I have been wanting to see these guys live – Their signature song is religious and called “By The Mark”. You know a lot of Bluegrass is done in basic guitar chords “G”, “C” and “D” — To me – just a few accoustic instruments playing in those basic chords just does it for me – Complex is not always better – Check out these URLs

While I of course don’t know the folks in this video, this is really no different from my childhood. My Dad took us camping to Bluegrass Festivals as a child and he taught me G, C and D on the guitar (playing songs like Jimmy Brown the Newsboy and Wildwood Flower). He owned a CB/Electronics store and always had guitars etc. in the store so people could come by and pick music.
I’ve always been around music like this growing up and in the last picture in this video you can see the coax cables and a switchbox along with CB/Scanners etc… – (that also has always been part of my life) as was my Dad’s.
Nuff said… These boys ROCK….
