    :55 thru 1:12 – one of the best breaks I’ve ever heard Tony play – out-frigg’n-standing! A rare show of effort in his body language and on his face. He was really crankin on this one!

    good balance, love the way band lets the violin come in at 0:40 Good Videographer work. Hi 5s to the Video guy,
    he got it right as the band was Great. Good Edit too.

    The crowd claps after every break, except for JD’s 2nd one, but they all got cheers. Mark O’connnor got the biggest hand of them all, you probably thought that was for Tony but it was for Mark, they were just clapping when Tony started his break.

    Tony’s break was awesome. All these guys are great. JD is probably my favorite Scruggs style banjo player.

  6. HillbillyJ says:

    I know! That bugs the heck outta me! Look On JD’s other stuff when Tony was in his band and what people say about it. They’ll mention only Tony even though JD will play some of the best Scryggs-style banjo that most people hear on the same song/album. But it doesn’t work both ways.On Tony’s “Guitar” album JD plays some of the best banjo break ever on “Salt Creek” but its never mentioned, only by hardcore banjo fans.

    And not to mention all the other great pickers! It so unfair!

  8. ultfishrman says:

  9. HillbillyJ says:

    Blackjack is a Crowe tune not traditional as stated below, It was written by JD and Doyle Lawson for the original Ramblin Boy album on the Lemco label. At this time It was J.D. Crowe and the Kentucky Mt. Boys. They played five nights a week at Holiday Inn, Red Slipper Lounge Lex. Ky.

    NICHT WEITERLESEN!!! Wenn du diesen Text NICHT kopierst,
    und
    ihn in 7 anderen Videos einfügst, stirbst du innerhalb
    von einem Jahr qualvoll! Tust du dies dagegen, dann wirst
    du
    in den nächsten 7 Tagen von etwas schönem
    überrascht

  24. 450Masher says:

    Jerk the damn strings off of it Tony, you are the man.

  25. mandolingirl09 says:

    I’m with you on that one! I thought the same thing when I heard Rice start to play. I would also dare to say that Mark O’Connor is the best fiddle player that’s ever lived! Holy Cow!
