Music of the Day #38: The Travelin' McCourys - Quicksburg Rendezvous

381.jpg

This upbeat instrumental performance is an exciting showcase of virtuosity, improvisation and playfulness by one of the great bluegrass groups.Del McCoury first started his career playing guitar and singing with Bill Monroe. He later formed his own band eventually adding his two sons Ronnie and Robbie on mandolin and banjo to the line-up. Here is a video of his sons with the rest of Del McCoury's band (minus Del McCoury himself) as they play 'Quicksburg Rendezvous'. (Pay attention to the guitarist during his solo. He's in for a surprise.)
