My absolute privilege to have this famous family band from Missouri, USA to stop by at my place in between their gigs at the Shannonside Festival and I got to sing with them & tried a bluegrass number! They're incredible

Really Robert? dead inside? what a terrible thing to say. I personally do not like blues--good musicians but I didn't like it all that much until it speeded up, then it sounded better, but not all that great... Different people like different things--your likes are not the standard for anyone but yourself. Can you understand this?

Ger o Donnell and the Petersens are a harmonious combination. it sounds fantastic. the slow part is wonderfully accompanied by Emmetts Dobro, which makes the whole thing perfect. in the fast part, the banjo is the leading part and played nicely. Ger o Donnell also has a very nice voice with a vibrato that no one can imitate so quickly.
