He has been a serious musician for some time and I see nothing but positive things from his involvement. The article said some shows were canceled due to low ticket sales. That may have to do with location and the fact the bluegrass draws a smaller audience.

I hope someone recorded that on video for YouTube! The Steep Canyon Rangers always put on a great show when they are on the Opry. Typically on any given Opry show there are only a couple of artists I really want to hear, and the Rangers definitely fall into that select group (along with fellow bluegrassers The Steeldrivers, Dailey and Vincent, and 3 Fox Drive). Sounds like it was a fun show. Wow, a bluegrass version of “King Tut”? I hope someone recorded that on video for YouTube!
