It's great that you want us all to find Jesus, but a lot of us already have, and even Jesus didn't sit around saying praise Jesus all day. This discussion has been elevated by popular upvotes, so you are in the spotlight. I strongly request you to show how your comment relates to the discussion, or apologize; otherwise people will dismiss whatever brand of Jesus you are trying to promote on the basis that it tends to suck the brains out of the skull.

    What a crazy happening in life not 1 not 2 but all 3 brothers are musically inclined and all worked very hard to be so. Amazing to see these young men playing old time instruments and be DAMN GOOD at it.. These brothers have something special (as if their past lives was spent doing just this) Outstanding to listen to in my opinion and they're literally right up there with the great Earl Scruggs he would be amazed to hear these young men play. They can only get better with age, band or solo doesn't matter. Much love to these brothers.. Om Shanti

    My people brought this music over the ocean with them from Ireland, Wales Scotland and England. This is all folks had for entertainment and the Gaelic soul still lives on in many of the old traditional bluegrass songs that evolved from our ancestor's...The beauty IS the strings and the wood. It's a purity that I feared might be lost eventually..but even a snobbish electronic musician cant keep his feet still when in the presence of good bluegrass band. It plucks an ancient chord in your soul because, chances are, your folks came from the same areas originally!
