thermodynamics:
i have lived in middle tennessee my whole life and my dad has been in several bluegrass bands... i've been around bluegrass all my life. the best recordings out of the hundreds i've heard are live shows and collaborations when people assemble an "all star" team of sorts. here are the best in the business right now (check out "bela fleck - tales from the acoustic planet, vol. 2: the bluegrass sessions")

GUITAR - tony rice   or   bryan sutton   or   david grier
DOBRO - jerry douglas   or    rob ikes
BANJO - bela fleck
FIDDLE - allison kraus (she's just my favourite)
MANDOLIN - sam bush    or   chris thile
BASS - barry bales (plays in a.k./union station) - he is solid

i have to give chris thile (nickel creek) credit for being the virtuoso he is. kid has unmatched skills and he's 24-ish. and nickel creek has been playing together since the members were around 5 years old... single digit ages. it's ridiculous.
