(Meant to post this yesterday 4/13 but had some technical difficulties)
I feel like I've invaded your fine forum without paying the proper dues so here goes my attempt to make amends. Sam Bush is a tremendous musician, pioneer and innovator, and a true American treasure. Telluride could not have a chosen a better person to be the real King.
Got to see Sam last year at Watermelon Park Fest in Berryille, VA. He did a Killer Sam Bush band main stage show, played some fiddle with Leftover Salmon, and he did a wonderful mandolin workshop with Drew Emmitt and Danny Knicely. One of those perfect Festival moments: beautiful warm late September day, drinking beer and hanging with some of my best friends, and privileged to listen to some of my idols pick and talk. Here's the Internet Archives link to that fine workshop:
Sam Bush Mandolin Workshop - Click Here I did not make this fine recording I downloaded it from etree. This is my first attempt to put something on the Internet Archives so if I screwed it up, or you know the names of the first 2 songs, let me know and I will fix it.
