Hi Brian. Were you at the second show? I saw the first. I agree.. it was a real treat! I especially went to see JD Crowe, and I wasn't diappointed. Bobby Osborne sounds just like he did on his records too. I love the vocal harmonies but just didn't care for the slower tunes/gospel songs. Crowe rocked Flint Hill Special and Old Home Place. That was the highlight for me. He still plays all those neat up the neck riffs in his backup that he makes look and sound like a piece of cake but are actually quite complex for banjo.
Dean Osborne was good on the banjo; I guess he is a cousin. His guitar player was really ham-fisted though IMHO.
