This brings back memories. Playing in this band was so easy, such solid rhythm, great playing, and singing with John Duffey - that required all you had to offer. He could hold a note longer than anyone I ever sang with. Hope more of this surfaces. Phil R.
The Scene was the best when Phil was singing and playing lead. John Starling was a bit before I was turned on to them. I enjoyed my weekly time at the Birchmere watching them perform. Just totally great musicians all the way around
My uncle was Mike Auldridge, and I had the joy of hearing some of the greats cover this song at MerleFest this past weekend with Jerry Douglas playing dobro, Peter Rowan, T. Michael Coleman, Sam Bush, among others. Amazing musicians.
Wow, I met your uncle Mike at Birckshire, also back stage at the Birchmere with my friend Joe Val, New England Bluegrass Boys . I was in contact with Mike about his Chesapeake endeavor before he passed! Ben I learned has passed recently too! Rosenthal, is he still with us?
Hey Jennifer, I knew the family well, especially your cousin Laura! I hope your Aunt Elise is doing well...are you a Kessler? Grew up in Woodmoor and miss those days!
RIP MIKE AULDRIDGE - I believe he is the best Dobro player who ever lived, founding member of my favorite Bluegrass band, The Seldom Scene, and a personal friend. He leaves a hole that music may not be able to fill.
The Best there ever was. I had the privilege of meeting Mike at a Festival in Stuart, Va. in 1978. I was trying to learn Dobro and Eventually took 8 lessons from Him. I still have the tapes. Yes I'm old. I still noodle around on my 51 Year old OMI. Mike and Josh were the best Dobro players ever. I cannot separate them because of their different styles.
I can't believe that I get a chance to see this again. I about fell over when they played this at the Opry in 1979. I think John knew this was his first and last shot at the Opry establishment and he stuck it in their eye with his most acid grass song in their repertoire. However, he was able to showcase the musical prowess of the band. Duffy was one of the most hilarious front man ever. Sorely missed.
It took me some time to appreciate Bluegrass music -- but The Seldom Scene sealed the deal for me with this song! I first heard it in 1979 as a passenger in a 1947 Dodge truck that was bumping and grinding its gears through potholes on an unpaved road that led to my destiny. But it's only through hindsight that a person realizes that ...
i dont understand how everyone is sitting down i cant stop movin love this music drink a handful of beers and start jiggin even got 19 20 yr old brother and his freind and my 11 yr old boy just bustin out with a jig this music will never die
Man, that mando break was wild. I dont think anyone pushed the limits more than John. Most other mandolin pickers of this time period played pretty simple stuff, but John was like some rock and roll guitar player or something! John Duffey will live forever!
I saw the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere in the eighties. It was my indoctrination into bluegrass, and I will thank the lord forever for that. Go,Scene, and RIP for a great life in the hereafter for John Duffey, who was so sweet and made friends with my dad before he went. I mean, my dad was just a fan, and John reached out to him and made him a friend, and that is awesome.
John Duffy and Ben Eldridge are the only two people that can shred the mandolin and banjo like they do! I've always loved their music and enjoyed their shows. Great musicians they are. I miss J.D.s' tenor singing and his playing as I'm sure alot of us Seldom Scene fans will.
The Seldom Scene... in my opinion, the VERY BEST bluegrass band in the world during their time. They went beyond everyone and everybody. AND btw, John Duffy (the mandolin player) was a friend of mine
Used to see this band regularly around DC, Va., WV, like 35 years ago. Consistently good shows, some outdoor performances were really terrific. Glad to find this on the internets.
Mr. Duffy has one of the most uniuque voices. I love this band, grew up listening to there records on my dad's old record player, im 26 by the way. And yes I play guitar (bluegrass style)
Privileged to see the Scene every year starting in '78 at Festival of the Bluegrass near Lexington. Our kids grew up hearing them and loving their music. Treasured memories of unparalleled musicians and vocal prowess.
Used Michael Auldridge(Dobro) on a Kawasaki Motor Bike commercial in 1973 in Washington DC. Emmy Lou Harris sang lead on it with Fayssoux Starling singing background harmonies.He was a great player and a true gentleman as well as a fine commercial artist... RIP.
Whaow ! I've just seen these great band in Toulouse Bluegrass Festival FRANCE, in 1982, it was an unforgetable TIME, A GREAT CONCERT.Peace to the soul of John Duffey.
lived "live in concert" 14 years. I disappeared from the heavy metal punk rock background Training in Art , fine antiques restoration . Famous College Radio WYSO Yellow Springs, Ohio Saturday eve plays 6 hours of the best bluegrass music that introduced me to Seldom-Scene 1984 and it changed my life . Grateful Dead is famous doing this song that came out of the late 20s 30s-40s patch work of writers.
Having heard and seen The Seldom Scene in the D.C. area since 1972, the band at that point had heard The Grateful Dead play I Know You Rider. We were college students then and loved both bands so it was very cool for us to hear The Seldom Scene's spirited version.
One of the greatest bands ever in bluegrass music. Ck out the creases in Mike's jeans, he still wears them that way, always the gentleman. Gotta love Larry the Legend!
Call me bias because Mike Auldridge was my uncle but these guys were all amazing, thankfully my Uncle Tommy Auldridge is still alive and well and playing the Hell out of his pedal steel guitar! If you get a chance, you should give him a listen.
Seymour Void Productions I met your uncle Mike at a festival in Lebanon, VA in the late 70s. Great guy and best dobro player ever. I love Panhandle Country.
Thank you to the families of these wonderful musicians..you share your legacy of having loved them and their passion and expression of their souls for all to experience freely. They will all be missed, never forgotten and their gifts will be shared generously in kind.
C. McKiney: Pardon me, but why do you spell it 'brake': is that ignorant or on purpose? Makes it sound like the mandolin is applying a 'brake' to the music, which would be the opposite of a bluegrass 'break'.
I was fortunate enough to see this steller band several times over the years.At the Strawberry Spring Music Festival,they headlined,the coolest thing about the outdoor folk and bluegrass festivals was seeing band members sitting around a camp fire after the days events and just jamming with people that wanted to sit in with them.I don't play,but I could see the joy on the faces of weekend pickers sittin in and jamming with these guys.
Having grown up around DC, I was fortunate enough to have seen these guys many times, most of them at The Birchmere or The Cellar Door. The most memorable being at Wolftrap Farm Park in Vienna, VA, around 1980ish. They opened for John Prine with Steve Goodman. It was one of the most wonderful musical nights of my life, to date, as a spectator.
I'm grateful for these bluegrass pioneers! If it weren't for these guys, I would not be enjoying bluegrass music today! Thanks for positing this video!
All of them had day jobs, why they named the band "The Seldom Scene". I worked with Tom Gray at National Geographic and in addition to regularly going to the Red Foxx Inn and Birchmere to hear the band play Tom introduced me to canoeing in the rivers and streams around Washington, DC.
Jumping Jiminy, that's some of the finest playing and showmanship I've ever seen, and I've been a folkie most of my 68 years. I was introduced to this tune by Grateful Dead, but this verson blows them out of the water. "Eat your heart out Bill Monroe"? Yep, and eat your heart out Jerry Garcia, Mama's got a new crush. Or should I say 5 new crushes.
@philrosenthal I just found this video, and hope that we can all enjoy more. The Seldom Scene- "Live at the Cellar Door" was the first non Flatt & Scruggs album I ever bought. And it forever changed the way I listened to and eventually the way I approached playing the banjo. This line- up is the top band in my book. Thank you Phil for your contributions to bluegrass music. By the way, if I were stranded on a deserted island, the 1 album that would be with me would be Cellar Door. Dean M.
One of the best song ever recorded by The Seldom Scene. I was lucky enough to see them in performance several times at Granite Hill Campground west of Gettysburg, PA.
I live in Portland, OR. Several years ago I met a couple who must moved here from D.C. I surprised them when they introduced their dog named Rider....and, of course, I said, named after Ben's break in the Bluegrass song, no doubt!!!!
great to see them great to hear them only had a tape cassette to hear them once upon a time and boy do I love bluegrass. thank you bluegrass library tony lee [ Australia ]
Hi Phil. Yeah, I saw you guys at the Great American Music Hall in SF, must have been about 1980. Thanks for all the great music! The Seldom Scene will live forever.
I used to see the Seldom Scene all around the D.C. area, they were the best! Watermelon Park in Berryville, Va. In the Shenandoah River while the band played............................ John Duffey R.I.P. Phil Rosenthal good to see you here too!
Gone? Are you hearin' what I'm hearin? It will only get better over time like a fine wine with sound technology. Plus Soon there will be music made by (AI) of any artist you choose singing any song you choose. You will not be able to tell "Is it Live or is it Memorex" (Actual artist or AI)..... Did Joni Mitchell sing Froggie went a courting? One day she might. Wait for it.....
No wonder I GOT HOOKED ON THAT "acid grass" BACK IN THE SEVENTIES! What good memories! Got to see them many times in and around NC. Me and my mom were groupies!!!!! LOL...AWESOME
OMG, I never knew these guys played the Opry! This was right when I was a real Scene groupie (mid- to late-70s). I used to determine which BG festivals I'd attend based on if the Scene was on the bill. No Scene, no good! I even used to pattern my mando playing after Duffy. Even had a zippered v-neck golf shirt like his. Still have it as a memento 30 years later! I basically stopped playing BG when Duffy and Monroe died in '96. The new Krauss and Nickel Creek stuff just leaves me cold.
Duffy was the definition of smooth - and the definition of kind, sweet and talented. I hung with them every Monday at the Red Fox, then the Birchmere. Sweet memories.
Saw them at my first concert outing as a young kid - at the Weinberg theater just down the road a bit from Granite Hill...my brother and I wore the needle through Live At the Cellar Door!
Phil: Great great stuff! I can't tell you how many hours I've driven that long road on the outer banks of NC, playing this, White Line and other nice tunes from the Live at the Cellar Door album. Legends, man.
This folk song is also known as "I know you rider", being covered by artists as diverse as The Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna in acoustic mode. Fantastic version by The Seldom Scene!
Bad ass! I'm 35 I saw these guys when I was a kid. My parents love Bluegrass and Country so it was often playing in our house. I love traditional country and some bluegrass but I'm pretty much a rocker. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Danzig, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. I love this stuff though, love it
I love this video! Always good to see classic Seldom Scene. I've always liked Phil Rosenthal, but he sang the wrong verse on this one. The first verse should of started with "I laid my head down last night lord..."
This brings back memories. Playing in this band was so easy, such solid rhythm, great playing, and singing with John Duffey - that required all you had to offer. He could hold a note longer than anyone I ever sang with. Hope more of this surfaces.
Phil R.
Phil Rosenthal S/S STILL THE BEST YOUR VOCALS PUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE THAT HAS YET TO BE CUT.
Phil Rosenthal you added so much to this group. Your singing and your songs not to mention your playing!
Thank you, Phil!
Phil - Bluegrass legend !
The Scene was the best when Phil was singing and playing lead. John Starling was a bit before I was turned on to them. I enjoyed my weekly time at the Birchmere watching them perform. Just totally great musicians all the way around
Rip Ben Eldridge. My favorite banjo player! Live at the Cellar door showed that they were the tightest bluegrass band ever! What a show🪕
My uncle was Mike Auldridge, and I had the joy of hearing some of the greats cover this song at MerleFest this past weekend with Jerry Douglas playing dobro, Peter Rowan, T. Michael Coleman, Sam Bush, among others. Amazing musicians.
Wow, I met your uncle Mike at Birckshire, also back stage at the Birchmere with my friend Joe Val, New England Bluegrass Boys . I was in contact with Mike about his Chesapeake endeavor before he passed! Ben I learned has passed recently too! Rosenthal, is he still with us?
Hey Jennifer, I knew the family well, especially your cousin Laura! I hope your Aunt Elise is doing well...are you a Kessler? Grew up in Woodmoor and miss those days!
Mike Aldridge is awesome
This is the bluegrass that I fell in love with 40+ years ago! Love Seldom Scene.
RIP MIKE AULDRIDGE - I believe he is the best Dobro player who ever lived, founding member of my favorite Bluegrass band, The Seldom Scene, and a personal friend. He leaves a hole that music may not be able to fill.
His instrumental version of Tennessee Stud circa 1971 is phenomenal. First heard it in college. Haunts me to this day in a very good way.
Check out Emmett Franz with The Petersens. Watch out, Jerry Douglas!
Probably the BEST live progressive bluegrass live performance ever.
The Best there ever was. I had the privilege of meeting Mike at a Festival in Stuart, Va. in 1978. I was trying to learn Dobro and Eventually took 8 lessons from Him. I still have the tapes. Yes I'm old. I still noodle around on my 51 Year old OMI. Mike and Josh were the best Dobro players ever. I cannot separate them because of their different styles.
I can't believe that I get a chance to see this again. I about fell over when they played this at the Opry in 1979. I think John knew this was his first and last shot at the Opry establishment and he stuck it in their eye with his most acid grass song in their repertoire. However, he was able to showcase the musical prowess of the band. Duffy was one of the most hilarious front man ever. Sorely missed.
Inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame yesterday!
The Seldom Scene-also one of the greatest EVER!"Live At The Cellar Door" was an awesome CD.
My salad days in DC
I was at that show.
Duffy was the BEST tenor vocalist in bluegrass. Still miss him!
and personable as hell too.
It took me some time to appreciate Bluegrass music -- but The Seldom Scene sealed the deal for me with this song! I first heard it in 1979 as a passenger in a 1947 Dodge truck that was bumping and grinding its gears through potholes on an unpaved road that led to my destiny. But it's only through hindsight that a person realizes that ...
i dont understand how everyone is sitting down i cant stop movin
love this music drink a handful of beers and start jiggin even got 19 20 yr old brother and his freind and my 11 yr old boy just bustin out with a jig this music will never die
Talent unmatched in Bluegrass this version of the Scene was legendary.
This band was THE bluegrass band when I was gigging with my dad's band. Played a LOT of their stuff. This is part of my childhood!
Man, that mando break was wild. I dont think anyone pushed the limits more than John. Most other mandolin pickers of this time period played pretty simple stuff, but John was like some rock and roll guitar player or something! John Duffey will live forever!
I saw the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere in the eighties. It was my indoctrination into bluegrass, and I will thank the lord forever for that.

Tim O`Brien plays as good.
I went to High School with both John Duffy and Mike Aldrich in Bethesda Chevy Chase H.S. in Maryland
Best of the best ! Miss them !
The Seldom Scene... in my opinion, the VERY BEST bluegrass band in the world during their time. They went beyond everyone and everybody. AND btw, John Duffy (the mandolin player) was a friend of mine
Tom Gray is one of the best that ever stepped up beside a bass fiddle!
Used to see this band regularly around DC, Va., WV, like 35 years ago. Consistently good shows, some outdoor performances were really terrific. Glad to find this on the internets.
YEAH!!! ...And sometimes SCENE in PA, DE, & MD.
Mr. Duffy has one of the most uniuque voices. I love this band, grew up listening to there records on my dad's old record player, im 26 by the way. And yes I play guitar (bluegrass style)
Jerry Garcia is looking down, smiling, nodding his head in approval and thinking to himself.....
"Holy shit man......those guys can flat out play!!!"
They probably know Jerry
@@midnightcruiser7762The Pizza Tapes- Garcia, Rice, Grisman. You probably know about that already.
Privileged to see the Scene every year starting in '78 at Festival of the Bluegrass near Lexington. Our kids grew up hearing them and loving their music. Treasured memories of unparalleled musicians and vocal prowess.
One of the greatest Blugrass bands of all time!!!!
I miss The Birchmere circa '77 ! Those of you who know, know
Picnic tables. 😀
Summer of 1977, I was there every Thursday night. Incredible experience that I will never forget (I'm 74 now).
Suh-weet! Been listening to these guys since I was a teen back in the 80s. They don't make it like this anymore. These guys were the greatest.
Used Michael Auldridge(Dobro) on a Kawasaki Motor Bike commercial in 1973 in Washington DC. Emmy Lou Harris sang lead on it with Fayssoux Starling singing background harmonies.He was a great player and a true gentleman as well as a fine commercial artist... RIP.
Great memory, thanks.
FOUND A NEW COOL SONG SURPRISED I NEVER CAME ACROSSED IT BEFORE GOOD SHOW FELLAS
Love...love...love. So many memories of sunny festivals.
Whaow !
I've just seen these great band in Toulouse Bluegrass Festival FRANCE, in 1982, it was an unforgetable TIME, A GREAT CONCERT.Peace to the soul of John Duffey.
havent grabbed my guitar in 2 days, keep fighting in my head
but now im back on.....thank you Mr. Auldridge
never get tired of these guys and this song
lived "live in concert" 14 years. I disappeared from the heavy metal punk rock background Training in Art , fine antiques restoration .

I saw them last night at Nottoway Park...08/01/24
One of the greatest bands ever in bluegrass music. Ck out the creases in Mike's jeans, he still wears them that way, always the gentleman. Gotta love Larry the Legend!
My father wore his jeans that way with the creases in the front.
In the 1970's this Band, The Seldom Scene was probably the Top band to want to see. I seen them 3 times.
You done seen them or you saw them?
Gets better every time I watch it! The light ain’t too good, but the talent; EMINCELY REWARDING👏👏👏🤙👌🇺🇸
Wow, Just listening to Mr. Eldridge play his solo in this track us breathtaking.
@philrosenthal Dude, you have a fantastic voice! Enjoyed all the playing too. Well done.
My favorite bluegrass group and my favorite song by them.
At festivals back in the early 80's ...when this song was played.... the crowd went wild!
the crowd went wild because they were so glad the band quit playing :D
If you're going to use ear curling language, you could @ least use it properly. Do you even know what that means?
Patti Fletcher: He knows what it means, and he knows how to use it . Some people are dicks and some are cunts.
Wow! You don't know anything!! What a goofball...you are!!
Call me bias because Mike Auldridge was my uncle but these guys were all amazing, thankfully my Uncle Tommy Auldridge is still alive and well and playing the Hell out of his pedal steel guitar! If you get a chance, you should give him a listen.

What a group of musicians!.
And what a mando brake by Mr. Duffey!
C. McKiney: Pardon me, but why do you spell it 'brake': is that ignorant or on purpose? Makes it sound like the mandolin is applying a 'brake' to the music, which would be the opposite of a bluegrass 'break'.

Man Ben Eldridge can pull tone!! He is one of the best in my book
sounds pretty thin to me
One o’ the greatest groups ever🤙👏👏👏🇺🇸
Tom Gray's bass is hypnotic.
you were all great ! the new Scene cant come close to this. Mike, I will love the dobro forever.
I bought "Live at the Cellar Door" on vinyl from back in the day. The grooves are a bit worn out. Never gets old!
All of them had day jobs, why they named the band "The Seldom Scene". I worked with Tom Gray at National Geographic and in addition to regularly going to the Red Foxx Inn and Birchmere to hear the band play Tom introduced me to canoeing in the rivers and streams around Washington, DC.

Got to meet and jam on guitar with Phil Rosenthal bout 10 years ago. Great video here!!🎵🎶🎵
No, really, this is THE BEST EVER version of RIDER
+Craig Collord Judy Roderick....awwwww yessss
Grateful Dead has the best
Nope. Grateful Dead for sure.
@@aidantruner5527 no.. just no
Craig Collord It is a good version but I think the live at the cellar door version is the best in my opinion.
This is hot! Vintage bluegrass, & smokin' solo on the Dobro by Auldridge. This one gives me goosebumps. Incredible!
@philrosenthal
I just found this video, and hope that we can all enjoy more. The Seldom Scene- "Live at the Cellar Door" was the first non Flatt & Scruggs album I ever bought.

One my all time favorites.I've seen them several times
Gets better each time dont it! lol.im go flip to New grass Revival
They were an awesome band!! John Duffey on mandolin was a cherri pie!
Average age of the audience: 92 years old. This is an awesome band playing an awesome song.
listened to live in the cellar , for umpteen years , great to see the boys performing here
I thank you dearly . tony lee Australia.
awesome album..... it changed lives.
One of the best song ever recorded by The Seldom Scene. I was lucky enough to see them in performance several times at Granite Hill Campground west of Gettysburg, PA.
I live in Portland, OR. Several years ago I met a couple who must moved here from D.C. I surprised them when they introduced their dog named Rider....and, of course, I said, named after Ben's break in the Bluegrass song, no doubt!!!!
Unbelievable bass Tom is awesome!!!
I saw Seldom Scene live when I was 12. My dad took me. It was a few years ago in Henrico, VA at Lewis Ginter Gardens.
Amazing, amazing, amazing show.
Thursday nights at the Cellar Door was a highlight of the '70's in Alexandria, VA.
Shawn Strauss my first plane ride ever was specifically to see the Seldom Scene play live at the Birchmere on a Thursday night.
great to see them great to hear them only had a tape cassette to hear them once upon a time and boy do I love bluegrass.
thank you bluegrass library tony lee [ Australia ]
A bluegrass hall of fame lineup fantastic !!!! What awesome musicianship!!!
Hi Phil. Yeah, I saw you guys at the Great American Music Hall in SF, must have been about 1980. Thanks for all the great music! The Seldom Scene will live forever.
I used to see the Seldom Scene all around the D.C. area, they were the best! Watermelon Park in Berryville, Va. In the Shenandoah River while the band played............................ John Duffey R.I.P. Phil Rosenthal good to see you here too!
I love these guys this is my favorite song
these guys were like gods to me.....and this video shows why...what a treasure
never had the opportunity to see them live thank you for all that has posted to you tube and thanks you tube
Music like this is gone except for those of us who remember
Gone? Are you hearin' what I'm hearin? It will only get better over time like a fine wine with sound technology. Plus Soon there will be music made by (AI) of any artist you choose singing any song you choose. You will not be able to tell "Is it Live or is it Memorex" (Actual artist or AI)..... Did Joni Mitchell sing Froggie went a courting? One day she might. Wait for it.....
I live these old folk tunes.
Best version of Rider
No wonder I GOT HOOKED ON THAT "acid grass" BACK IN THE SEVENTIES! What good memories! Got to see them many times in and around NC. Me and my mom were groupies!!!!! LOL...AWESOME
Bet that was HOT You n Mom as groupies....... MMM... MMM.... MMM
Great music..i seen them back in the 70.s at gettsburg penn..and granite hill penn..what good time.s that was..what i can remember anyway..lol..
Wow..reading these comments. Timeless. ♥️♥️
OMG, I never knew these guys played the Opry! This was right when I was a real Scene groupie (mid- to late-70s). I used to determine which BG festivals I'd attend based on if the Scene was on the bill. No Scene, no good!
I even used to pattern my mando playing after Duffy. Even had a zippered v-neck golf shirt like his. Still have it as a memento 30 years later!
I basically stopped playing BG when Duffy and Monroe died in '96. The new Krauss and Nickel Creek stuff just leaves me cold.
This is the best (and only real!) Seldom Scene lineup
Duffy was the definition of smooth - and the definition of kind, sweet and talented. I hung with them every Monday at the Red Fox, then the Birchmere. Sweet memories.
Saw them at my first concert outing as a young kid - at the Weinberg theater just down the road a bit from Granite Hill...my brother and I wore the needle through Live At the Cellar Door!
Phil: Great great stuff! I can't tell you how many hours I've driven that long road on the outer banks of NC, playing this, White Line and other nice tunes from the Live at the Cellar Door album. Legends, man.
This folk song is also known as
"I know you rider", being covered by artists as diverse as The Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna in acoustic mode.
Fantastic version by The Seldom Scene!
I thoroughly enjoyed their playing and singing sad for the negative comments.
No truer words have ever been said. John and Mike are both missed with no one to ever take their place.
The 112 "thumbs down" are saying "THAT AIN'T BLUEGRASS!" :D I think this song was my intro to Newgrass. Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing.
Bad ass! I'm 35 I saw these guys when I was a kid. My parents love Bluegrass and Country so it was often playing in our house. I love traditional country and some bluegrass but I'm pretty much a rocker. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Danzig, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. I love this stuff though, love it
Most dangerous bluegrass band to ever pick up a musical instrument
LOL! Yes.
These guys did us a favor in '82 being on the border of Ct n Ny they Appeared in our Picture and it was Great.
Top knotch performance. Best dobro ever. They we're the best.
Ben Eldrege-one of the greatest EVER!
I love this video! Always good to see classic Seldom Scene. I've always liked Phil Rosenthal, but he sang the wrong verse on this one. The first verse should of started with "I laid my head down last night lord..."
Now more than ever as then... This .. Defines Talent sittin on a foundation of skills..
My hats off....always loved it.!!!
