Jody Stecher, Keith Little, Peter Rowan and company put on a performance of true high lonesome bluegrass. The crowd was very appreciative with standing ovations and the band responding with multiple encores. His quote above might come off as high headed to some - to think that someone can only learn bluegrass from playing with a legend, or learn it only the way he (Rowan) did. But I hear what he's getting at. There aren't a lot of folks doing what was happening on that stage for that show - and I'd like to think that I learned a little something more about bluegrass just by being there.
