I can’t tell y’all how much I’ve enjoyed reading through this thread. As someone who was never involved in music my entire life (well at least the for 48 years) I’ve never had conversations like what I’m reading. Makes me want to get a time machine and tell young me “Hey, quit working on free throws and running stadiums. Grab a mandolin and get over to the jam to learn Salt Creek!”
Thanks y’all for sharing all of this!
