    The precision, speed, and ease at which they play and harmonize together, especially considering this is a one-off of sorts, is nothing short of remarkable. Experiencing this live would be nothing short of magical and revelatory. Just wow.

      Even more so considering that, despite this being fast, clean, and impressive, it’s still only like 1st gear for these two Ferraris.

And I see so many young people who are exhibiting similar skills cropping up world wide that I am led to believe they were sent to appease the tension that results when the worlds leaders can’t resolve their differences. They might come to terms quickly if they would inundate themselves with some good folk music 🪕🪗🎻🎷😎Blessings to all of those afflicted by war and also to our Russian brothers who have risked everything to speak out against this war ✌️🤝

    The first things I remember in music now at 70 are akin to this. You... I celebrate this. I play. And they say, how can you strum like that? 60+years, that's how. Like life-breath itself. I saw your joy, and if felt your work from 5 or 6, you and Billy and Justin... my Daddy and his Daddy and me in basements and back yards, cornfields, yes, all of it. I am so grateful for all of you. And trust me, I'm not near done at all. Just old enough to know that all those, gone on before, are proud of you to keep bluegrass heritage, and more alive and not just healthy, but, dang, kickin' to beat the band! You can tell, I'll never stop pickin'. Drop a hat... we'll play!!!
