Right. "The best of everything"? I certainly hope (after all, they did
post this to alt.guitar.lap-pedal) that they've got noticeable influences
from Buddy Emmons, Mike Auldridge and Bob Brozman, with perhaps some Taj

Oh, and perhaps some Seldom Scene or Del McCoury, some Asleep at the
Wheel, some Motley Crue (circa early-mid 80s, when they showed the world
how to make some really good boogiewoogie-inspired metal), some Dave
Apollon (classical mandolinist, pre-WWII, has a LOT to teach anyone
wanting to play that 8-string midget).
