@BanjoBen I had a rude awakeningā¦had to change up my fiddle playing big time to fit all the Sparks/Stanley sounding stuffā¦amazing how different the feel is on the fiddle backup
@Treblemaker Itās a great song done Bluegrass! Been playing it a lot of years.
I can remember my dad playing the Don Gibson album with Sea of Heartbreak and Oh Lonesome me over and over. That was over 50 years ago. Doesnāt seem that long ago either. Man, Iām old!
Man that was great! There are some mighty fine pickers in that group. That mando player must melt a few picks at every jam session.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Hoping I get something useable from our show on the 19th. ā¦weāll have the full band there thenā¦
Rainy day here Dave so I finally listened to your music. I thought it was outstanding. It must be nice to have the talent to hop on stage with folks and make music. Great job!

Hi Dave how come you got stuck behind the bass player in the Robert Lester Vid ?
Got caught in the rain twice at work today but each time was right at quitting timeā¦haha lucked out.
Thanks for the complimentā¦Iām not sure about 'talent"ā¦ Iāve been playing for many yearsā¦it all comes in time with some effort put inā¦

Because itās the safe spot I chose to play, and due to stage sizeā¦plus I;m not singing, or Robertsā Son, so just secondary personnelā¦
Heading out this morning to set up camp for Charlotte Bluegrass Festival.
It doesnāt start until next Thursday, but Iāve got plenty of work to do before thenā¦keeping track of early campers, setting up traffic control and parking, etc.
going to be a busy week going back and forth between work here andwork there

Rolled into home last night. Had an awesome time!

Iām hoping you have some video of the event to share. Glad to hear you had a good time!
I didnāt personally have the time to video anythingā¦but there are several out there in Fb worldā¦
I did manage to audio record a guitar pullā¦my friend Luke got to play with Clay Hess, Jeff Autry, and Skip Cherryholmes.
My recording didnāt turn out real great, but my buddy Jerry Eicher recorded it also and will be playing it this thursday on his show http://www.olhippiebluegrassshow.com/ on Worldwide Bluegrass
Another big highlight on stage was when Edgar Loudermilk & Steve Dilling had a reunion with Russell Moore during IIIrd time outās set.

Attended the last festival my dear friend George Carr will promote at Salt River Acres in Central Michigan this weekend.
George, was diagnosed as terminally ill with a rare pancreatic cancer, and wanted to live to see through the 40th year of his festivalā¦
George made it through the festival, though bedridden, and passed away last night at 8:30.
Kris, Georgesā wife, asked me to sing the song I wrote about the cabin on their property on stage Saturdayā¦giving me just a few hours to borrow a guitar and find someone to help me on it. Had some friends playing the first set of the evening and they were gracious enough to help me out after their set was finished.
Managed to borrow an old D35 I used to ownā¦never should have sold that one, might be the best guitar Iāve ownedā¦it was great to play it again.
Saw lots of old friends and a bunch of extended familyā¦had fun enjoying the music and people just as George wishedā¦RIP old friend
