Even if it's just an apocryphal story, it's at least a crazy-interesting concept that I hadn't even considered before.

It was where he got his start 20+ years ago, but both him and Sara Watkins (the fiddler) went on to do some interesting stuff to say the least. Their new album was sort of a reunion.
Not EXCLUSIVELY... but kinda, but even though I'm only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don't mind. And... if you're going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.
This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.
If you're interested in Country and Folk but have the range of taste you seem to, you should definitely become aware of Punch Brothers if you're not already.

As far as newer sketch comedy, Tallboyz and Baroness Von Sketch have done some great work the last few years.
God I hope we can stand our ground. We need a domino effect of countries to turn the tide, the first few will always be the hardest though.

And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D
