A Little Saturday Nite Bluegrass Div

Tomorrow is Del McCoury's 76th birthday, and since I'm returning to the Mid-Atlantic region this week, thought this might be appropriate.



The Del McCoury Band: Del McCoury - Lead vocals and guitar, Rob McCoury - Banjo, Ronnie McCoury - Mandolin, Jason Carter - Fiddle and Alan Bartram - Bass.
As an aside, Jason Carter was the IBMA's 2014 Instrumental Performer of the Year for the fiddle.

To the families of those who were lost, my deepest condolences.
