| I know Jerry Douglas is good, but I just heard an Alison Krauss song "Let me touch you for awhile" and I can't believe the solo I just heard. Had to tell somebody. Will |

| Pretty tasty indeed. I'm about two licks from getting it figured out. Funny, the part that sounds the hardest wasn't that hard! |

| Jerry Douglas is a guy who can make you like instruments you weren't sure you cared for otherwise. Lap steels are often deployed with all the sonic charm of a small chain saw. The way Jerry has played non-pedal stuff on Alison's records--ambient pads, sustained note fills--it sounds like an entirely different instrument. |

I've had the opportunity to see JD play a few times with the Whites. We already knew ahead of time what to expect but expectations were far exceeded.

| Get the new Dolly Parton album "The Grass is Blue". Jerry out-does himself on this one. The first somg on side one is outstanding. I just recently took up Dobro after thinking about it for years and I'm glad I did. Jerry is the Buddy Emmons of the dobro. |

Jerry is my all time favorite Dobro player. Just fee-nomm-n-ull (spelled incorrectly on porpoise)

| Even though Lloyd plays Dobro, I always thought of Jerry Douglas as the Lloyd Green of the Dobro: compelling smooth-yet-snappy phrasing, very emotive playing, and saying so much with a few notes. |
