simply amazing...a net article about bluegrass.  the Newgrass Revival is, and
always has been, an outstanding band.  I remember seeing their forerunner,
the Bluegrass Alliance, in Beanblossom, Indiana in about 1970.  The only thing
wrong with the band was their fiddler, Lonnie Pierce.  (He had an album out 
called The Golden Fiddle of Lonnie Pierce, which we renamed, The Piercing
Fiddle of Lonnie Golden.)

In the early seventies, I joined a band that played in the same clubs and at
the same universities as the Newgrass boys.  People (bluegrass "fans") were
always coming up and saying, "You guys are good, but the Newgrass Revival 
played here last week and were fantastic!!"  That made us feel terrible, until
we played Union Grove, where Sam Bush said, "You know, every time we play
someplace, somebody comes up to us and says, 'You guys are good, but...'"
