Drove 600 plus miles to take my dad to Bean Blossom to Mr Bills Bluegrass Festivals. Great memories, as my dad now has dementia. He stIll remembers that we never met a bad person ! Thanks to all y’all!

Larry Sparks brings real class to Blue grass.... His picking should be called Blueclass.... My favorite picker and singer....

[@CrystalFang-cy2cw]

Any jelous haters have a Blue Ass cuz they aint blue pass the blue class

[@dionst.michael1482]

I’ve always loved his bass runs. Sound incredible on that big ol’ dreadnought!

[@lulatodd2147]

I love his voice so much. He is one of my favorite voices, along with Lester Flatt, Charlie Waller and John Duffy. It took a long time for me to know about him, and now I can't get enough.

[@jamesbattiest3885]

Larrry you is a great picker you your band my favorite bluegrass band in the world keep up the great pickinlove you guys thank God for your faith God yuo guys

[@haroldcox2382]

Lary is one of the best in the business of bluegrass

[@jamesbattiest3885]

I love brother larry because is a God fearing christainbut he sure can pick

[@SamFugarino]

My life has been so much richer since I found out about Larry Sparks' music. This is the way Bluegrass (and Country) ought to sound. Being from Northeast Tennessee, the music takes me home. It sounds like Southwest Virginia. Maybe that comes from coming from the Stanley branch, I don't know. But, Larry's got something else. And the Gospel songs are my favorites. God bless you Mr. Sparks.

[@markcox7497]

Mr Sparks never got the credit he deserved. One of the finest voices in Bluegrass...

[@kengallahan6541]

Larry never took a professional approach to the music business like Alison, Del, Rhonda, Daily & Vincent, YMSB, Greensky BG & Billy Strings.

[@leonardodigiacomo4750]

You bet man

[@dionst.michael1482]

I actually love his runs and picking too

[@Blueridge1]

He's got credit with the ones that matter

[@diamondblue5327]

The greatest voice ever in Bluegrass Music.

Still as good looking as ever and my favorite bluegrass singer. He is a heck of a performer, always professional and interesting. He brings something different to the stage .. cant put my finger right on it but my bluegrass heart recognizes it.

[@larrysparks897]

@Moon Noggin That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶

Larry has become much more animated over the years .... but still delivers in top form with his soulful singing !

[@leonardodigiacomo4750]

Thanks for sharing this Frank

[@mitzioden4926]

Loved this show! Larry Sparks is a gentleman and great entertainer.

[@JeanneBlankenship-b2t]

That was areal heartfelt introduction ❤

[@kevinblackmon6990]

Let me tell you right now folks larry sparks is the hottest bluegrass man left alive. He only picks the best young talent.and no one has ever played guitar and sang like this man . Right on larry

[@irenehall4334]

[@keeganbluegrass]

He harkens me back to the era of when bluegrass was really bluegrass.

[@coolhandluke2310]

Great picking. Thanks for the music.

[@redlinemando]

Larry sounds good as ever!! I've been fortunate to get to pick & record with his first banjo player & first bass player. Joe Isaacs & Lloyd Hensley. A lot of people don't know that Joe was with Larry before forming his family's gospel band & also before Mike Lilly.

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

Out of the many things I like about Larry Sparks, he can sing a song with no minors in it and you'd swear there was a minor in there somewhere! Love his voice, and he has one of the smoothest "D" licks in all of bluegrass!

[@redlinemando]

@@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS Larry definitely has a vocal delivery that is unique & often has a haunting sound to it. When Larry sings a song, it sticks with you for sure.

[@bluegrasscountryradio8806]

hi

[@huliniswhoiam]

Did Joe have any stories about Larry? I'd like to know what kind of guy he was. He seems really personable

[@redlinemando]

@@huliniswhoiam Yes, Joe did tell a few stories about their early days playing in the bars around Dayton & Hamilton Ohio. He never really said all that much about Larry's personality. I've formulated some of my own opinions about that from different things I've heard from Larry's former band members, but I can't really say for certain. It's hard to understand a person without being around them outside of the music & business side of things. I do know that contrary to what we generally see & hear of him on stage, he seems pretty quiet & reserved off stage.

[@SamFugarino]

Larry will always be my favorite.

[@dionst.michael1482]

Me too! Been listening for almost 40 yrs! Always been my favourite! Feels like yesterday riding around with my Dad in the backseat of the family car.

Larry and his band keep getting better as the years go by. Many other performers lose some of it as they age, Larry just gets keeps getting better. Here's hoping he has many years left of superb performances.
