Darrell and I hung out at the Russell county fair when he played with Bluegrass Kinsman. Things turned out pretty good for him landing in this group, then onward after that.
Sammy is a very friendly, outgoing person. I don't see him often but I have known him since 1981 and I never heard anything but good things about Sammy. I don't know how familiar you are with the bluegrass culture but people change bands all the time for various reasons. Don and Ronnie both started their own groups...
Yea but when Ronnie left so did the other 2 all at the same time....and of course I know about bluegrass culture but when your in a successful BLUEGRASS band you dont just up and quit.
Never heard that viewpoint before but thank you for tuning in...... I guess one person's 'boring' is another person's 'exciting'. I got some more recent LRB clips with Kenny Smith and Don Rigsby that I will upload in the future...
@@JanJohanssonmusic I guess you're right, what I meant to say was that this band needs strong lead guitar playing to be even more exciting. PLEASE, post that footage with Kenny. If you go to my youtube channel Bluegrass & Flatpicking guitar channel, you'll see plenty of live footage with Kenny and Don...incredible. Thank you
@@JanJohanssonmusic I'm pretty sure I saw this lineup at a concert in a historical church in Pasadena, that is with Darrell Webb. I remember they were teasing the young man playing mandolin and Tim Austin broke a string (cuz the way he plays so hard). Based on singing and groove the lineup with Tyminski was my favorite. The Kenny and Don lineup was a powerful unit with both singing and playing. To each their own.
I love the Tim Austin era LRB more than any other band ever. Don and Kenny are amazing, but this is closer to my heart. I can understand Boris's view, but I'm in that other camp 😎
