Their version of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is still my favourite, and basically defines bluegrass for me. It's not even one of my favourite styles of music, but that track is so good it somehow seems to transcend boundaries.

 

Cheers !

I listened to the same show on my way home from work. Too short an interview for as many stories he must have to tell.
