Out of sight.
Hillbilly jazz. The phrase is a decent two-word approximation of my musical sensibility. It's also the title of one of my favorite albums. The project was spearheaded by the late Vassar Clements, one of America's great fiddlers. Prior to Hillbilly Jazz and his heralded work with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Will the Circle Be Unbroken and with Jerry Garcia in Old and In the Way, Clements recorded a string of fiddle tunes and waltzes. "Fast Travelin'" is 59 seconds of delightful flash.

Duane Jarvis died today. He was a really nice guy.

I had a vinyl copy of Hillbilly Jazz years ago and played it often.
Some people back then I knew just could not accept the term nor the concept. Pity on them.
Amen, BGO.
