Bluegrass is not my cup of tea, but Earl was a kind, talented man and an innovator of the style, along with my good friend, J.D. Crowe, who is now the undisputed standard bearer.

And, what's not to like about this clip with Vince Gill, Albert
Lee, Marty Stewart and others?

Ya gotta give it to Steve Martin. He's hanging in there and trying to leverage his celebrity into more recognition and appreciation of the 5 string.
