I used to attend this festival to me one of the best festivals ever with indoor and outdoor stage. And great lineup.

[@davidcroy9072]

The vocals was excellent - Bill`s voice was really strong back then - thanks for posting , I might add that Ottawa was the best Jamming festival I have ever been to probably went 30 times or so .

The state of ohio has been good to bluegrass music

[@harrietpihera2071]

Don Reno sure had a good back up band as well.

[@archtopp1]

Thanks for posting this! I'm curious as to what kind of tailpiece Don has?

[@renoman]

It is a Gretsch tail piece. It is the same as a Paramount tail piece but has Gretsch stamped on top of it.

[@MattRingressi]

Thanks Jason - beautiful video quality! I always thought on this version of I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap, the baritone singing is just great...could it be Don singing baritone in the quartet? What do you think?

[@renoman]

I believe Dale is singing the tenor. So Don is probably singing the baritone.

[@MattRingressi]

Jason Skinner that's what I'm hearing too!

[@BanjoPikr]

Buck undoes his frog and reattaches it so he can bow upside down across four strings! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5uydWuQjZeen80

[@CPK13]

What was muted/censored at 8:02 and who muted/censored it? Did Don say something naughty?

[@renoman]

No I think it was just technical difficulties and the audio dropped out

[@nathanheil8821]

What is the name of the song after talk of the town?

[@renoman]

Nervous Breakdown

[@davycrokett3862]
