  • Great stuff

    They quit updating this feed but you can still find newer episodes on YouTube. Kind of a bummer but I guess we’ll all just have to muddle through as best we can.

  • I’m new here…

    THE alan munde episode.

    I’m new to the bluegrasss scene but not new to music and music history and though I’ve listened and love many of these episodes (which are very informative and very entertaining), this conversation with Alan Munde is one of my favorites. Keep it up and get more of these ole boys in! Thank you guys for what you do.

  • Great guys…

    … and I haven’t even met them (in person). I just (2024) discovered and subscribed to the podcast because I know them well from YouTube and social media — great demos, jams, enthusiasm and insights, always. If I ever make it from Chicago to Missouri, I’ll definitely stop in and hopefully 😬 not spend too much.
