  2. When was the last time you saw a black string band? From what I understand, they're one of only two full-time black string bands in the world. But this girl can sing like nothing I've ever heard. And did you see her clog dance in that one video? She puts Jed Clampett to shame! They were on a PBS special tribute to Johnny Cash in August and brought the house down with their version of Jackson. I think they're gonna be huge!

  3. Spot of the Great Dead feelings here. It's so lovely. Oh, you'd be surprised what's out there Bill. A world full of wonderfully talented folks, singing, dancing and blowing people's minds. Thanks for blowing my mind with this round. What a glorious fun bunch.

  5. Actually I'm watching that right now Rico. I spotted it yesterday but didn't have time to watch the whole thing till now.

    Oh, and as a word of encouragement I should mention that these folks met on a Yahoo music message board.
