What a great little first ever Old And In The Way "show." I'm not sure I'd call it mindblowing but it's exceptionally well played, that's for sure. The setlist features some one-time-only played songs for this band. Dark Hollow thru Home Is Where The Heart Is have their sole known performances here. Why were they ditched in lieu of other tunes? Beats me but that means this is rather unique so hey, that's pretty cool. Dark Hollow is interesting in that it's Peter Rowan on vocals and not Jerry. Song selection for this KSAN-FM radio performance goes back and forth between all out pickin' and some mellower numbers. If this was the only bluegrass that I'd ever listen to, that would be okay with me!
