Is that Byron Berline?! Wowee! He shore can still fiddle! Doesn't he sound a lot like Stuart Duncan? (Just the ear and choice of notes)? Stuart says Byron was, in his words, "...simply the best fiddler you'd ever want to hear." :)
Jim is the closest thing there's been to Earl...….and that's what I'm interested in. Bela, Sonny, Charlie and (etc) are great, but I'm lookin' for Earl (and Jim).
John Mills is probably one of the best banjo’s players in the whole USA in my opinion, Not to mention he has the Best Banjo Shop in the country .JB
Earl would be proud. Jim and he are reunited now.
Rest In Peace, Jim.
Oh no. That hits hard. So much talent and goodness gone. And yet much of it remains.
The more I listen to Jim the better I like him..Bonnie Scotland
Byron was sooooo good.
Located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Great displays of various makes of banjos on two floors.
wonderful group.
What wonderful playing!!!

Yes it's Byron, and he's still kickin', as can be seen and heard at his OK Intl. Bluegrass Festival, first weekend in October in Guthrie
Also, another fiddler, perhaps of the same fame, is Darol Anger...great to hear them together!
Jim's play is notable for being very clean, crisp and at the speed Earl intended....not rushed.
Beautiful ! (and perfect )
RIP Jimmy.
Good as it gets 👍
wonder how Jim compares with Sonny Osborne and JD Crowe??
At the very least, equal...if not better, in my opinion!
how do you rate jim mills, sonny osborne and charlie cushman please?
Copastheman1 Jim Cushman Sonny
All are truly great in their own right but to me there is no comparison. Jim Mills is THE absolute best.
