The original bluegrass players knew all about cabins, and first hand! But today, cabins are something bluegrass people might aspire to. That's the subject of the Gem of Bluegrass. Later, we talk to Dan Miller of Flatpickling Guitar magazine. Dan picks out some great 2-guitar duets for us. And we have some fun with a couple of recent honky tonk songs, and play another which also relates to "echo chamber bluegrass."
