I first encountered Danny Barnes playing banjo in a quartet with Tim O’Brien, Casey Driessen and Mike Bub. Not long thereafter they were an impromptu backup band for Steve Earle (and the Bluegrass Dukes) at a Gray Fox Bluegrass Festival. Back in the day he was in a group called The Bad Livers…….The lad certainly gets around!
Wow! I've never seen a Gibson mandolin or guitar like that. I can't even find anyone else referancing such a mandolin anywhere. I know they made some two points in the 60s and 70s but thats from the thirties. What an incredible instrument!
These are so cool! Totally unique in sound and design,sound terrific that guitar is truly fascinating to look at,they must have thought that plastic was so cool!lol and obviously that somehow the more holes the better,louder it would be?
To the best of my knowledge, it's a bit of a balancing act. More holes means more places where the volume of air resonating inside the instrument can transmit its energy to the air outside, but if you have too many holes, it will have a negative effect on the resonance. Louder is also not necessarily better. Many instruments are optimized for volume, but there's always a trade-off. Some other aspect, for example, the volume of particular harmonics, might suffer. A likely consequence would be that the lower harmonics would be emphasized, producing a less complex sound.
Thank you both for making my evening turn out nice.
That is really nice playing.
The holes are there to give you more places to drop your pick into the instrument.
Instant classic of an instant classic 🔥😊
That was a beautiful piece of flatpicker heaven! Thank you!
Much thanks for sharing! Beautiful
That was fun.
Nice to see them still picking. David's got a good sense of humor😊
A great sense of humor. I saw him with Del McCoury at the Ryman some years ago. They were terrific. He kept us all laughing. Especially Del.
Two of my favorite players. My Saturday is complete.
Damn....that was....awesome
Hey thanks for this! I first heard Mr. Grisman with Earth Opera! Quite a while ago. Great version here.
He has been busy since then…. 😎
Really enjoyed it thanks very much
Saw David in the mid ‘80s in Palo Alto!

These guys can play, you can just tell before the even start haha
If you dont know the Dawg you should check out Tony Rice,Jerry Garcia,Hot Rize,the Earls of Liester ,Norman Blake.
@@Spike-w5o Yeah I know his work with Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, thank you.
Wow
David is so sharp😁
You should do more songs
They have a fantastic album with David’s son on bass called “David Grisman’s Dawg Trio”.

dig it
Wow check out that beautiful one off Gibson jumbo
聞くに堪えない！！
Kansas State University favorite at sporting events.
Nice! Marty Sender You Tube
The mandolin is known as the "Lil Pup"...
Sad, but sitting here wondering if Danny ever was bequeathed Steve James's banjo?
Oh, the Eastern states are DANDY 😅
sound wasn't picking up the mandolin all that well
Hard to keep centurion instruments in tune.
