In the mid 70's I and a group of friends lived on a kibbutz in Israel. We decided to start a folk club- as none existed at that time. We heard about the duo David &Yona- and that David was none other than Bob Yellin of the Greenbriar Boys. We decided to invite him to play at the club (Jacob's Ladder), and he eventually agreed - though he was reluctant at first, saying he was a little rusty on banjo! He went on to join a group of musicians- forming "The Unknown Country Band" which went through several transmogrifications- ending up as White &BlueGrass . David left Israel sometime in the '80s- but the bluegrass that he introduced here lives on. Cheers- Jack The Lad
