joe Frontierro: You have excellent hearing! Her laugh is wonderful, as well.

Jeff Tappan: Probably won't happen, but "their paths have crossed." A fiddle-playing champion but still very young and pre-fame, Alison stepped into the Vincent family band (Sally Mountain Band) void when Rhonda went solo in about 1992. Rhonda told me that Alison even wore some of her clothes. I wish KZfaq allowed photo attachment - I would share a photo of the two of them waiting to go on stage. Neither one of them looks thrilled. :-)

It's a big club. I've loved her since 1992, when I happened to catch (on VHS tape) her singing the country version of this same song. She made 3 country albums before coming home to Bluegrass. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zsuio5OG26y3Y3k.html

This is a very good job on this song there is no one that does it like that very good 😁

i love rhonda but i think alison krauss is bluegrass queen

Ziva-millz Uoka. I respectfully disagree. Alison Krauss has switched her style so much over the years. Rhonda has stuck to her roots and is the queen of bluegrass.

Bill Tate glad to meet another fan that actually knows what he is talking about !!!!

I concur

Joey C: And it was Rhonda playing that Dobro - I asked her, no editing trick. Now she has a son-in-law with a college degree behind his Dobro playing. If you watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLpyjbx0mpapk40.html you'll find a radically different tempo, but Brent was gracious enough to give me a private performance of "End of the World," and it gave me goosebumps just like Pete Kirby's playing does. Also, an author's note about the video if you watch it: my close-up camera had something weird going-on and made Aaron's $150,000 banjo look out-of-round, along with broadening everything else - noticeably Rhonda's legs, so I limited the close-ups because of that. :-)

+Reiffan well its not what they are playin on the so-called country stations now days

I am not aware of any real country music on the radio.

Dixieland Jazz would be the only thing to come close.

Can't argue with you there, my friend.

Hey Cuz..................Wish I could see her too :) Take care!

+KingCake I know! That's the only time I've seen her play one. Now she has a son-in-law in her band to play dobro - Brent Burke, who has a B.A. in Bluegrass, Folk and Old Time Music. He's a great guy, and can play "The End of the World" just like Pete Kirby did.
