[@BanjoLemonade]

Awesome, thanks for sharing that! What fun. Nice mando btw. Nothing better than musicians sitting in a circle and having fun I say.

[@jaredsmusicproject]

[@deweybowser796]

Wow what I would give to be able to play as well as you guys do and I am able to say that after 55 years of playing guitar and mandolin

[@crd9191]

Awesome!

[@maxwilliams8981]

Your mando sounded killer! Everyone who took a turn on it made it sound stellar. Fantastic picking by everyone. Thanks for posting this. If I was in that jam, I would need to wear a diaper from being so nervous!

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Haha, thanks I was also nervous. My fingers felt like rubber!

[@MrSammyt53]

Thank you gentlemen-- that was awesome! I sware I kept hearing a pennywhistle in there somewhere. Merry Christmas

[@lucylindblommusic]

[@mattschafnitz5843]

I love your playing I'm technically distantly related to Ricky skaggs and would love to meet him someday, as i play mandolin too.

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Awesome thanks, Nice, I hope you get the chance to meet Ricky.

[@willchaney8931]

Nightmare blunt rotation😂 JK amazing stuff

[@russellridge8623]

I didn’t realize Andy Leftwich was back w/ Kentucky Thunder. All of you mixing it up and sounding great👍

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Andy is not the current fiddle player, he just happened to be filling in when this jam took place.

[@peterritchie2990]

Mighty fine.

[@entanglemententropy6227]

Thanks for Sharing Jared. Your playing was excellent. For me, my pick just would not find the strings is I was sitting across from Ricky. Good on ya.

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Oh I was complete jitters! They definitely had the advantage to just be chilling, where for me playing in the same room with them was a bit frightful!

[@jamesrichardson8833]

The left, son, beautiful

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

I like when you handed Jake the Gilchrist and he acted like he didn't know what to do with it, then proceeded to play with world class Jake chops lol

[@jaredsmusicproject]

My thoughts exactly!

[@davidsawyer988]

Tight y’all!

[@Super241946]

😂😂Fabulous!

[@gordonbrackett7220]

I felt pretty old before I saw Jake Workman's grey hair. Now I feel REALLY OLD!!

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Haha 😂

[@JohnDoe-cp3yg]

Cattle in the Cain!

[@jamesrichardson8833]

Yea

[@jamesrichardson8833]

Dag on

[@micah-hooka7275]

Is that skaggs’ famous PeeWee mando? He mentioned details on that mando last Id heard him and the Thunder @ Del Valley BGFest. I think I heard him say in this video that he carved down the neck himself while doing rig time? So does Skaggs keep a small shop on that big black bus? Very curious. I wouldn’t think he’d be carving on such a famous and sacred instrument. ???

[@jaredsmusicproject]

The one in the video is a replica of Bill Monroe’s mandolin. He had Gibson give it a vintage finish, and even scratch out the Gibson inlay in the head stock.!

[@LibbysBluegrassVideos]

What day/year was this?

[@jaredsmusicproject]

August 28 2022. After a concert Kentucky Thunder did in Hartford Wisconsin.

[@richardperry6086]

I don't see a banjo in there! If you need one I can be there.

[@jaredsmusicproject]

Nice, yeah Russ didn’t get in on the jam.
