I apologize for messing with your video analytics. I've probably watched this video 10,000 times over the last 9 years. I love it just as much in 2023 as I did in 2014. This is probably one of the best pieces of art ever created!

That's what I like about this... Like bluegrass has that sound you expect from GOOD grass... They didn't just play and sing they picked and sang a bluegrass song, nice transition licks and nice rolling to match it all up. Harmony, good spread. Perfect all the way around.

This is one of the best covers to any song I’ve ever heard. In fact, I prefer it over the original, which I am also very fond of. I do not often listen to music, nor do I have a propensity to listen to this genre, but on the occasion that I choose to listen to something, I am usually paying special attention to signs of musical and artistic mastery, to which I often feel as though musical pieces may have been better if certain aspects were modified in some way. This is a top-tier musical performance, which I would say is as close to perfect as I’ve ever heard before. I simply had no interest in critique. It’s wonderful. I wept @1:59 from the blend of harmonics and instrumentation. Credit to the artist and sound mixer. An outstanding performance.

Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!! ( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )
I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.
