2001 Gov't Mule concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville....Marty Stewart walks on stage with a mandolin and I begin to chuckle to myself and joke with my friends...
...15 minutes later I'm standing in one place, mouth nearly to the floor, trying to deny the fact that the same guy who sang "Hillbilly Rock" was blowing my mind with a mandolin.
I had no idea he had the background in roots music that he does, and I still have yet to see him since that night.
I'm looking forward to his set, no question.
