I am really enjoying this music from this group. I have been hospitalized for 11 straight months so this music is really blessing me and my neighbour

I was glad for this old mountain tune to show up again. Good musicians led by Jim’s fiddle. Your guitar and his son’s mandolin ad so much. I always watch on an iPad - as a lawyer, I find them to be wonderful help. They only last 2-3 years; so I, have the latest big model with a great screen. The video for this clip is stunning in its colors, clarity, and sharpness. So good to see.

Hi Chuck, thanks for coming by. I'm using a flat pick and playing a 1976 HD-28 Martin guitar. Since a fiddle is very loud, you need a guitar that will really boom to hold your own with them. This one fills the bill although I trouble holding on to the pick, so I use a round plastic pick, which doesn't help the tone ...*ron

well ron, this is by far my favorite of your postings i've heard so far. sent it to favorites before it was half over. the way you pick is the way i hope to some day but i'm not a natural and need LOTS of practice. was wondering if you are holding a flat pick or wearing a thumb pick. also, which guitar is that. has a great tone and punch. five stars, be well, chuck.
