Thanks for sharing/talking music.
Yes, The Kentucky Colonels - at some point brain cells don't seem to be what they were in the memory dept. I actually had a Kentucky Colonels CD, bought it in the mid 90s - was that after they reunited?
I think it had some studio material and a few tracks that were live.

Had to sell it along w/the rest of my CD/ LP collection when I really needed the cash - liking the music a great deal, but not actively following bluegrass, the name just slipped from memory onto the tip of my tongue and wsnt "further out of range" from there; so the Country Gentleman was the closest name that came to memory.

I did not know about his brother. Is he the same kind of unique player as far as technique & interpretation? I will have to file his name and his band away as something to search out.

The Stanley Bros. I haven't heard of, but everyone else you've mentioned I've at least listened to a small portion of their work - whether records borrowed from friends, or coming across a live (or repeat) concert on NPR for example. I love everything I've heard by the Seldom Scene, and John Duffey is a name I'll have to keep in mind as well.

During the late '60s people began to explore Bluegrass, after hearing the Byrds, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Gram Parsons' albums, acoustic Dylan etc. I lived in Boston from '72-'92 and worked in a record store there during the mid 70s. The manager, went on to work for Rounder Records, is now an independent producer for them and other labels.

Before and after he left, the store always had a large inventory of Old Timey and Bluegrass in stock. In spite of being a major jazz fan (from about 1970 to date), I used to pour over those Rounder releases in the bins, and my mouth would water - always thought, if I had the dough, I'd buy 20 or 35 of those traditional recors at one clip.

Being a jazz fan, I actually ended up buying over 100 Blue Note recordings over the years (original albums LPs/ CDs and multi record reissues on the Mosaic label etc.). First club I started going to was Slugs - 242 East Third St. (between aves. B & C), music played there was like walking into a Blue Note recording session.
It was a long walk from the IRT at Astor Place, and even a longer walk from the West 4th St. stop.
