That sounds like a Charlie Daniels song.

Like half of modern bluegrass comes out of Colorado. The bands in the third and fourth videos are from your state. (Hot Rize and Leftover Salmon.) Telluride is the home of one of the oldest and probably the largest annual bluegrass festival. Next summer will be the 50th.

I just thought it was a funny hillbilly clip. I'm not originally from CO. And all I know about Telluride is they have a ski resort, :bigjoint:. Haven't been there myself yet. Where are you from again? I keep forgetting for some reason,:eyesmoke:.

And I like some of hillbilly shit. I grew up watching the Duke Boys.

Appalachia. It has always been odd to me how the bluegrass scene is half hillbilly half hippie. Jerry Garcia was a big influence. Old & In the Way was a group he started in the early 70s. He was originally a jug band banjo player before the Grateful Dead.

I posted this on FB couple of months ago:

"I've respected bluegrass since I was at a music fest and a hellacious storm hit that made the jam band stop playing and retreat. People were running around in maybe the most chaotic scene I've ever witnessed, and standing under a little tarp pavilion was a bluegrass band picking away and singing like nothing was going on.

Shortly afterwards a guy rode a keg like a bull in a pond during an insane lightning storm. Also some drunk middle aged dirtball was recklessly doing donuts in front of the stage in his Chevy pickup. He told us to hop in the bed, but we declined. We ended up hunkering down in a tent thinking we were going to die in a tornado that we thought we saw forming. We were like 17 and on strong acid throughout all of this. It was a wild time."
