Superb. this small combo is fantastic. Their picking is out of this world. Go girls go. Thank you lots.

[@jweaver9242]

Pure pleasure to hear those ladies play and sing!

[@peterpane1773]

Nothing like talented ladies having fun and making music!!

[@sandylaird8029]

A great Scottish welcome girls. Your playing is great. I love to play along with my jaws harp. I was a drummer with the John McClaren, Scottish dance band, but old man time has caught up with me, so at ninety I play my jaws harp.I thoroughly enjoy playing to your fabulous quick tempo music. It makes me feel young again. THANK YOU FOR THE PLEASURE

[@Dobroz99]

What a video of my favorite lady pickers. Wish I were there.

[@charliekucharski2079]

Love this one. They're in high gear for this tune and it shines.

[@davetoffen7944]

my dad had a mandolin, a fiddle and 2 accordians.....and played them all.......this reminds me of him

[@TwoCatsUp]

What a pick-me-up! This is some rip-roarin', dig-down-deep serious music, love it! And soooo great to see Laurie Lewis!

[@chicaahno41]

Absolutely amazing. I love bluegrass!

[@davidgreve1081]

I see this girl and her band playing this song every so often, and when I do, I have to hear it from start to finish!! What a great song. And Wow what talent in her entire band! All women. All Very Talented in how they Sing and Play!!

[@beinspiredlivelife2242]

[@garyhighley9022]

Murphy is my hero!

[@WOODR52]

These women are simply great!

[@jimharris8597]

That just made my day....! But, let me say Kathy Kallick has one of the most amazing singling voices (except maybe Vince Gill) I have ever heard. I just keep playing this over and over as I can't hear it often enough.

[@iragitlin7549]

IMHO, she's one of the great underrated singers in bluegrass--and a hoss on rhythm guitar!

[@N_Garamond]

She has a gorgeous voice. You can tell from just a few phrases of song.

[@TylerGrant]

I love it that this video has become so popular! Y'all sign up and join us for Augusta Bluegrass Week in Elkins, WV it will change your life.

[@adelarsen9776]
