Thanks for the link, maeve. I enjoyed the true bluegrass sounds in that record. The train whistle rendered by the fiddle at 48 seconds is especially to be prized.

The Union Pacific Railroad had its exhibition steam train, the X844 (see it on YouTube) in town a couple weeks ago. I had the magical experience of lying in bed early one morning and hearing its mournful whistle from a mile or so away. It's absolutely haunting.
