David, the guy has done such a wide range of music styles that you could never be bored of him. And he can play that guitar, man can he. Also he has those long fingers which I would love to have for picking. It has to be easier than my short fingers. I'm glad you like him. I have loads of his stuff if you're ever looking for something particular.
I think you make a much better top of the page person than me. :)
The second one was fun and I bet David will especially dig that one.
The third is one talented dude that looks like he could play on for hours and not miss a lick. Although I bet when he picked that cig back up it was mostly ashes. :)

Rob McCoury played the first break, Sam Bush did the second, and I didn't see the third.
But Mark O'Connor (instrumentalist of the year) is incredible on the mando as well as fiddle and guitar.
If I'm not mistaken -- this was a clip from the IBMA awards.
(IBMA = International Bluegrass Music Association).
It's obviously an old clip,
since some of the folks on stage there have since passed away.

Ok -- I see him now. That 3rd mando picker is Roland White (of the Nashville Bluegrass Band).
He and his brother Clarence started a group called the Kentucky Colonels, back in the 1960's.
Clarence later went on to help form the Byrds.
Clarence was killed by a drunk driver as he left a gig, back in 1975 (thereabouts).
Tony Rice (playing the last guitar solo there), is doing so on Clarence's VERY FAMOUS MARTIN GUITAR.
(Google the number 58957, and see what you come up with).

(P.s. -- I first heard these all as banjo jokes.
I'm not making fun of any instrument either. :)
I think nothing of telling these against myself, when I have the banjo in hand.) :P

Kathy -- had never heard of Mark Knopfler (until you introduced me to him).
I had heard of Dire Straits. That song with it's beat and guitar work,
made me realize there was fine music out there,
beyond the acoustical realm I am used to. :)
(Oh My!!! Top of the Page!!)
I guess none of us are complaining about that anymore, eh?
;)
