Lilly.
Out of the many things I like about Larry Sparks, he can sing a song with no minors in it and you'd swear there was a minor in there somewhere! Love his voice, and he has one of the smoothest "D" licks in all of bluegrass!
@@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS Larry definitely has a vocal delivery that is unique & often has a haunting sound to it. When Larry sings a song, it sticks with you for sure.
@@huliniswhoiam Yes, Joe did tell a few stories about their early days playing in the bars around Dayton & Hamilton Ohio. He never really said all that much about Larry's personality. I've formulated some of my own opinions about that from different things I've heard from Larry's former band members, but I can't really say for certain. It's hard to understand a person without being around them outside of the music & business side of things. I do know that contrary to what we generally see & hear of him on stage, he seems pretty quiet & reserved off stage.
These guys play with looseness, creativity and flare....... when you're that good, you can play with freedom and interpretation right in the middle of the performance...

Larry and his band keep getting better as the years go by. Many other performers lose some of it as they age, Larry just gets keeps getting better. Here's hoping he has many years left of superb performances.

Larry Sparks brings real class to Blue grass.... His picking should be called Blueclass.... My favorite picker and singer....
Any jelous haters have a Blue Ass cuz they aint blue pass the blue class
I’ve always loved his bass runs. Sound incredible on that big ol’ dreadnought!

Mr Sparks never got the credit he deserved. One of the finest voices in Bluegrass...
Larry never took a professional approach to the music business like Alison, Del, Rhonda, Daily & Vincent, YMSB, Greensky BG & Billy Strings.
You bet man
@@kengallahan6541Billy strings is a sexual devient and only plays Doc Watson licks
I actually love his runs and picking too
He's got credit with the ones that matter
I love his voice so much. He is one of my favorite voices, along with Lester Flatt, Charlie Waller and John Duffy. It took a long time for me to know about him, and now I can't get enough.
Larry has become much more animated over the years .... but still delivers in top form with his soulful singing !

Came for the bluegrass....stayed for the bass player😜😜😜😜
Waaaay easier on the eyes than ole Virgil!
Great comment to let us know you haven't had intercourse and are likely balding and obese.
Did you blow a load over her?
Larry Sparks and a Billy Strings and Other fellows collab record would warm up the coldest winter, unless they playin the blues...brrrr

Great picking. Thanks for the music.
Loved this show! Larry Sparks is a gentleman and great entertainer.
WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTIANS IN NORTH CAROLINA !!!
Larry Sparks - Still the Main Man
Jan Johansson him and Tony would’ve been amazing though
@@willgreenway8862 Dan Crary colaboration with Mr. High Lonesome himself Mr. LARRY SPARKS would be best
Lary is one of the best in the business of bluegrass
I can’t believe that a rap video gets 1 billion views but gospel gets nothing! My thoughts are it is what it is, this guy is the Elvis of gospel!
It gospel songs but Mr. Larry Sparks is aftually a homosexal
His band in this set are second to none
Great band sound and vocally ,individually talented all.
A pros pro if there ever was one.
I love that pretty 😍❤️ song that's 👌 great.
The greatest voice ever in Bluegrass Music.
No, best singer of all time is BILL MONROE
