Earlie, I like the "high lonesome" sound. There aren't many new groups trying it. The last to make a go of it was "Old and In The Way," and they only achieved moderate commercial success because Jerry Garcia played banjo for them. Funny story, at least to me. These 5 guys got together to form the band and the elder statesman was Vassar Clements, who once played Fiddle for Bill Monroe. Garcia played banjo and they had a nice sound. They got booked in San Francisco, big surprise, and as they drove to the gig, they passed a billboard advertising a Grateful Dead album. Vassar Clements took a look at that, and said, "Garcia, that dude looks just like you." <g> He had never heard of The Grateful Dead. MB
