I look forward to hearing the rest of his new record - It sounds so much more polished... mature than his earlier "Pack as many riffs as possible in every moment" records he made before

But those have their own charms too

I have no direct knowledge (since is was a baby at the time), but I saw my mother singing as she nursed my younger siblings, So I am confident that I took in this music ... Wait for it ... With my mother's milk

My Uncle LeRoy played hammered dulcimer. My Great Uncle Red played mandolin and mandocello (baritone mandolin - Like Mandolin =Violin and Mandocello = Cello). My Grandfather played guitar and everybody sang - After a fashion

It is my shame that I abandoned mountain music for some years in my early adult life and derided it as corny backwoods shit that I had obviously outgrown

But I never threw away the records I had

And I whole-heartedly love this genre now
