Musings of a bemused and bewildered junker who spends much time prowling for bargains in the finest of used merchandise in order to resell at the finest local booth establishments. Plus, rambly posts about the other things that make up life: comics, movies, music, politics, soap operas, gardening, home improvement, traveling, shopping, and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Roll on!
So many things to love about that clip. First off, that's just a classic tune. And then there's the way everyone looks. The description doesn't say what year it is, but it obviously goes back a ways. For one thing, John Hartford is in it, and we lost him several years ago. (Isn't he a hoot, by the way? "I didn't win a durn thing!")
But my gosh--how young everyone is! Del McCoury with no grey. Jerry Douglas without that funky microphone he uses these days. Alison Krauss before she had a stylist. (Isn't odd, by the way, that she won the female vocalist that year, but she doesn't sing in this clip?)
I love watching the microphone jockeying going on. It's not easy to maneuver on a stage with that many fiddle bows flying around!

I had such a crush on the pre-coiffed Alison Krauss.
