Classic Peter Rowan

 

[TurtleDude]

this guy was actually a camp counselor at a camp I went to in Jackson Hole about forty years ago. I last saw him on my way to the Olympic trials. I was waiting in St Louis for a flight and he was playing his guitar at a gate waiting for plane to join up with John Denver in Colorado. We each wished the other guy good luck he came to cincinnati a few times but I was either unable to attend or was out of town. He goes between country and bluegrass and folk.

 

[Thom Paine]

Cotton Eyed Joe was once thought to be the Texas National Anthem :lol:

Risky, I've had a mad musical crush on Ricky since the mid-'80s and also The Whites. Love them. Love bluegrass gospel too--Doyle Lawson (on Ricky's label) and the Forrester Sisters.

Meanwhile, here's Bela Fleck with Earl Scruggs:
