"Strength in Numbers is an all-star band in which the focus is on the group rather than on individual performances. Each member is recognized as a highly influential master of his instrument. After working together in various combinations through the 1980's on each other's solo albums and on music festival stages, they decided in the summer of 1988 to unite their five creative visions. The result is a unique style of music that owes as much to classical concepts of arrangement and theme development as it does to popular concepts of virtuoso hot licks. Acoustic music's greatest musicians have gathered here for the musical event of the year." (From: Strength in Numbers - The Telluride Sessions, MCA Recording CD Liner notes.)

I was there - drove from Rochester, NY for Telluride Bluegrass 90!
I was there! well this deserved a great big yeehaw! Michele and I drove up from Tucson for this one… Peter Rowan was my highlight, got to meet him… got a really cool Free Mexican Air Force T-shirt from Pete, and he did a ReggaBilly set! Jah-Bob!!!
On Thursday, the first thing I did was go to city hall to buy a peddlers license, I had not signed up to be a vendor… The clerk of Telluride was so cool, at no charge they gave me a free peddler license for the week!
Sold a bunch of batiks… we stayed in Ouray… hot springs! Coffee at Baked in Telluride! Just a great time! On the way back to Tucson, we camped at Mesa Verde!! Awesomeness…. Stopped by our favorite coffee shop in Flagstaff, Macy’s Coffee… then back to the Old Pueblo…
I was there. My band played the first set that year.
Man, when you get going there are none better! Even when the very best are playing with you.
I remember this jam. Liked Sam and Bela since I saw them in NGR, saw them jam with Doc and Jack and T Michael…
Epic performance!! That guitar is smokin 🔥
He dropped his cigarette in it
Absolute gorgeous and thank you very much for sharing!
I was also really impressed with Shawn Colvin that year.
It was a really early show in the burgeoning career of Mary Chaplin-Carpenter also!
It's a lovely treat. Thanks for the upload.
Awesome sauce! About time for a reunion, wouldn't you say?
@@markoconnor Well damn! Mark, I gotta say, I enjoy your guitar playing SO MUCH. You absolutely hit it out of the park with Strength in Numbers...
Sweet! You guys make those strings sing!
Good lord Billy Strings needs to cover this. This has them written all over it.
It sure does!

Always liked “the New Nashville Cats” album…
It's a shame we don't see Mark get together with these guys now and then. They often get together in various iterations through out the years in deferent venues. Wonder if there is a rift that began when that attempt to get together at Telluride fell through when some tension and disagreement between band members occurred? The seemingly total absence of Mark ever hooking up with these guys is rather odd.
First saw Marc play many years ago with Steve Morse and The Dregs. Fantastic musician! I wonder…are you still living in Vista?
You know, if this fiddle thing doesn't pan out, you might be able to make some money with that guitar.
Everybody looks the same!
