1. dude, you are getting too close to my home!!!!

While I was singing, somebody touched me
While I was singing, somebody touched me
While I was singing, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

While I was praying, somebody touched me
While I was praying, somebody touched me
While I was praying, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

4. Especially Rodney. Everybody in the Bluegrass world considers the

banjo players to be a bit strange, and double so for the pedal-steel guys (after all, that's the only instrument that takes not only both hands and both feet but also your KNEES to play), and here's a guy who plays both banjo and pedal steel.

The Dillards are a true American treasure. Wish they had the respect they deserve.

6. As a flat picker, I have a soft spot in my heart for great banjo player-

I've seen Garcia and Bela Flack...but the best guy I've ever seen is a dude in Central Maine, Chris Pickett, who plays with a folk band called Evergreen. It's the truth.

8. How about Butch Trucks? Ever hear him?

He's utterly astonishing. Made me feel like a kindergartner.

Even though I played clawhammer, not three-finger, but still...

12. As a flat-picker, do you ever pay homage to Riley Puckett?

He was the father of American flat-pick guitar, after all.

Even Clarence White acknowleged that.

25. Just Google "Riley Puckett." Or "Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers"

(really!) which was the band he played in for a long time.

Seminal flat-picking there.

16. Teach Your Children

Did you know that's Jerry Garcia?

He played with with New Riders of the Purple Sage, too...but Buddy Cage got most of the credit.

17. YEP...love me some NRPS

PANAMA RED, PANAMA RED
HE'LL STEAL YOUR WOMAN, THEN HE'LL ROB YOUR HEAD
PANAMA RED, PANAMA RED

ON HIS WHITE HORSE, MESCALITO
HE COME BREEZIN' THROUGH TOWN
I'LL BET YOUR WOMAN'S UP IN BED WITH
PANAMA RED

THE JUDGE DON'T KNOW WHEN RED'S IN TOWN
HE KEEPS WELL HIDDEN UNDERGROUND
BUT EVERYBODY'S ACTING LAZY
FALLING OUT AND HANGIN' 'ROUND

MY WOMAN SAID, "HEY PEDRO
YOU'RE ACTIN' CRAZY LIKE A CLOWN"
NOBODY FEELS LIKE WORKING
PANAMA RED IS BACK IN TOWN

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING OUT FOR HIM
'CAUSE THEY KNOW RED'S SATISFIES
LITTLE GIRLS LOVE TO LISTEN TO HIM
SING AND TELL SWEET LIES

BUT WHEN THINGS GET TOO CONFUSING, HONEY
YOU'RE BETTER OFF IN BED
AND I'LL BE SEARCHING ALL THE JOINTS IN TOWN FOR
PANAMA RED

The show went from 6:30 to 2:00 in the AM....yeah, it was a high time. Garcia played steel pedal in the opening with NRPS... they were all dressed in gliiter cowboy suits. Pyscoldelic or what? Yes, I was hallucinatinating, big time, for that show.
