Those young men with the banjos are very impressive. How can they be so good and be so young? I"m very pleased and have listened over and over. Mom and Dad were from the Ozark Mtns. Thats how I came to LOVE Bluegrass . See you in the AIR . Love Linwood Kent

vivatones66, I'm the same Elena above, with my other account - (I have so many playlists I had to resort to a second account!). I'm having a Ocoee "feast" these days, and this is the 2nd time I listen to this "episode" .. I'm wondering if you'd be so kind to tell me the name of the first song? I've heard it before and this is the version I like best!! I'm currently listening from Patagonia in Argentina, a remote area where bluegrass is almost never heard!! I'm a Canadian citizen though, and that's where I became familiar with this lovely, addictive music. Please thank the musicians on my name and also I thank you for doing such a truly great job of recording so nicely, it brings the whole experience to the listener as if we are right there!! All the best to all of you!!

That must be frustrating. I wish I could post the names of tunes with the videos, but it's just not manageable for me to do it all. But if you had the tune name, you could "Google" it and get the chord tabs off the Internet. Good luck. I'm glad you find some value in the videos.
