I far prefer to have the actual disc in hand. I've avoided shopping iTunes like the plague just because I want the physical disc in my collection. I think I've purchased 3 albums on iTunes, but as a rule I wait and buy the disc. About 150 years ago I had the live at Carnegie Hall album and loved it. Of course, mine was on cassette tape and I wore it out. With my renewed effort to emulate the master, I'll be buying that one again too. I'm amazed at Foggy Mountain Banjo and so can't wait to dig in to Carnegie Hall. Thanks for being a faithful commenter! See you next lesson. Hey Tim, I’m with you!

It's entertaining, and informative, as usual. You mentioned not giving Foggy Mountain Banjo it's due until recently. I have it on my short list of CD's to buy. Yes, I'm an old guy who likes a shiny round disc in his hand when he forks out $12 for some music, instead of an invisible swirl of electrons massaged into order by Steve Jobs himself. Anyhow, I recently listened to the entire Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie Hall! CD. This is the re-released version containing the entire concert. It was like listening to an audio textbook on how to play bluegrass in general, and specifically, the banjo. The tone and timing of Earl kept me mesmerized. I was particularly drawn to his backup work throughout the entire concert. These are two CD's that I must now own. Once again, nice job on the blog. It’s entertaining, and informative, as usual.
