I don't dislike anybody enough* to subject 'em to trying to play in a band with moi.  

* however,  if push came to shove I could probably make a few exceptions.

C'mon Owen, you're missing the point - it's FANTASY Bluegrass Band. You're the banjo player and you can be as good as your favorite banjo player. Just pretend you can play pro-level. Who would you choose to stand on that stage at Bean Blossom with you?

I dunno Jim... when I look at all the names [this and t'other thread] the one's I don't recognize outnumber the ones I do by a fair bit.... and that's just recognize, not know the instrument.    I can probably fairly reliably recognize Del McCoury's singing, but when it comes to who's playing what instrument ...  oh-nay ay-way. 

Mandolin ... I think I recall Ricky Skaggs and maybe Big Mon??  [Monroe??]

Guitar .... Tony Rice?? [his singing's also pretty good]. 

Bass... dunno.

Fiddle ... dunno [I recognized the name Byron Berline, though wouldn't have been able to link him to fiddle].

I could probably name a "band" from the people I see at jams/festivals around here, and to my ear/mind they sound as good as ___________, and ____________, and _________ .  Tbt, for the most part I couldn't tell the diff.

================================================================================

At one of our [circle, coffee-house style] jams, the MC apologized for not remembering my name.  I replied that in that case she could just call me JD Crowe.  [I think she got my attempt at "funny."]

We’re kicking this thing off with Josh Williams on guitar and vocals, Harry Clark from east nash grass on mandolin and vocals “ he’s amazing “ on fiddle give me Bobby Hicks , and let’s round it off with Roy Husky jr. on bass . No let’s get ta picking !!!

Lead Vocal: Linda Ronstadt (The Bluegrass Album)
Backup Vocal: Tina Adair
Guitar/Backup Vocal: Greg Blake
Fiddle: Michael Cleveland
Mando/Backup Vocal: Sierra Hull
Archtop Acoustic Guitar/Backup Vocal: Sarah Jaroscz
Backup Vocal: Buddy Melton
Bass: Larry D. Sparks or Nate Sabat
Banjo/Backup Vocal: Banjo player

Wrong. The Osborne Bros. toured Europe/Scandanavia with only four and put on a great show. Real bluegrass bands don't have members who don't play an instrument. Linda Ronstadt was a great singer but including her in this context is silly. Plenty of great female bluegrass artists if you that is a necessity for you.

Basically, my dream band would be Hicks, Lawson…I’ll just say it - the Bluegrass Album Band with me filling in for JD. I can’t imagine a better band (unless JD replaced me, lol)…they were pretty much perfect in my opinion

I was imagining a band composed entirely of Justin Moses clones.
We only did instrumentals.

.... ^^ or maybe "The Duplicates" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up6UiI07yrs&list=RDUp6UiI07yrs&start_radio=1

I started to say the 0044 band but the thoughts of “me” taking the banjo away from James Dee Crowe ??? NOPE ! That ain’t no part of nothing . So I’ll stick with my prior group I chose .
