Re: Article: David Grisman and Don Stiernberg Discuss Jethro Burn
I want to once again thank Don Stiernberg for all of the heavy lifting work that made these two articles possible. The past 30 days have been the busiest in the history of this web site and without Don making all the contacts, gathering and editing much of the content and suggesting improvements it simply would not have happened.

Thank you (x 10)!
Just with a brief review of this page, it's evident the work, thought and love that went into it. Will delve deeper later.
Too Marvelous For Words...

This really made my day. I'm not talented enough to play like Jethro, but he has been an incredible inspiration to me. I remember meeting him a few time in the late 70s and early 80s and he was always funny, kind and encouraging. Thanks so much for this remembrance!

When I was maybe in high school, I knew only Homer and Jethro as a comic duo. I had no sense of their skills as musicians! Later (much later) taking up the mandolin with a passion I learned more about Jethro Burns from workshops with Don and then listening to the two of them play duos realized what amazing musicians they both were.

What a great and incredibly rich article. Certainly made my day and when I read and listen again tomorrow it will make tomorrow too. Thank you.

I was blessed to see Jethro accompany Steve Goodman many times in the 70's. I didn't know then what I know now, but it wasn't hard to see that he was a consummate musician and entertainer. I loved them then and with 40 some odd years of experience, I know now I experienced two musical geniuses.
Thanks so much for this wonderful tribute!

Re: Article: David Grisman and Don Stiernberg Discuss Jethro Burn
Thanks to all who contributed to this remembrance of Jethro. I had to go back and read the interview I did with him those years ago and how gracious he was to do the workshop with my students that weekend he was in town. May we all be as friendly and generous as he was. https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/c...urns-Interview

Thanks for helping for keep Jethro front and center where he belongs! He was my first and most important "famous" mandolin player. It just so happened that he was one of the most amazing humans also.

When I first heard the Acoustic Disc CD Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin in the 1990's, my world changed. I bought the other one the next day, and started listening to Lester Young and Charlie Christian with the thought that "Hey, this can be played on the mandolin". I became curious about the rhythm guitar player, and I found out that he had jazz mandolin recordings too. Now I have everything available by both of them, as well as Paul Glasse, Will Patton, and anyone else who has played jazz mandolin. I proudly call myself a Stiernberg disciple. Now if I could only learn how to spell his name!

There can never be enough said about Jethro, but your coverage does the man and his music justice. Well done!
