All I am saying is listen and make up your own minds. Cancel me if you must. Or, stick with me and the bluegrass way. Enough already!
 
I have heard so much sub-par bluegrass singing over the years--not from the pros like IIIrd Tyme Out and Doyle Lawson--but just in general. Some pretty lame singing is often the norm with bluegrass jams and SOME bands I have heard.
 
All I have to say is "tighten up" and take a hint from my closing outro music by Jackson, my son, and the Voices of the Valley Choir. The takeaway "pull quote" is at exactly 34:10. Shame on those who think otherwise.
 
I want to quote two verses in case you have trouble understanding the lyrics in the recording:
 
"We are pilgrims on the journey
We are travelers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load"
 
"I will weep when you are weeping
When you laugh, I'll laugh with you
I will share you joy and sorrow
Till we've seen this journey through."
 
See ya next week.
 
This podcast is dedicated to my friend Bob Putnam. I love you Bob. God be with you, my friend.

Nobody actually reads this stuff anyway so I am telling you that my cross-eyed sister once rode a bull moose across the Yukon Territory while playing a ukulele and singing My Old Kentucky Home. (Told ya! Nobody reads this crap!)
