Whiskey before breakfast

[@lroccoc1]

Congrats to Wil, Robert and Brad. So happy it finally hit the milestone. I chipped in to it as much as I could over the years.

[@andychilds9167]

Still one of my all-time favorites! I’ve been watching this video for 16 years!

[@kyledrummond9750]

Been watching this for two years, absolutely love it mate

[@malin8320]

Watching this for 7 years now. Since I bought my first mandolin

[@patrickhenrypdx5355]

This video has been on KZbin for 16 years and I'm just now seeing it. Better late than never. Delightful!

[@kyledrummond9750]

Welcome to the party 😅

[@kyledrummond9750]

One of the finest pieces of music I’ve ever heard!

[@cherryconnolly3086]

Just saw Wil Maring and Robert Bowlin play tonight. Superb!!!! ❤❤❤🍒

[@Welther47]

Whiskey Before Breakfast - the title alone is amazing

[@JustFiddler]

indeed😊

[@zymelin21]

every year at the Grenna bluegrass festival (in Sweden) We do that on saturday morning after fridays picking in our cabin. 39 years so far!!

[@WilMaring]

I want to thank all the good folks who have discovered this video and watched it again and again, pushing it over half a million views. Not bad for a song that was only really a soundcheck tune to warm up on. Lets make it a million! Unheard of for a fiddle tune.

[@BarbieOkie]

+WilMaring A very beautiful lady picking that bass fiddle in a quarter beat at the very beginning. I was fascinated you could come in on key on time and pick up the tempo. Everyone did this song justice and then some. Thanks to all of you.

[@jimjim5286]

Yer visiting York in December. Might make it!

[@Thebanjobert]

+WilMaring I have a young (14 yrs. old) beginning banjo student who loves this tune and wanted to learn it. She's only been playing about 5 months, so I worked up a "beginner" arrangement for her. We're not up to this speed yet, but I have every confidence she will get there. Loved listening; great job on a beautiful old tune!

[@brasspick]

Do more soundchecks!!! LoL!!!

[@pikayell]

Wil--I'm one of those who has to watch this every so often, a mando and guitar player who just loves this version and three people having a good time. Thanks!

[@ThinMenAussieGroup]

dont know how many times i,ve played this . what lovely home grown music . oh dear me i miss my old time musical days and nights i had with friends all those years ago , mostly i just sat and listened for memory. my god i love music from opera to country there i stand being a lucky person .thank you fretboardmusic , sincerely tony lee , melbourne australia..

[@greenfinmusic5142]

I love Robert's sliding lick at 2:22, Brad's joyful laugh, and Robert's sly grin. Great stuff :)

[@katieanderson4353]

Keep coming back to this video! Excellent, beautiful music!

[@battlehrfred]

I have watched this 50 + times.Just completely amazing players,great timing and sequence,just wow. 100-100

[@lroccoc1]

Incredible musicianship and style. Can't imagine a more flawless performance, done with joy and passion.

[@kartoffelbaer1]

agreed, pure joy! 🙂

[@glennsprigg2378]

As a 'Folkie' Guitarist of old, I've heard & played many renditions of this over decades!!... But this is by far the best version I have ever heard!!!. Simplicity, (regarding the number of players), detailed melody & harmonies including perfect accompanied syncopation... Could not be better!

[@handiman5]

The best version of the song that has ever been played! Thank you!

[@DrMorpheus]

I'm another rock&roll guy who has listened to this wonderful performance countless times and spent days learning from it. Fantastic playing, y'all!

[@kellyharriger3924]

I've watched this so many times I've lost count. I love Doc Watson's version, but I honestly believe this is the smoothest and tightest version I've ever heard. Simply awesome work.

[@roger7155]

I agree (even though it's just my first time watching this rendition). The smoothest, most resonant I've ever heard . . . a joy. Thank you!

[@shirleystann8645]

Kelly Harriger Agreed. Best version EVER. Mike Cross’s version comes a very close second but this is the absolute best. 2000 of the 743k views are mine, easy.

[@battlehrfred]

100 percent perfection!!

[@evanseymour4172]

One of my favorite songs to listen to. These guys make us all smile while looking effortless doing it!!

[@icohen82]

I've watched this over and over again since I first picked up the mandolin, which is about seven years ago. I love this and never tire of it. The interplay between the three of them is wonderful. Something seems to happen towards the end and the three of them share a few smiles. Charming and beautifully played and performed.

[@sagitrama86]

Just a realization they created a masterpiece

[@stephenmesser4196]

I have no idea how I originally found this jam but come back to it time and again , I consider it the Holy Grail of acoustic fretwork.

[@hoof2001]

I thought that I'd tire of this. Never was I so wrong. Amazing

[@victorcifarelli6394]

Hands down, best cover of this song.

[@Zoologic21]

I was happy to find this video not long after learning of the song’s existence. This is such a good performance, and it was right around the time these guys were about to crack 1 million views that I found it and I just wanted to come back and say congrats on achieving that goal! Absolutely the great side of the internet. Just sounded amazing. Thanks!

[@samheller8370]

I've literally watched this about twenty times in the past 24 hours. I'm teaching myself mandolin and the mandolin player looks like he's having a blast.

[@laurelpaulson-pierce942]

SO GLAD THIS CAME AROUND AGAIN....ALWAYS ENJOY THIS AND LOVE TO SEE WIL'S FLASHING SMILE ON THE SPECIAL RIFFS!

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

Outstanding from top to bottom. Tight.. Timing... Tasteful.

[@mikeruckman2289]

Very good! So pleasing and calming. Thank you!!!

[@thjoyce007]

Your playing always brings a smile to my face. Thanks.

[@kenvenick4399]

Still my FAVORITE goto feel good tune for years!

[@danielstaples982]

It's always so nice hearing musicians playing together.

[@DecayDude]

this is so incredibly skillful

[@MainChannelTX]

I really enjoyed this as well as hearing Brad and Robert play and jam at the Acoustic Music Camp a few years ago. Thanks for sharing your love of acoustic music.

[@pacificpolyrythyms]

top notch right there..Brad is stoked, Robert's tone and phrasing are out of sight, Wil is heavy grooving. One of the finest vids on youtube.

[@michaelteach]

What an absolute joy. I love these guys!!!

[@catherinemcneil2475]

Wow! What a delightful performance! So kool!

[@RayFromLUCKYSHADOW]

That was awesome. I love that bass line.

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

***** True - Bass is super clean and solid. All of it very nicely done :)

[@Stringman1950]

Love it. Goes down smooth with my morning bourbon.

[@Papoliteo]

Three fine artist. I feel so priveledged to have attended one of Brad Davis's workshops. This was in the 80's before he became part of the established music world. His skill on the guitar is phenominal. I recommend his DVDs and lessons. Wil Mare is one excellent bass player and singer in her own right. Robert Bowman's skills speak for themselves.

[@battlehrfred]

these guys can make these instruments sing!!!wow 100-100 ty for posting professsssssionals!! thats talent!

[@aliwhitwell]

Excellent and a great balance of the instruments. The bass brings it so much together. Thanks.

[@lukeandblack5524]

This video is a perfect example about how playing rhythm good can make a song 100 times better

[@samaustin3974]

Smooth as silk! The young lady playing bass is flawless....fluid.

[@wer4skins]

Loved it loved it loved it -- listen to this over and over ! Thanks for sharing your talents

[@maddogbravo713]

Absolutely wonderful! I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this. Thanks for making me happy over and over again!

[@aldobrezenti]

Absolutely amazing playing! Thanks for sharing!

[@wesmanshaw]

Completely beautiful...and today, I am having whiskey before breakfast.

[@MortarMan199]

I can't go a day without listening to this!

[@sstiburon]

I've watched this probably 20 times and I can't help but smile every run... Well done, ya'll

[@Geocolonel]

Absolutely perfect, I`m watching this vid months again and again, the best performance of this song that I`ve ever heard, thanks.

[@bobwarren3898]

Nice job. My fingers don't do that any more, so it is great to see and hear this song done by good musicians.

[@MrYogipee]

Julian Lage......Wow

[@donnaeckhardt9670]

Yall are forever amazing love u cousin Robert (Lyndas daughter)

[@jayfotyfive]

Yes, this arrangement gives enough licks to work on for weeks. Sooo smooth. Thanx for such a beautiful version.

[@enricodaperugia4216]

Veramente spettacolare e fantastico !!! grazie.... ne voglio ancora :-)

[@615jenkins]

I don't care about the technicalities. Hats off to these musicians. Fantastic. I love it!

[@SuperBillstanley]

I could listen to you guys all day long! I play that tune with some local (Knoxville TN) old time musicians, but not with that fluidity and clarity. Nice going.

[@londonemski]

Fantastic!

[@rickhartline7883]

These 3 are the best, love em all.

[@christzaffary4304]

Excellent version of my favorite fiddle tune.

[@SThad063]

Outstanding version

[@kettle136]

Love this....brilliant! Partial to a whiskey now and again

[@pauldingess6055]

This is an awesome version of this classic. I actually like watching the players enjoy performing the song. All three are excellent musicians. Kudos for excellence.

[@pavelsupman9867]

It's a real gem for me and it's going to be a legendary video some day...

[@matthijsruhrup8869]

Slick Southern Old-time "Swang", great tone & timing! One of my favorite old-time tunes, I tip my hat to y'all !! ; - )

[@JadenTreFolster]

I love this one!

[@beniceorbegone]

Saw Robert Bowlin fiddle with the Osbornes. He is an American treasure.

[@unclepatrick1]

I can smile again. Thank you

[@akiwayneukonmaanahoa1590]

Made the tips of my fingers tingle!

[@dev367]

Just found this and it made my day. Magic! There is something basically joyful in the sound these people make together. Listening to all their stuff now, but there isn't enough. I love how they change up their instruments. And the recording quality is really good for a youtube vid, that bass is rich and mudless. Wil's voice (on a different tune) reminds me a lot of Deb Talan of The Weepies. Somebody needs to name this non-band trio jam thing so us fans have something to call y'all.

[@Jerry4usall]

You people!!! Dang, that is pretty!!! Wish I could play it....... Neat song!!! Love the way you play it!! You have my admiration!!

[@elli0tteast]

Beautifully done!!!

[@FlatlandMando]

3 musicians working beautifully together, shot simply, nice lighting

[@grkuntzmd]

Love this song. I really enjoy playing on solo ukulele.

[@anjskaya8754]

just awesome and fantastic !!! thank you... want more;-)

[@ronnieinbama]

This was perfection at it's best. The quality and clarity from all three instruments was unmistakably done by true artisans of an art we don't get to hear much of on mainstream radio or any entertainment venue as far as that goes. I'll be playing along with my guitar many times in hopes I can learn the small details that makes this great. Thank you so much guys and to the person uploading for the rest of us to enjoy.

[@krush818]

I listen to this before having my breakfast ;)

[@lotsadog]

NICE, I've played this 5 times in a row now!! I WANT MORE!!!

[@alainbouteraon5327]

La basse apporte de la profondeur à cette interpretation bravo

[@battlehrfred]

absolutely PERFECTTTTTTT 100-100 THATS PLAYING !!!

[@Centurion6426]

This is so great. I listen to it early every weekend morning before I head out for BBQ and whiskey.

[@Oviner123]

Wow !!!! All I can say is WOW. Awesome rendition. Thanks for posting!

[@greggilbert78]

Tight. Excellent job!

[@handy335]

Right outta the ball park! Great stuff!! Thanks!!

[@marc_leblanc]

I love it. This is one of my fav bluegrass instrumentals.

[@GnomeChomsky9999]

I found this video googling to see it whiskey is safe before breakfast. Turns out it’s just fine!

[@paulfry458]

Like Whisky on your cornflakes

[@volliemckenzie8628]

Great playing!

[@stinkiet]

I love this verson. I listen to this song at least once a day, again excellent .

[@fiddlingglassblower]

Beautiful. Not one of my favorite tunes, but what is done here is an inspiration. Time to get the fiddle out...

[@GRHennigh]

Grand old piece given a beautiful uplift!

[@gregarioussolitudinist5695]

you guys started an epidemic with this rousing early version here on KZbin. This remains my favorite, too much talent divided between only three people.

[@dreadnought45]

Good job. Nice clear bass playing, too.

[@EromDavi9]

that was incredibly relaxing and nothing but pleasant to hear.

[@Ruhrup]

Fantastic! The best version ever!

[@RandyHooHa]

Just watched this for the 112th time.

[@LETSgoBRANDON08.]

I lost count

[@TheTaiylorWallace]

Wow! Perfection in musical form.

[@hochbob]

By far the best cover of this classic I've ever heard!

[@TruegrassBoy]

Very nice. I enjoyed that.

[@Chalupa25]

This song is so satisfying for my brain, especially the mandolin parts.

[@trippmiller6199]

Some fine musicians

[@Jabullz]

This is a great lil number.

[@banjerstring]

A delightful tune, done very well...great for the listening..really swings along..thanks guys!

[@amyclea]

I have never seen or heard such a sweet arrangement and expertise. Congratulations!

[@squirrellax]

You guys are so, so good!!!
