Sunday music: If you don't love bluegrass, you hate America

Many possible meanings.  There is a high likelihood that I used some version of this old chestnut before including titles and track information in the music posts, but maybe not this version.  Here's Mark O'Connor, Chris Thile, Frank Vignola, Bryan Sutton, Jon Burr & Byron House with "Don't Let The Deal Go Down," from Jam Session.  Chris Thile, in addition to being one of the great musical geniuses of our era (not at all hyperbole-- he won a MacArthur, and I think the IBMA passed a rule that he wasn't allowed to win the Mandolinist of the Year award anymore, just to make it fair to the rest of the field), is the current host of Prairie Home Companion.  Hopefully, he is less of a shitbag than Garrison Keillor, who is among the latest caught for sexual predation.

Then again, I'd probably still listen to Chris Thile anyway.  I'll probably write more about that, if news slows down.  (Yeah, right...)
