Moody Bluegrass is a great CD. Several of the contributors are regulars on the Telluride stage.
Maybe I’ll add a little Cane Toad toxin to the Crunchy Frog next summer to help tone it down a little. Welcome to the fun Australian Fan! I look forward to making fun of your accent!
Accent? Nah, it is you guys who have an accent! See you all there! X
Well this morning was a bit slow getting started I plugged in my Hackensaw boys and sweet petunia came on certainly got my feet moving along with a half a pot of coffee… I kept staring at the album cover and it’s a water tower that says… Love What You Do… And then I thought about the hour and a half commute I was about to endure and thought to myself I hate what I do but it provides me the money to do what I love… And I love leaving all this behind and headin to the hills to hear those strings ring every year… I am pretty sure there a few thousand people who might agree… but then again.
Don’t worry, Hooch thinks he’s funnier than he actually is. I’m the former professional comedian and, therefor, the one you have to worry about! :cheers
The key word in that sentence is former.
“Keep your day job till your night job pays”. I guess that didn’t pan out in your case. OUCH! :evil
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, come on , tell me who is gonna be playing at this festival, the wait is killing me, pass me a crunchy frog while I jump in the pool please
…
I’m loving Dan Tyminski’s first album . I recognize so many songs on that album . Sooooooooooooooooo Good!! :thumbsup :medal
My brother turned me on to Michael Kiwanuka recently; he is an English singer/songwriter and has connections to Mumford and Sons (is on their label, I believe). Really cool 70s R&B sound to a lot of his stuff. Check him out!
Just because someone bought you a beer to get you off stage, doesn’t make you a professional! :lol
According to US Laws governing the pay of entertainers, being bought a beer to leave the stage classifies you as a professional so long as the beer is a microbrew or an import of 7.0% ABV or higher. :cheers
And I’ll be paying the taxes on those beers to prove it!
I don’t claim to be funny. I only claim to be the bartender.
Through my recent Sam Bush listening(thanks to ya’ll for the recommendations) I am starting to get the Jeff Black connection.
Jeff sure does write some great songs. Including Circles Around Me and Same Old River, just to mention a couple…What are the chances Sam sings Circles Around Me in Telluride this summer? Please say “good” 
Jeff’s cd B-Sides and Confessions is a cheap buy on Amazon(used). Does he ever show up and play with Sam in Telluride? I know he’s not in Sam’s band.
Just in case anyone isn’t on board here’s a couple links of some Jeff songs, sung by Sam etc
SO GOOD. OMG

“Circles Around Me” is Sam’s “Wagon Wheel” in that he’ll play it at almost every show. I haven’t seen him since 2010 without him singing it. It’s more than just a great song; it’s Sam’s way of thanking us for letting him do this for a living. He’s had one hell of a career and he’s very grateful that we’ve been supporting him for over 40 years. You can be sure he’ll sing it at Telluride, and you can be sure we’ll all be crying when he does.
Plus the fact that the song mentions “Bridal Veil, high above Telluride…” makes it almost certain that he will play it. I, too, haven’t seen a Sammy show where he DIDN’T play it in many years.
By the way, it’s a really fun song to play on guitar!
bridal veil…i didn’t get the connection there. does it have something to do with snow topped mountain peaks? help a noob out if u can, please & thanks…i want to be fully connected for when he drops that bomb…shit i might cry to. that song is so killer… OMG
so i’m on board with these sam cds. is there another essential cd that i am missing? i know it wont be possible to know every song he plays cause i’m the new guy in town. this is what i own.
peaks on telluride
laps in seven
circles around me
also what’s up with ymsb? i checked with amazon and they don’t have any new releases. should i purchase their self titled 2006 cd and their 2003 release(old hands) or should i just grab what i can from archive.org and do the live show thing?
thanks peeps!
You’ve got my three favorite Sam CDs right there. Kind of My World and Glamour and Grits are also worth purchasing.
As for Yonder, my favorite CD of theirs remains their debut album, Elevation. Old Hands and Town by Town are also quite good, but to get the real Yonder experience, you need live music. Check out their Mountain Tracks releases. All of them are fantastic. That and archive should get you some idea of what you’re in for.
Bridal Veil is an amazing waterfall above Telluride! Google it and you can learn about it. If you are in halfway decent shape you should make plans to hike to the top. I think it’s like 2.5 miles or around there. A place you will never forget!!!
thanks again HS. i owe u a beer when i get to town! gonna add king of my world to the collection as it’s fairly recent(2004)
i’ll def try the archive to get started on ymsb. then i’m onto leftover salmon.
thanks petefrane for the bridal veil info. last time in CO we went to maroon bells and we decided to do the hike to crater lake. in that same 3 hour hike it was 70degrees, rained, and then snowed/hailed…lol
i pretty much told myself i’m done with hiking! i liked independence pass way better
i saw a video on utube where dude dash cam drove to the base of the bridal veil falls. is that doable?
I would recommend doing it in a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
I have seen a Cadillac up there, but I wouldn’t want to pay for the tow truck on that road. :evil
