      Tom Keane I'd have to check, but it was a few years ago for me too. Not as early as 2008 though. I've actually got friends in the music business here in Nashville that I've turned Josh's videos onto. I can't believe they haven't snagged him up. It's their loss.

      +James Bibow -- Josh took an African song with New York City lyrics and performed it in blue grass style! To me that's extraordinary, and much more difficult than converting the Grateful Dead, Beatles, or Elton John to bluegrass the way others have done (cf. "Know You Rider" by Greensky Bluegrass, "Strawberry Fields" by Hayseed Dixie, or "Rocket Man" by Iron Horse).

    WOW!! What a great interpretation. Love the banjo, fiddle & voice -- actually I LOVE it all. These are excellent musicians that communicate the fun of the song.

    It's great to talented people playing real music with real instrument's, no autotune, no fancy backing tracks just music. It's all about money now and no real talent.

    Came back to this song after awhile. Josh, you need to keep singing lead. You are a fantastic singer. I love the work with all the other singers, they are great talents, but you just carried the song here
