New Postings on YouTube


I've just posted seven new videos on my YouTube channel, including Joe Walsh's wonderful mandolin work with the IBMA 2012 Entertainer of the Year Gibson Brothers on Tennessee Blues and Sammy Shelor's IBMA 2012 Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year "Angeline the Baker."  The channel now has 561 videos we've taken at festival over the past few years. It has succeeded beyond my wildest imaginings, thanks particularly to the Josh Williams "bird" video, which has accumulated more than 1,700,000 views. Here are two of the new videos, but do take some time to browse the collection.
