Morning everyone,
Sorry for the non-B&S content once again, but has anyone out there heard of
a group called "Strength in Numbers"? I just discovered them last night,
and my god they are great. All instrumental, blue-grass instruments
(mandolin, violin, acoustic guitar, up-right bass, dobro (sp)?, banjo,
etc.) but done in a classical style. It really sounds like classical music
done with these instruments because each player is a virtuoso in his own
right. More than once I found myself thinking that these guys might as well
have been the ones that invented their respective instruments, they have
them so mastered. Also, I heard my first Doc Watson (blind singer/guitar
player) album and that man can play a fierce acoustic, better than almost
any person with sight that I have heard. Good stuff. Well I was just
curious, take care....

Where things that count are profession, law, fashion, finance,
But disillusioned and freed I fled away alone
To the other side, the place of dreams and blessed folly." - Hermann
