Looks like Darol Anger has a cool new album coming out for any fans of this type of music...

I am unfamiliar with Mr. Anger, and have not yet YouTubed him to see if I'm a fan or not - but the second image down in the link is a wonderfully concise statement on why I feel lucky to of the generation am.

Looks like an interesting project, been a fan of Darol's since the old Grisman Quintet days.
I liked the following line from the description...
"listening deeply into the music, soaking up layers of meaning that may or may not have been there;"
Oh, cool... looking at the personnel listing, this is gonna' be a great project! ;D
Not to understate, but in recent years, Darol has been a mentor of sorts to a whole new generation of fiddlers.
For instance, Brittany Haas of PHC Band... if you ever wondered where she learned that drive, here it is: https://youtu.be/hWi2EShC9AA
The Anger, Haas, and Claridge video was pretty cool.
I've had the pleasure of playing with him a few times back in the day. He's as wonderful a person as he is a player. An American treasure.
