Well, a group that's been around for 20 years may not qualify as "young" these days, but it's introducing a whole new generation of young hipsters to some great music. The circle is complete, and hopefully will remain unbroken. In both the New and Old Worlds.

Not bad for some Brits. An old friend of mine cut a bluegrass album after his wife died, he's apparently joined a band since then, you can find them on youtube, search for mirror image bluegrass. My friend is the mandolin player.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your eclectic music tastes. Off to Amazon, again to make a purchase.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the Charles River Valley Boys with Joe Val when you were in the Boston area?
By the way, I just received my Samuel Ramey disk, and it is autographed, too! Thank you for that introduction.
ccbpc, that's pretty cool.
ReplyDeletelibertyman, they used to be more eclectic - I'd post "Modern Monday' about what the youngsters are listening to. Alas, I got all of that from the kids, and now they listen mostly to pop.
Never saw the acts you mention. Didn't get out much. But I'm glad you like the music!
