with

them for 10 years but i had been trying to become dobro player of the year All of those years, when I had my old band, and I would always get nominated, but I would never win it.

And the year that I went with Bob and Sonny, the Osborne brothers, I become No Bro Player of the Year, and I kept on doing that for 16 years after that.

And had I not went with Bob and Sonny, I may have never been No Bro Player of the Year.

But it was, they were the biggest.

They were the biggest band in bluegrass music.

It was, I got a call from Earl Scruggs and he wanted me to come out and play like 17 shows with him on the road.

Tim, go ahead.
