    Bill got that pentalcostal jump I’ve seen a thousand times at family gatherings with my grandparents. Now I’m the grandparent but still feel like a kid. It’s weird.

    So nice to come here and spend time listening to sounds of my youth even if I didn't fully appreciate it back in the 1950s and early 1960's. Well, anti-social media does have some positive elements afterall. One just has to take time to look for them.

    Brings back sweet memories of when I was a child growing up in the Applation Mountains and hearing this kind of music in church and on the radio of the Grand Ol Opera on a AM radio station on Saturday night at 9 pm.

    The great Joe Stuart on rhythm guitar-he has played EVERY instrument for Bill -Guitar, Fiddle, Banjo, Bass-on records & live! Even the Mandolin, when Bill broke his arm !, from the 1950's on !! A musicians musician. The originators / inventers of Bluegrass.- no such thing as 'Bluegrass' Music before Mr. Bill. Nearly ALL REAL Bluegrass musicians, like the African American Blues 'originators are gone-only 'interpreters' and lousy ones at that-one had to live the life, and that life is long gone-to me ,Bluegrass is the true white mans 'blues' .True American music originated in the Southern states, along with some of the worst aspects of the U.S.A. Lynchings, cracker racists, the 'klan',poverty, natural disasters--oh, but the music ! :Blues, Gospel, Soul/R&B, REAL country music, Bluegrass and of course ,Jazz.

    A Cavalcade of Bluegrass that we will never see again. That and old time mountain music on the back porch are dying art forms because New Bluegrass players want to inject modern themes and even agendas into the songs they write. I don't want that crap, i want to escape it and go back in time when people Loved God and acted like it. Now everything is totally crazy and out of control. Thank God above that i'm old now. I'll be graduating soon.
