Great to see Rob with my friend Toby. However there are a couple of other fellows that are very worthy of mentioning. Dave Pomeroy on bass and Randy Scruggs on guitar. These two have played with anybody who’s anybody and many who are not. Good to see them perform. Check out Dave Andy Leftwich and Rob at http://www.threeringcircle.com
