Moron Brothers Interview JD Crowe

In Episode # 20 of The MoronCast, Lardo & Burley interview banjo legend and dear friend JD Crowe.

[@ViralTuber]

When I was in grade school in the mid-70's, I noticed Tom T. Hall saying "J.D. Crowe" right before a banjo break in the song "Bluegrass Break Up" on my dad's Tom T. Hall "Magnificent Music Machine" album. I remember being pleased finding "J.D. Crowe" in the song credits when I eventually went searching for it there, confirming what I thought I'd heard Tom say. His name was basically made part of the lyrics, the way Tom announced it, branding Crowe's name into my mind before I even knew who he was. J.D. Crowe is bona fide bluegrass royalty!

Look at this group!! I loved hearing about Aunt Rosa ❤ Dad looks so comfortable in this interview. I learned so much. Thanks for sharing.

[@dedwin8930]

Lucky to have a dad like him!! Your Dad has an amazing memory for names and dates and details!! Stacy I hope you play also!

There are some still keeping traditional Bluegrass music alive. Check out the the Peterson Family. They hail from Branson, Missouri and are incredible. Also, there's a group of kids in Alabama called the Cotton Picking Kids who play and write traditional Bluegrass music. They're still young but show a lot of promise. By the way, I really love what you guys are doing. The good music and humour along with not being ashamed to show your faith are really needed in today's society.

I had the pleasure of meeting JD twice..My brother told JD he was the man!..JD said "No,Earl is the man!"..My brother replied "You are like Earl on steroids!" JD was very humble and down to earth,a true class act!..His music was a big part of our family's life, my Mom, brother and I all got pictures with him,was one of the biggest highlights of our lives!.Sadly my Mom passed away about 3 months after JD's passing, then a few months later my brother passed away..Was great seeing this interview!.Thank you for doing it!..Take care and God Bless!

Lardo and Burley, what a great show. Never imagined I'd get to see a legend like J.D. Crowe tell his story as completely as he was able to with you guys, especially since you all know so many of the same people. Just great. ron

[@bdickinson6751]

Bluegrass rules! This was a great show guys! 👍 Love every minute of it. My favorite line was, "I ain't raisin' tobacco, I'm raisin' kids." Sounded like something my Pop would have said. 🤣

[@chesterraybon3442]

JD Crowe! I have a lot of his CD's. And with Tony Rice. I saw JD in 1998 in South Jersey.

[@philippirrip8761]

J.D. and the Kentucky Mountain Boys had a really strong following of UK students in the mid 60’s. They used to play three nights a week (I believe Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) at a little bar on N. Limestone St. in Lexington called Martin’s. That place would be jumpin’ when they played.

[@pl747]

Did ya'll know Bill and Ray Grant that put on the bluegrass festival in Hugo Oklahoma every August? We used to bale their hay for them.

[@howardmartin9062]

[@bettysmith3871]

[@billstetler6769]

The prayer at the end was appropriate but the vaccine that they were thankful for did not make people immune

[@marctompkins3001]

At first glacé, I thought this was Jimmy Capp. Then I remembered that he passed right after the new year began.

[@Stink43]
