Jethro, Red – and Bill
Our friends at The Bluegrass Ireland Blog found a terrific video on YouTube that is sure to be a treat for bluegrass mandolin fans.
It features Jethro Burns performing a talking blues tribute to the greats of the mandolin, with able assistance from Red Rector. Jethro and Red each take a turn with a solo, and are joined at the end by a very special guest.
It’s a classic clip, and a great reminder of what a clever performer Jethro was – as well as a fine picker.
Find the clip on YouTube.

I really enjoyed this video. I learn so much from Jethro Burns.
He was a friend of my family and I was lucky to meet him and hear his music when I was growing up! Thanks
