[@tomt9543]

It’s after midnight, feeling hopeless due to my wife’s condition after multiple strokes, and y’all managed to put the biggest smile on my face! Thanks for spreading happiness! GOD bless y’all!

[@disprogreavette8545]

From the way they play I think he already did. Have a great day Tom and may this video lead you down a rabbit hole filled with great music. Cheers.

Simply phenomenal. Sierra is at the top of her game. Fantastic. What a jam. Thank you both so much.♥️

[@esenaboxaki]

I've just learnt my first tune on the mando - Turkey in the Straw 🌾🌾🦃🌾🌾. Thanks, Teach👧🙋‍♂️

[@barbaraberry8032]

I haven't heard this song in like forever. Just crossed my mind and thought I would find it. Glad I did. Great job.

[@dakotahrickard]

I'm an amateur mandolinist at best, but I love the instrument enough that I've just purchased a The Loar LM520 to try to get better. Folks like you guys are such an inspiration to me. I hope one day I'm even half as good as you both are. I love the differences in style and technique that you both bring to the table, the way you each play the instrument in your own way and in your own character while still working together to make something beautiful.

[@dangeoopatrick2593]

Sierra a few years ago was up there with the top mandolin pickers, today she is way, way above them, she picks so clean and man her tone, it is absolutely awesome.

[@thestormlscoming]

Agreed

[@Special_Agent_NSB]

Yeah, Sierra is in a league of her own at this point. I’d say the same thing about Molly Tuttle on the guitar as well.

[@andrewkeen3129]

@@Special_Agent_NSB Sierra is unbelievable. Molly is amazing but I wouldn't say a league of her own, there are scary monsters like David Grier out there.

[@MrJRW1]

That’s some fantastic mandolin skills! Wow!

[@PseudoAccurate]

She's one of the greats, but I don't think she's so far above everybody else. Jake Workman is so sick at guitar, and he can play mandolin as well. Super fast. Super clean. Heck, Sierra's husband is also a badass who can keep up with her. So fast and so clean. Here's Jake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-9qI1noLuba9U

Absolutely stellar jam. Can't believe anyone with ears or taste would give that a thumbs down.

Fortunately,the future of bluegrass and acoustic and Americana music looks bright....Sierra Hull,A.J.Lee,Molly Tuttle,Billy Strings,Dead South,Steven Seagull,Rhiannon Giddens...Some of the brilliant young talent that makes this old man smile!!

I was a dancer in the musical drama TEXAS in Palo Duro Canyon for several seasons and I've heard, danced and known this song all my life... didn't know it had a name until today 11-25-2021 Thanksgiving Day! I play mandolin now so I'm going to have to learn this!

[@johnedwards1685]

Wow! What lovely people! Both artists and audience.

[@whovisionsCGI]

Oooooooutstaaaaanding!! We seriously need more music like this in the UK and on TV. This is pure talent. I can't stop tapping my foot to that one.

One can recognise two great musicians jamming, when those musicians give each other that "special" look and both of them just know what the other wants to do.

It´s lovely. They make space for a nice smile, joke also for brilliant music. I love it.

[@VesaGuardian]

I immediately hear two totally different approaches. Sam plays sort of slightly muted notes while Sierra lets the notes vibrate freely, until the next one comes, no matter the rate of progression. Sam Bush appears to have a more traditional stance compared to Sierra. Sam Bush has always has been my favorite mandolin player and a great singer. And here we are at the crossroads. Sierra with her overwhelming prowess of what can be done on the mandolin, and how different tones can be used are an important breath of fresh air.

[@davidhoxit4274]

Superb! That's the continuity of music I hope to achieve! Wonderful performance

[@guitarsadventure7868]

This is my favorite performance, I've ever seen!!

[@boydbc]

Sam Bush and Sierra Hull...the old and the new generation. This is definitely an amazing performance of a classic piece.

[@lukepotosky7710]

[@DubluJbluegrass]

There is lots of music I like, but I was born into Bluegrass. Lil Jimmy Dickens bounced me on his knee at my Grandmas house when I was a little one before his show at the town hall. He knew my family, and as all country folk know, that is what is important. Nothing warms my heart more than the bluegrass sound of mandolin's, fiddle's, banjo's, guitars and vocal harmony. Sorry folks. No other form of music can claim such a fan base as we have.

[@battlehrfred]

It do not get any better that this!! lovely!!

holy Smokes did you two jam on that one damn I wanted to let you know that I suffered a major stroke 15 years ago that caused me to lose 590 to95 percent of my brains right hemisphere during open heart surgery nd that did result in parts of my body becoming partially paralyzed resulting in a complete lifestyle change of a forced early retirement and my body hs been in chronic pain for years with a headache that never goes away sadly I gave up my love of playing guitar something I did for more than 30 years so KZbin videos like yours are my temporary escape from the pain as I do listen to them very loud with a good pair of studio headphones on so thank you for the great video and music that gave me some peace

[@tommy1138]

Thanks for the review. I just bought 2 of these online and wanted to see a video of one before they arrive. Seeing yours, I don't regret it at all! That fan is so sexy that I would keep it out on display even if it stopped working. I bought the brushed silver and light green for 29.99 each. I don't sleep well without white noise in my room, so a fan on low is a must.

[@MrMusicfan678]

Two of the most talented people to ever wield a mandolin.

[@windandkitesurfer]

Sierra is my mandolin "guiding spirit" - so smooth, such a light touch - that is what I try to emulate, also makes playing easier :)

[@JustFiddler]

yes... me too. sierra

[@scburkhardt8464]

Ken Jethro Burns mentions Sam in one of his musical recordings so you know he’s a mando artist. Unfamiliar with Sierra but she sounds familiar with mountain music for sure. Reminds me of an Irish fiddle player from the 90’s here in Milwaukee, WI I remember her name to be Nancy.

[@sampathkumar2287]

Sierra, lovely girl with that most charming smile! So good on the mandolin. Love you sweet kid. Love from India.

[@roadie3124]

The first time I heard Sam Bush play was on the Emmylou Harris album "At The Ryman" with the Nash Ramblers. Sam played fiddle and mandolin. His fiddle playing stood out. Just brilliant.

[@carlosgaspar8447]

i saw sam bush with emmylou harris and the nash ramblers tour of '92 in lynden, washington. still wearing the purple t-shirt till it wears out.

[@donkeninitz4590]

With players like Sierra and Molly Tuttle et al, bluegrass definitely ain't just for boys anymore. The first video I saw of Sierra was one where she was SHREDDING on acoustic guitar while a guy (can't remember his name) played the mandolin. It was only later that I learned her main instrument is mandolin.

[@chantryolsen1840]

I guess once you "know where the strings are", they must be easy to find.

Amen. He deceptively mutes adjoining strings so fast. Imperceptable. He is ideal for recommending to music fans unfamiliar with Bluegrass. He accommodates everyone. They come away feeling they have been aficionados forever. Wonderful.

[@userillusion86]

He gets a serious amount of volume out of the mandolin with that technique. I always love different picking techniques by mandolin and guitar players

[@vetlerradio]

@@userillusion86 Exactly what I thought, he does not sacrifice speed and power with that muting technique.
