I’m an old man from across the pond but every time I listen to this music I regret not having been born in America, in this culture and tradition. It speaks to me in a way nothing else does. Keep playing lads, you’re keeping alive something very special.

[@chevforever]

Well said

[@blueyodels]

This music is in direct descent of our brothers across the pond, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales etc. Passed down and adapted through time!

[@MsLou-su5pj]

Caleb , Absolutely this music has its roots from across the sea such as Ireland, Scotland and other country’s. I know for sure here in Louisiana our roots are deep in Scots/Irish and love our heritage.

@@MadCapMag I think you may not be hearing the rhythm guitar. That solid running back beat is that bass. He's almost got the lead. I love the way he walks from one chord to the next. Listen again, Aiden, you don't hear this kind of slick bass playing all the time.

Hi . I'm from South Africa. I must have been born to love Bluegrass music. Loved the sound since many years ago but before you tube. No music like that here. Since KZbin and the kind musicians who share their music ....what a turn around in my life. Love the gospel songs and old timey songs as well. You guys are brilliant musicians. Please don't stop. After listening to so many other bluegrass music, I just discovered your videos today. So inspiring. I have started practising bluegrass style on my banjo a few months ago ... no one to guide me except the State's musicians on youtube. God bless you!!

[@Nevada_Dan]

You guys absolutely slayed that song. A true pleasure on these old ears of mine. Thanks for posting!

[@freddurbin9106]

You Guys are Great, I was on my I pad And ran across this music love old Country Bluegrass Musiic. I’m from Sylvania, Ohio, ten minutes from Toledo Ohio. I grew up with this music, I don’t play but have all the bluegrass instruments, I won’t get rid of them, let the wife get rid of them when I’m gone. I’m 74 years young, Feelin great, you all are great musicians. My Mom was from Union county Kentucky. Used to listen to the Grand Ole Opry, and still do to this day.

[@johnmanser2331]

Another old man, banjo fanatic, from across the pond. Great rendition of the old classic song. Super banjo playing.

Can you imagine building a railroad out in Utah somewhere in 1840 and jamming to this every evening after some whiskey and beef jerky?

Everything perfect here , the picking, the garage with the beautiful brick job and the amazing concrete, what a nice perfect job.

[@Grimhilde7]

conjures up visions of a vintage steam train chuffing along fairly fast,music in perfect time with the big pistons and drivers.....thundering through a tunnel or two and coming fast around a few bends and on the straightaways and a blast on that lonesome whistle every so often......nonstop down the line and ON TIME......!

[@jamesfloyd1864]

When it comes to this kind of music, you're either on the train, or you're not. I've been a regular passenger since my grandpa and I listened to the Grand Ol' Opry together in the late 40's/early 50's. Thank you , Grandpa, for buying me that lifetime pass. My love for the train spirit has only grown as the years rolled by, and this tune by these marvelous musicians nailed it.

'Best' is a tough sentence for a player. Bluegrass Is born upon poverty and despair. The people who really master it, have roots in that sort of life....even if they leave it growing up. The rest of us that didn't live it can only be disciples.

My first time ever hearing of this tune and I’d say it’s probably the best. You fellas should try find a mandolin in some of the parts, that would finish it right off. Either way, you fellas are one talented crew, keep on playing these old favourites. God bless y’all from Canada.

That laugh from behind the camera was one of shear joy. It caught me laughing at the same time.

[@Grimhilde7]

railroads used to be VERY particular and super-strict about running ON TIME with clockwork precision. as a public service,at certain points along a daily route,the conductor and engineer would check and syncronize their expensive railroad-approved {usually Swiss-made} watches and on the conductor,s mark,the engineer would give the whistle a blast....for miles around,folks within earshot would stop whatever they were doing and set their own clocks and watches to that whistle. ON TIME or heads would roll.....! especially passenger trains....folks were paying good money for those tickets,especially First Class passengers traveling on business who might have to catch a connecting train to their final destination and they had a right to figure they,d arrive exactly on time at whatever station it said on the railroad,s schedule/timetable.
