The mandolin player looks like my cousin. Greetings from East Tennessee, I’m very proud of my Ulster-Scots roots!

Wonderful! Thank you for sending this. Without checking my files, can't remember if 2012 was the year you taught at the Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School? That was the year Milwaukee Irish Fest featured a number of bluegrass groups, Initially some fest goers may have been confused before being educated about the origins of US bluegrass/old time music.
