My exact sentiments... Speed don't mean good... Back in the 60's and early 70s I was with and around alot of bands that thought that they could compensate for a lack of general talent (or practice) by playing very loud... When I hear some bluegrass bands I'm thinkin' the same thing...

Slow it down a tad, boys... Tell the story, sing the song but slow it down... Ain't a friggin' race we got here...
