I love it, and these guys are incredible musicians.

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder - Get Up John

Regardless if you're a bluegrass fan or not, you've got to admire their skills.

To keep this thread going, I'd love to know some of y'all's personal favorites . . .

Born and raised in Bluegrass Country (i.e. Kentucky). It’s kind of in our blood. Just to drop names; Sam Bush is one of my wife's cousins. Never met the man but I’ve seen him play a couple of times. Amazing talent.

Ricky Scaggs is one of the best "pickers" out there. He married one of the Whites and went gospel on us. So now,

unless your into gospel, you just don't hear much from him.

Another great player is Eddie Adcock. An "old timer" that could make a 5 string banjo sound like a guitar. One of

the very best!

I forgot to mention a local band called Seldom Scene. The latest group of guys is nothing like the original band

but still very good musicians none the less.

Jerry Douglas is another 'one of a kind' musician that when he plays his dobro can literally take your breath

away.....

I like this version better. Same artist, but they let loose here at this concert. Plus, they added Allison Krause on Fiddle, too . . .
