While Uncle Dave was an "old time" musician, we've arranged and adapted these songs into bluegrass format, often with two banjos, fiddle, mandolin, bass, and guitar. Singing ranges from solo vocals to four and five-part harmonies. The musicians here are all top notch, with 3 time National fiddle champion Byron Berline, Dennis Caplinger of "Bluegrass Etc." on banjo, Dan Crary, king of the flatpick guitar players, Bill Bryson of "Desert Rose" on bass, and Banjo Newsletter columnist Wayne Shrubsall on clawhammer banjo.
