    I met this man as a kid at a Cherokee camp ground on the res in NC. My 13 year old knees were shaking when I approached him..they were calling him onstage, literally. He still stopped, shook my hand, and talked to me and told me he appreciated a young audience of bluegrass fans. 3rd time they called he said, "We'll that's me" and went and put on a hell of a show.

      Got to do that very thing at Delfest in 2013. It was about two o'clock in the morning; he'd been playing all day and decided to take a tour through the large courtesy tents. You couldn't tell that he hadn't just got out of bed from a good night's sleep. The Energiser Bunny in person.

    I love listening to Del's program on Bluegrass Junction XM satellite radio, he's a funny guy. One time he was mentioning about how one time when was going to buy a guitar from a young guy who was a real hot picker. Del asked him if the guitar "came with all them notes too!" Or another time talking about hot guitar pickers and he said "my guitar cain't do that!" Great sense of humour.

      I listen every week. Amazing how much his sons & him sound so much alike. They all are the softest spoken, kindest gentlemen too! I love how Del recalls details from yrs past of his over 60 yrs of traveling the world playing bluegrass. It's great to know his memory is sharp as a tack & I sure pray it stays that way-for the man has a ton of stories to tell & us fans love hearing them.

    The best version of Uncle Pen I have ever heard is Del Mc Coury’s. Before this I thought Bill Monroe’s would always be number 1. A pity Del’s old classic Blue Grass number “Take me with you to the mountains if you please” I first heard it back in the 80s in England on David Allen Country & Western Radio show. I am not sure if that was the real title or the song. But I would be glad to hear it played again.
