Don,

Thanks for that live clip of Mark playing at the National Flatpicking contest. I have the studio version on CD.

Mac,

Dawgmusicology



It was actually David Grisman who coined the term Dawg Music to describe the style of music his band played. David's nickname was Dawg. His guitar player was Mark O’Connor. When Mark left he was replaced by Tony Rice.

Since Tony wasn’t used to playing that style he was given lessons by jazz guitar great John Carlini.

I’ve always loved playing Dawg music. On my Soundcloud clip we played several Grisman songs on that radio show.

Fun stuff.
