Saw Jethro when he was the opening for The David Grisman Quintet in a very small venue maybe late 80's?
I thought I'd simply be entertained with some funny quips, but he came out and did an extraordinary set of classical music that totally changed my opinion of what the mandolin was capable of as well as my understanding of Burns as a musician.
