I do believe that this man (Larry Sparks and his band members) are truly children of God. Would someone hindly deliver this message to Larry Sparks for me. I am Don lackey I am your brother in Christ.
It takes me back to old campmeeting days wow the times we had in them days campmeetings are not like they used to be in those we went 2 weeks today they are only 3 days you barley get started
Many years ago we used to sing at old campmeeting days and in revivals intense revivals would last 6 weeks sometimes today churches barely go a week lord help them 🙏 pray for the ⛪ church
In 1973 while at the first annual Delaware Bluegrass Festival headlined by Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley (it was my first exposure to bluegrass), I was amazed at the accessibility of the musicians after their performance and got to chat with Larry Sparks. I asked him if there was enough earnings potential in bluegrass to make a living, and Larry, without hesitation, said 'Sure.' Fifty-two years later this video proved him right. Great career, Larry. Well done.

I'm 82 y o and have played Bg genre for 44 years, I remember Larry playing local festivals like it was yesterday. Larry had Mike Lilly on banjo, Wendy Miller on mando, Art Widner on bass. 4 guys who could deliver the goods IMO. I play both Martin guitar and tweaked Dean Acoustic bass guitar.
NIce job by Larry and crew. I remember this one by the Dillards, on probably the first Bluegrass LP I owned. My old bands used to do this one. Whenever I jam with BG types, I call it, simple, driving and fun.
