Thanks for sharing this fine music

Gladdens the heart to hear Kenny. The best fiddler ever and one of the finest men I've known. Always took time at jam sessions to show the new ones commin' along some bow lessons. I miss him.

Hi, Michelle, Thanks! It wasn't trouble, but instead a labor of love. You were fortunate to have been there, and to have a close relationship with Kenny. I couldn't figure out the exact sequence, but I hoped it wouldn't matter much. Josh was the Mt. Everest of Dobro players, and I also think extremely highly of Kenny. I have a few more of these collections to post, and hope that the song order won't be a big factor. And thanks for making them available to the public to begin with!

+James Stiltner Hi, James, Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I'd love any uncut shows you're open to sharing. I really enjoy the banter between songs (Josh's was great) and when possible, I like to include it. I'd appreciate any and all of his music -- there's not enough out there. I'm on FaceBook as Bill Bader. BTW, Josh's presence is on "Three Bells", the Auldridge/Douglas/Ickes collaboration: the liner notes give thanks for the loan of Chet, Josh's Dobro.

The first 'un is Festival Waltz. Never heard it played this fast before.

[@WGBader]

Thanks for the correction. Sometimes it seems like Josh and Kenny were linked telepathically. Brilliant!

[@1930Granada]

WG Bader No problem. Just a student of bluegrass.
