[@KeelyBurnMusic]

This is one of the longest song intros I've ever heard, but also one of the funniest! Great job capturing the whole thing.

[@butterfly.933]

I LOVE this song. Talk about a lyrical gangster!!!

[@bustedfender]

That mando is an absolute cannon.

[@monologtube]

That tune at the end is "Eureka!"

[@nathanhamer8987]

"Every day" hahaha

[@gabrieleselva352]

what instrument is that?

[@markgottlieb6775]

That is a Gibson F5 Lloyd Loar mandolin circa 1923 or so. It seems to have become the preferred stage instrument of top mandolinists, of whom Chris is penultimate.

@@markgottlieb6775 ok. so who is the ultimate?

[@bustedfender]

It’s called a Chris Thile, he’s being played by that wooden object with the strings.
