Jimmy was fun to work with in the studio (memories of my misspent youth). Took that damn coon hound everywhere with him.
As Jimmy said, "d'ja ever hear such a jaw on a dawg"?
To: mylife
Great track. Kickin' mandolin player. I think the drums might've irked Bill Monroe, but I know for a fact that Jimmy Martin approved of the sound of "Bluegrass Brushes."

Well the mandolin was a rythym section of sorts and Bill may not have liked the idea of replacement by drums.
Trad bluegrass had no drums but often filled with washboards or whatever was at hand or voice.
NewGrass blends em all

I knew a fiddler named Mike Grove who had some Jimmy Martin stories. One involved a broke down bus.

I was a kinda apprentice engineer to a feller named Mike Stone at the time. Unfortunately Mr. Miller was also a very large daily influence in my life, and memories are sorta fuzzy. When I say misspent youth, I mean MISSPENT!

Thunder was his middle name,
White lightning was his load.
And there was moonshine....
