Got 'Grass?
More than picks and strings, we explore the musical stories, the hopes and dreams, and some of the hard times, of life as a bluegrass star. You'll find them Insightful, often funny, sometimes discouraged, in other words, human! Hosted by Chris Wuerth from GuitartownCT concerts in Hamden, CT.

Bluegrass icon Larry Sparks started playing guitar with The Stanley Brothers in 1965, at age 17. He talks about his 61 years in the bluegrass business, with many memories of Carter and Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe, his approach to singing, and his beloved 1954 Martin D-28 with the distinctive double pickguard. What a thrill for me to talk with one of my bluegrass heroes!
