Foggy Mountain Breakdown, one of the classics. I didn't know you were a bluegrass fan, Il Padrino. I hadn't caught that performance, thanks for posting it.

You are welcome and yes, I am a bluegrass fan. In fact, I think bluegrass is a better example of Americana than rock and roll.

Scruggs even won a grammy for the album he released with all those country music stars in '01 or '02, I believe.

Ok Venkman, for you, here is a great guitar solo that you long for. Eric Clapton at his best (and Cream sounds great for a bunch of old guys, eh?):

Yep, Scruggs is the master. I believe he was one of Bill Monroe's original Blue Grass Boys, so he's been around since the beginning. I'll have to pick that album up.

That's my understanding as well.

Bluegrass is, quite simply, fun. Each spring there is a bluegrass festival of sorts at Wheeler Farm and it is a Padrino family tradition to be there.
